4. Legislators in some states have already said they would make cross-border abortions illegal.

People need to wake up and understand what this would mean. It means that if you buy a pregnancy test, the seller has to report you to a government entity. If your doctor does a pregnancy test, he or she has to report you to a government entity. Then the government has to monitor your pregnancy to determine whether you end it. God help you if you have a miscarriage because that could be prosecuted as an abortion.

If you are pregnant and need an abortion to save your life because you need immediate treatment for an aggressive cancer, your doctors will need permission from the state for the abortion unless, of course, you live in a state with no exceptions for the life of the mother, in which case you can just go home and wait to die.

Republicans are turning the US into a police state where they want the government to monitor and decide private medical decisions—and the government gets to decide which bathroom you use. In the meantime, the planet is burning and the rich are grabbing as much of the country’s wealth as they can while the power is with them.

I will never understand why any person votes for a Republican!
