Not everything played out the way people expected.
GOP lawmakers in Indiana, South Carolina and West Virginia spent portions of the past year accusing one another of either being too soft or too extreme on abortion. Some lawmakers favor banning abortion at conception. Others support prohibitions around six weeks. Some support abortions only when the pregnant person’s life is in danger. Others believe in exemptions for rape, incest or a lethal fetal anomaly.have delayed or stalled anti-abortion legislation at the state and federal levels.
Soon after winning back the majority earlier this year, House Republicans passed two measures to condemn attacks on crisis pregnancy centers and penalize doctors who refuse to care for infants who are born after an abortion attempt. But they haven’t made good on their pledge to hold a vote on a national abortion ban, despite pressure from anti-abortion groups to do so.
Other abortion-rights groups, however, argue that the viability standard is broadly supported by the general public and has the best chance of passing at the ballot box.. Some abortion-rights advocates pushing to repeal parental notification laws in blue states say they create unnecessary barriers and paperwork problems for minors who want to obtain abortions, and that in some cases, a minor may face emotional or physical harm if their parent is told about the abortion.
Energized by those wins, abortion-rights groups in Florida, Missouri, Ohio and South Dakota, are angling to get measures on the ballot either this year or in 2024 that would codify the right to abortion in those states’ constitutions.prevent those measures from reaching voters, in what they say is an effort to keep deep-pocketed, out-of-state groups from spending millions to sway policy.
