From The Times editorial board: 'Opponents of abortion have chosen to test, relentlessly, the boundaries of the three landmark Supreme Court rulings on abortion that began with Roe vs. Wade.' (via latimesopinion )
Gov. Mike DeWine speaks before signing a bill imposing one of the nation's toughest abortion restrictions on April 11 in Columbus, Ohio.
The court’s rulings on abortion haven’t been accepted in the same way other landmark rulings on social issues have. Laws are not passed to challenge or undermine the court’s decision in Brown vs. Board of Education.
For women who live in states with few abortion clinics, access is a severe problem. In states that have passed laws making it unnecessarily difficult for clinics to operate, many have been compelled to close — even if the courts have eventually enjoined those laws or struck them down. Today, there are six states that each have only one abortion clinic.
However, just in the first few months of this year, state legislatures have abandoned such pretenses and have upped the ante in their fight against abortion rights. There was even a short-lived bill proposed in the Texas House of Representatives that would have made having an abortion a homicide — punishable, in some cases, by the death penalty. That bill didn’t even make it out of its first committee.
