It's heartening to witness the progress Mexico has made in restoring reproductive rights — and it’s maddening to see the destruction of those rights continue in the U.S.
Antiabortion forces are trying to use the antiquated Comstock Act to justify a national abortion ban. But if the Supreme Court is true to its own reasoning, that won’t flyIn Texas, where abortion is illegal unless the pregnant person’s life is in danger, a number of cities are consideringto make it a crime to help a pregnant person travel on roads in that city to get an abortion in another state .
a private citizen would have the right to sue someone they suspected of helping a person travel on Texas roads and highways out of town for an abortion. The idea that you could sue someone for legally driving a person to get a procedure that is legal in another state is preposterous and possibly a violation of several constitutional rights, including due process. But as with SB 8, if it’s enforced only through citizen lawsuits, there’s no government official to sue for a constitutional violation. The point is to scare people into not traveling on roads in Texas to get abortions.
