Biden rule seeks to protect women who travel for abortions. Missouri AG Bailey opposes it

Letter

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey has signed onto a multi-state effort to push back on a rule from President Joe Biden’s administration designed to protect women who obtain abortions out of state.

But on Tuesday a spokesperson for Bailey said that the Republican’s office does not track women who leave the state for abortions or gender-affirming care and accused the president of pushing a false narrative.

“This is not about states needing access to medical information; it’s about halting Biden’s perpetuation of a false narrative and combating government overreach,” Bailey spokesperson Madeline Sieren told The Star in an email.

Sieren, in response to a follow up, said that Bailey’s office “does not keep track of Missouri residents who receive abortions in other states, nor do we plan to pursue legal action against mothers who leave the state to obtain abortions. Mothers are victims of the abortion industry.”

Bailey in June signed onto the letter from Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch along with 17 other Republican attorneys general. The letter called on U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra to end a proposed rule change that would prevent states from using health information to investigate reproductive health care “that is sought, obtained, provided, or facilitated in a state where the health care is lawful and outside of the state where the investigation or proceeding is authorized,” according to a fact sheet on the proposal.

1. Yes. What about our Constitutional RIGHT TO PRIVACY?

And what about the all-hallowed STATES' RIGHTS? This is similar to how the Civil War started. The slaveowner states started rampaging into the free states, demanding the right to hunt down, torture, tie up, and drag free Black people back to the slaveowner states. And sometimes they grabbed Black people who had never even been slaves! And they started lording it over the white people around in these free states, too. And that was when a bunch of white people who had been hard to reach began to see the wisdom of what the Abolitionists had been saying.

2. Conservatives on the SCOTUS literally ruled there is no right to privacy for anyone now

That's what the Dodd opinion literally stated.

But the right to travel freely is still a right that is being fought over here.

Dodd is an atrocity and is the largest erosion of personal freedom and growth of government power in our nation's history.
