Ala: Fla called: They want their stupid back.

1. Alabama, Mississippi and Florida

They're the backwards country.

As Bill Maher once said, "In Alabama, of course, a high school senior is a MILF."

2. Don't forget Ohio, sadly looks like we're headed the same way.

3. South Carolina, as well.

There's a "heartbeat" bill in the works here, too. It will probably pass, this state being the backwards hellhole that it is.

4. They'll have a MUCH harder time getting rid of abortion in FL. than in those other states.

Privacy is enshrined in the FL Constitution, one of the few states with such a provision. The constitution of the state would have to be amended and that takes 2/3 vote which the Repugs will not be able to get. They have tried and tried and tired and failed each time. In fact, even if Roe v Wade is overturned, abortion will still be legal here due to that provision.

5. I understand your point, and I don't doubt the facts.

I assume they'll contrive some kind of exception or work-around, if the others lose roe.

6. I hope you are wrong, but agree they certainly WANT to do that.

Every year it's same dumb thing or another - they passed a parental approval law but the courts struck it down due to "privacy". They were able to pass a law allowing pharmacists to refuse to provide Plan B or any type of birth control - so that's fucked up - but my daughter has no problem buying her pills every month and her friend had no issues buying Plan B.
