What will be the next state to gut Roe v Wade?

[Poiuyt]

Now that Texas has provided a blueprint for virtually overturning R v W, there will surely be other states that will try to do the same thing. Or will the federal government come up with some way of preventing those laws?

Which states are most susceptible?

[XanaDUer2]

1. Florida nt

[Lochloosa]

11. Yep

[pwb]

2. Just do it before the election.

And watch women rise up and vote out these dinosaurs.

[totodeinhere]

6. Easier said than done. A lot of women in red states have been voting against their best interests

for quite a while.

[pwb]

9. Republicans vote against their interests but it is another

thing to lose those rights. We shall see.

[totodeinhere]

14. Yes, we shall see.

And they probably do not need a majority of women's votes. The men's vote might put them over the top as long as they get a fairly respectable chunk of the women's vote.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. If you think people are voting against their best interests, what it means is that you don't

really understand what their interests are at all.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. I would not count on this, especially with the voting restrictions being implemented.

[totodeinhere]

19. Those voting restrictions are not intended to discourage white women from voting.

Most of those restrictions will disproportionately affect people of color much more, and Democrats in the South have trouble winning without a robust African American vote.

3. Florida will be next because gov. DeSantis thinks Trump will bless him to run as

president in 2024 and he will win because of these tactics. The Florida legislature is already pursuing it. Someone someplace said South Dakota will be next after Florida.

[totodeinhere]

4. There will be a race among red states to see which one is the next to pass that law.

My guess if Florida but it might be Arkansan or Mississippi.

5. I read that Florida is almost ready to introduce their legislation in the next week

7. Gov Ricketts of Nebraska "Applauds Tx..."

8. Arkansas

12. Yeppers. You know Jim Bob and Michelle have been praying!!!!

10. OK has one that goes into effect on 11/1

It's being challenged and will be blocked if it doesn't have similar "enforced by the public" language.

A dozen other states have previously passed "heartbeat" bills in the last few years. All were blocked by the courts, but several might give it another go if this last gets past the first real challenge.

[IcyPeas]

13. Nebraska are already looking into it

(saw this on another thread here)

15. this is from 2019, I'm sure there's more recent

Gestational age bans were enacted in nine states: Alabama enacted a total ban on abortion. Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi and Ohio banned abortion at six weeks of pregnancy, based on when a fetal heartbeat can be detected. Missouri banned abortion at eight weeks and included additional bans at different gestational ages in anticipation of litigation. Arkansas and Utah banned abortion at 18 weeks of pregnancy.
Indiana and North Dakota banned the method that is the standard of care for surgical abortion after about 14 weeks of pregnancy. Two other states currently have a ban in place on this method of abortion.
Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Utah banned abortion of a fetus that has or may have Down syndrome. In addition, Kentucky and Missouri banned abortion based on the race or predicted sex of the fetus, and Kentucky banned abortion for a diagnosis of a genetic anomaly. (Eight states currently ban abortion for purposes of sex selection; one of those states also has a ban based on race selection, and another of those states has a ban in effect based on genetic anomaly.)
Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee adopted legislation that would ban abortion if the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade. (With these additions, eight states have “trigger bans” in place.)

16. Missouri will try but they are so inept they will mess it up.

[ecstatic]

20. Georgia tried but it failed, I wonder if they can try again?

Now that a lot of votes will be neutralized in upcoming elections?
