The Biden-Harris marketing campaign known as out the proposed plan to have Donald Trump unilaterally impose a nationwide abortion ban if he returns to the White Home.
NOTUS reported on the conservative plan:
Anti-abortion activists have their eyes on a much bigger prize: If former President Donald Trump wins a second time period within the White Home, they hope and anticipate that he’ll successfully ban abortions all through the USA by prohibiting the cargo not simply of abortion medication, however any instruments docs might use to induce an abortion.
They’re pinning their hopes on the Comstock Act, a collection of legal guidelines enacted in 1873 that prohibit the cargo of “each article or factor designed, tailored or meant for producing abortion.” The legislation was basically unenforceable in the course of the Roe period, however a federal decide in Texas dominated in 2023 that the Comstock Act prohibits the cargo of the 2 medication utilized in greater than half of all abortions immediately.
Such an enforcement of Comstock would ban something used to carry out an abortion. Gear and drugs would now not be shipped by the mail. Trump might unilaterally impose a nationwide abortion ban with out Congress or the courts doing a factor.
Biden marketing campaign spokesperson Shea Necheles responded in an announcement supplied to PoliticusUSA, “Daily, Donald Trump and his allies are clearly laying out their harmful plan to inflict extra medical chaos and cruelty on girls throughout this nation. Overturning Roe wasn’t sufficient; now they’re working to ban abortion nationwide, with or with out Congress. However voters have additionally been clear: they won’t stand for Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans’ assaults on their reproductive rights. This November shall be no totally different.”
The far-right is on the lookout for methods to sidestep democracy to implement their unpopular agenda. When a Republican says they received’t vote for a nationwide abortion ban what they’re leaving out is that they may not must as a result of Donald Trump will do it for them.
Democracy and primary human rights are on the poll in 2024 and the American individuals must vote accordingly.
