Anti-abortion activists plan backdoor strategy to US ban
A federal abortion ban won’t pass Congress. But activists hope a 19th Century law could be enforced to halt the procedure.
US anti-abortion activists, including allies of Donald Trump, have a strategy to ban abortion nationwide - one that bypasses Congress and the American people. It's a plan that hinges on Mr Trump's re-election in November and the use of a little-known 19th Century law.
At this year's annual "Pro-Life Summit" on 20 January, guests listened to a keynote speech from Marjorie Dannenfelser, head of Susan B Anthony Pro-Life America, one of the country's most influential anti-abortion groups.
Ms Dannenfelser is widely credited with convincing Donald Trump to appoint three anti-abortion justices to the Supreme Court during his presidential term. In June 2022, those appointees helped overturn Roe v Wade, rescinding the nationwide right to abortion.
It was a generational victory for the anti-abortion movement. The runway had opened, activists said at the time, to an abortion-free future.

too bad we have a Catholic leader that has conflict of interest in this

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_abortion
ideology has taken over the US
And yet he's in favor of protecting access to abortion.
with all that webpage full of words and nothing meaningful in any of it
could he not have signed an executive order to restore abortion rights?
the congress and senate are so tied up what could they pass against it if he did?
Biden less than quarter assing it as usual but acting like he accomplished something and demanding praise and funding
could he not have signed an executive order to restore abortion rights?
No he can't you fucking moron.
the congress and senate are so tied up what could they pass against it if he did?
Republicans have blocked that for all of the decades since Roe v Wade.
So both sides then?
I assume anyone who says 'both sides!' to anything involving Trump butter both sides of their toast and throw it on the floor before eating it, just to prove it always lands butter side down.
well both sides have worked together to make sure there is no other choices presented such as the fact that both corporate parties rig the board so other parties never get a chance to voice their vision for the US to the voters
so yes it is both sides or nothing in the US and some of us are not even allowed to vote
I really thought we got over this after the election of JFK.
