Republicans in at least 6 other states are scrambling to duplicate Texas' abortion ban.
I'm of two minds, I am horrified at the enthusiastic embrace of ineluctable evil, and I am also loath to stop an enemy from stepping on their own penis:
Republican leaders in as many as six US states are rushing to follow the lead of Texas in adopting an extreme abortion ban that critics, including Joe Biden, have slammed as unconstitutional and built to encourage vigilantism among the public.
Abortion rights advocates are bracing to resist a flurry of initiatives from Florida to North Dakota in the wake of the new Texas law, the most extreme in the US, which the conservative majority on the supreme court refused to block.
On Wednesday, the law went into effect in Texas, banning abortion past six weeks of a pregnancy, including for victims of incest or rape, and giving any private citizen the option to sue someone providing an abortion or anyone even believed to be peripherally assisting someone to get an abortion.
Within a day of the law going into effect, six other states – North Dakota, Mississippi, Indiana, Florida, South Dakota and Arkansas – have said they are looking to adopt a similar ban, according to numerous reports.
It seems to me that the level of evil present in a proposal directly correlates to the enthusiasm with which Republicans rush to adopt that proposition.
