Alabama can prosecute those who help women travel for abortions, state’s AG says

[NxNW]

We're not talking about arresting bus drivers. We're talking about arresting people who charter abortion buses.

There is no such thing as an abortion bus.

I pray and hope all life is protected. Sick of this pro-death culture.

Not relevant to the thread.

Well supporting children born into overtly usually requires tax money. I assume you are welcome to that?

When I have inquired about ways to stop punishing children because their parents had sex, there are rarely answers for that. Once the child is born the sentiment by many around here turns to it is wholly the mother's responsibility to care for that child. Don't ask us for money to fund socialism (otherwise known as food, education, and basic medical care for indigent children).

Children who grow up in abject poverty and are regularly malnourished/hungry, in ill-fitting clothing, have a lack of educational tools other children have, frequently in abusive situations, with little to no medical care rarely make productive adults.

There's no such thing as arresting bus drivers, because mothers who want to kill their children bought a ticket.

Make a thing more illegal rather than look at the underlying cause.

Fornication? Prostitution? Self interest at the expense of children's lives?

Nonsense

Does this happen outside of your head?

Does this happen outside of your head?

Let's put my response it its' proper context. Can you do that?

Can you name one bus driver who was arrested, because a woman who wanted to kill her child bought a ticket for the bus that he was driving?

Actually, it is a game!

Abortion Bus: a long drive for a fundamental right

A 23-hour-long "game" to raise money for abortion funds.

LOL!

I agree, because there are no busses of mothers who want to kill their children.

Fornication? Prostitution? Self interest at the expense of children's lives?

Children's lives are not the issue here. Banning a legal activity is.

This thread is not about women who want to kill their children.

 

[HARK!]

Children's lives are not the issue here.

It is at the very heart of the issue.

 

[NxNW]

It is at the very heart of the issue.

No, the issue is traveling out of state for legal activity. Republicans are on record as encouraging it.

 

[HARK!]

Yes it is. You might try reading the article.

 

[NxNW]

Yes it is. You might try reading the article.

I read it. It's not a conspiracy if you plan a legal activity.

The Alabama officials know this, but they want to arrest someone and lose in court, so they can complain about "liberal activist judges". It's political theater and nothing more.

 

[HARK!]

It's not a conspiracy if you plan a legal activity.

It is if you plan illegal activity.

 

[Pommer]

It is if you plan illegal activity.

What is the “illegal activity”?

I would assume that the state of Alabama can only prosecute Alabama organizations. If a pregnant woman has an abortion in a pro-choice state, and her transportation and incidentals are arranged by groups in that state, then Alabama would have no case. As early as 2 years ago, Connecticut passed a law that protects abortion patients and providers from being sued or prosecuted. Here's part of their law:

Beyond its main provision, the new measure will also block state agencies from assisting in interstate investigations or prosecutions that would hold someone criminally or civilly liable for providing, seeking, receiving or asking about abortion services legal in Connecticut. It will bar court officers from issuing subpoenas related to legal abortion services in the state.

To my knowledge, there are other pro-choice states that do the same. And anyway, wouldn't travel across state lines for a medical procedure be considered interstate commerce? The regulation of which--according to the Constitution--is a power of Congress. Not a state legislature.
