Republicans won’t stop until abortion is banned across America | Moira Donegan

It is time for liberal Americans, and all American women, to face this reality: there will soon be no safe states

Republicans want to ban abortion nationwide, and they have the nerve to claim that this is a compromise. This week, Senator Lindsay Graham, of South Carolina, introduced a bill to ban all abortions everywhere in the United States at 15 weeks. Abortion is already banned before 15 weeks in 15 states.

It is banned outright in Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin. Indiana's ban on abortion went into effect just this Wednesday. It is banned at six weeks - in practice a total ban - in Georgia and Ohio. West Virginia passed an abortion ban, too. It won't be the last.
