Hold tf on. So what happens when someone gets an abortion in a place where it’s illegal? There are places making illegal for pregnant women to use highways to stop them from traveling to other states. I know these aren’t just fines.
previously, abortion laws prevented doctors from performing them.
Women simply couldn’t get their health providers to give them one. I’m not sure what would have happened if they went with the ol’ rusty coathanger route. (remember folks, banning abortions doesn’t actually stop abortions. It just makes them substantially less safe.)
In any case, what they’re now trying to do is, lock women up who go get otherwise legal abortions out of state. For their next trick, they’ll bar women from having freedom of travel. so they can’t escape.
But that’s what I’m saying. Those are already laws in places like Texas. So why does the article/Snopes mention that putting women in prison isn’t a thing they say? Is a semantical issue that not ALL of them say it?
"DeSantis could have fairly said that the most prominent US anti-abortion groups have expressed opposition to the idea of jailing women for getting an abortion. "
which is more or less true. mainstream anti-abortion advocates still want to appear “reasonable”
they’re still trying to avoid saying the quiet part out loud. It’s only the far right christofascists that are openly saying they want to lock women up for an abortion. every one else is smart enough to keep their mouth shut.
Well the new speaker praised the bill that would have jailed women who get an abortion for 1-10 years. So…that is the direction they want to take it. But that’s not a surprise.

They’ll be executed. No prison!
That’s pro life!
That sounds like abortion with extra steps.
The extra steps were about controlling women’s bodies, so the actual goal was achieved.

The article blantantly says desantis is wrong.
It’s desantis whose saying no one is arguing for jail time. not cnn or snopes.
