Abortion clinics in Colorado say they are seeing a rise not only for abortion pill appointments but also abortions in later pregnancy.

    I wouldn’t put it past them to make it illegal to travel to another US state to get an abortion.

      That’s in violation of the commerce clause of the constitution

      That’s why you can buy weed in Colorado and not be prosecuted in Texas, as an example.

        So basically someone would have to appeal it to the SC if the feds came after them.

        Considering the state of the court, I wouldn’t count on the commerce clause standing in regards to prosecuting abortions.

        It is a violation until it goes to scotus who will say that it doesn’t apply just like with the precedent of Roe v Wade and that made up case about a website for a gay couple.

          I definitely understand the sentiment, but this is literally written into the constitution - the others are reinterpretations of former decisions

          They’re both bullshit, and one didn’t even have standing, but they’re much easier to “justify”
