Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) said Sunday that last week’s Arizona Supreme Court ruling banning nearly all abortions in the state is a result of actions former President Trump took while in office.
“Let me start by saying this has been a disaster for women in Arizona. They’ve lost a fundamental right to abortion, and it’s all because of Donald Trump,” Kelly said in an interview on CBS News’s “Face the Nation” on Sunday.
“Donald Trump owns this. He said just yesterday that he broke Roe v. Wade, and because he did that, this enabled our court to bring back this draconian 1864 law to take away this right, send doctors to jail,” Kelly added.
Why was it never codified into law thus entire time? I have to ask. We’ve had plenty of time to weave Roe V Wade into the constitution and the democrats never made it a priority when they had majority. Not to downplay the malice of Republicans. But this is why politicians need to be more proactive instead of reactive. But no, nobody does anything until some crazy asshole shits all over everyone.
An amendment requires 3/4 of states to sign off on it which was never going to happen with abortion
Passing it as a federal law - yes they probably could’ve done that with a push
