As states rush to restrict abortion, disagreement emerges among lawmakers, activists. Via KHNews:
In anticipation of a new anti-abortion tilt on the Supreme Court bench, some states are moving to further restrict the procedure during the first trimester of pregnancy or to outlaw abortion entirely if Roe v. Wade ever falls. But the rush to regulate has exposed division among groups and lawmakers who consider themselves staunch abortion opponents..
Some say the rush to pass these bills is about lawmakers competing to get their particular state’s law before the Supreme Court. The state that helps overturn Roe v. Wade would go down in history. A “heartbeat bill” in the state has had high-profile support, including from the Tennessee’s new governor. But the Republican attorney generalsuch a law would be difficult to defend in court. And several Republicans, swayed by that logic, voted no for the legislation.
