Demokraten sollten in Europa nach einem Abtreibungskompromiss suchen
Die Republikaner scheinen plötzlich eine Antwort auf die Unbeliebtheit von Abtreibungsverboten in der Post-Saison gefunden zu haben.Dobbs Ära: ein „Kompromiss“, angelehnt an die Abtreibungsregelungen der meisten europäischen Länder, die Abtreibungen nur im ersten Trimester der Schwangerschaft erlauben und sie danach mit wenigen Ausnahmen einschränken. North Carolina hat kürzlich ein entsprechendes Gesetz verabschiedet, obwohl sein Gouverneur ein Veto eingelegt hatte. Es erlaubt Abtreibungen in den ersten 12 Wochen der Schwangerschaft, mit Ausnahme von Vergewaltigungen bis zur 20. Woche, bei fetalen
What Overturning Roe Did to the Anti-abortion Movement

How a Roe Overturn Would Deepen America’s Divides

The Judge Who Told the Truth About the Mississippi Abortion Ban
Of all the arguments that animate the anti-abortion cause, two stand out as particularly far-fetched: that banning abortion protects women’s health and shields African Americans from genocide. Yet for years, these arguments have driven debates over state laws, served as justifications for court decisions upholding those laws, and even appeared on billboards warning women in predominantly Black communities not to kill their babies. Three years ago, Mississippi lawmakers prohibited almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy to save
