Sorry, I wasn’t sure if this belonged in news or politics so I just guessed. I can move it if I need to.
So, Alabama just passed a total ban on abortion. It’s debatable whether Alabama’s law or Georgia’s is worse. Alabama bans all abortions, but doesn’t punish women only providers. Georgia’s ban allows for abortion up to 6 weeks, but not only does it punish women for having illegal bans, it also punishes women for planning to leave the state to have a legal abortion and could potentially punish women with prison time for having a miscarriage.
Both of these are pretty horrifying. The Alabama ban scares me most because it seems likely to end with a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and a federal law banning all abortion in the entire country.
Am I being paranoid in thinking that this is just the beginning of something bigger? What comes next? What other rights will women lose? How far will this go? Am I crazy to be freaked out?
