New ordinances would ban driving through cities and counties en route to abortion care

The latest strategy engineered by the Right to Life group comes amid growing frustrations about the number of women who are going out of state for an abortion.

Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.

    That has to violate the 4th Amendment.

    From The Bill of Rights:

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    You can’t just assume any & all pregnant women are going to get an abortion, so that’s not probable cause.

        Nah, they never gave a shit about the Constitution. It’s just like the Bible for them, they can tell their voters it says whatever they want it to and they know damn well none of them have ever read it and never will.

            They haven’t even gone to the trouble of making a version of the Bible that supports their worldview.

          That’s not true! Every time a room full of 6 years gets shot up they read half of the second amendment! They never read the rest but go fuck yourself if you’re going to stop them from murdering rooms of children.

        Just need an attorney that wants to stand agaisnt this. Every woman pulled over in these cities should call them up and he sues the city under the 4th ammendment.

        They’ll all go broke pretty quick and their courts will be tied up permanently. Either the town will financially collapse or realise that the law is just to harrass people.
