Three more ‘trigger law’ abortion bans are coming Thursday

36% of women of childbearing age could soon live in states that mostly prohibit abortion

almost 20.9 million women Lost access to nearly all elective abortions in home country two months after Supreme Court overturned Law vs Wade.

When more restrictive laws coming thursday At that time, trigger bans will be issued in Texas, Tennessee, and Idaho, further banning the surgery altogether or increasing penalties for the doctors who perform it. Katie Shepard, Caroline Kitchener and I report.

The new law builds on a complex network of nationwide abortion restrictions that make the procedure legal in one state and illegal the next. The number of people who have access to abortions in their home countries is changing even faster than a close bystander could imagine.

“I thought it would take a little more time to help providers and patients cope with these changes. Said Elizabeth Nash tracking state abortion laws Guttmacher Institute, A non-profit research center that supports abortion rights. “It was very clear that no such grace period would be provided.”

The layout of the land is as follows. About 14 states ban most abortions, banning the procedure with few exceptions from the time of conception or after fetal heart activity is detected (up to 6 weeks of gestation), and so on. Additionally, he has been temporarily banned by courts, with similar bans in five states.

• If these injunctions are lifted, 36 percent of American women between the ages of 15 and 44 will have little access to elective abortion in their home country.

So let’s focus on the changes looming on Thursday. Proceedings are now restricted in all three states, but upcoming trigger laws will still have an impact.

• Tennessee bans ‘heartbeat’ A near-total ban on abortion, with no exceptions for victims of rape or incest.
• Idaho also plans to move from a “heartbeat” ban to a near-total ban on surgery, with exceptions for rape and incest, and pregnant women’s lives. However, the Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against the ban, and said a federal judge will have an opinion by Wednesday.
• Texas outlawed abortion almost immediately after the Supreme Court’s June ruling. But the latest looming law will make providing an abortion a first-degree felony with civil penalties. $100,000 fine.

The evolving situation is putting patients in a hectic situation. Caydria — the 28-year-old from Jackson, Mississippi, who spoke on the condition that she only use her first name to protect her privacy — arrived at an abortion clinic in Tennessee last week only to find out she had already had an abortion. It turned out to be too far ahead. Caroline reported from Memphis.

The staff handed her a piece of paper with a list of clinics in Illinois. The closest option was where she was over seven hours away from Caydria’s home.

But even in some Republican strongholds, anti-abortion opponents and their support in Republican-led congresses are reaching their limits.

• Kansas voters overwhelming victory ballot measure Removes abortion protection from state constitutions.
• A few days later in Nebraska Republican governor announced It did not convene the previously anticipated special session to pass an abortion ban because it did not get enough votes.
• And some congresses like west virginia and South Carolina, Opinions are divided on whether to include exceptions for rape and incest.

Some activists admit further restrictions will be a tough battle — and see enacting tighter limits as the long game.

Case in point: Blaine Conzatti president of Idaho Family Policy Center, He helped draft Idaho’s nearly six-week ban, and said the inclusion of exceptions for rape and incest was “a tough drug to swallow.”

But despite Republican control of the state’s governor’s office and legislature, such exemptions are unlikely to go away anytime soon. He said he had no plans to bring it to the floor and was happy with the current exception to the law.

• “I think it will be a cross-generational push,” Conzatti said. It will take time to convince reluctant lawmakers, as well as those in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a key constituency that supports some exceptions in cases of rape and incest. I am explaining.
