Leaving abortion up to the individual states is untenable

[markpkessinger]

It is untenable for the very same reason that the Fugitive Slave Act was ultimately untenable: because it raises questions about the obligations under the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution of states where abortion is legal to those states where it is not. You simply cannot have a situation where something is treated as a major crime in one state while being perfectly legal in another. Republicans who try to make this claim are attempting to claim a "middle ground" that does not, in fact, exist!

1. Restricting travel by pregnant people

does remind me so much of the Fugitive Slave Act.

2. We will need an underground railroad for women seeking healthcare.

3. They only have to go one step further to leave it up to the individual women

If they want local control make it local to the one person. I don’t know, but does the equal protection clause apply here?
