The religious are not rational, so that's an unreasonable expectation.
Nice stereotyping there. I consider myself a believer but I would never object to a woman getting an abortion if her life were at stake by giving birth. I know many Christians that would also agree with that. There's a difference between radical Christians and those who are not.
Not surprising as many republicans believe that the government owns their bodies. This would be saying that being a resident of a state means that the state controls everything you do in life, owns you.
I don't see how you could possibly craft this in to law. Forcing your own residents, who are US citizens, not to cross state lines to engage in a behavior that is legal in that state is outrageous.
I don't see how they could do it, legally.
But the very fact that they WANT to - what the hell?
When I read the Handmaids Tale back in the 80's I thought that was ridiculous. Now, not so much.
The Supreme Court is nothing but a rubber stamp enabler for the evangelical authoritarian takeover now. That is how they will do it.
That's not what I think Texas lawmakers are planning. I think the goal is to use a flood of civil lawsuits to pressure out-of-state providers into refusing to perform procedures for residents of Texas. The lawsuits don't even have to stand; they just have to be enough of an annoyance to motivate providers to stop seeing anyone from Texas. It's basically the same technique they've used in their own state. Use financial threats to shut down the providers, and you eradicate abortion without ever having to criminalize it.
O don't think that would stand up in the courts but shouldn't Texas be spending more time on it's abysmal Foster Care system or increasing health care coverage for it's citizens that ranks near the bottom. Instead they go off on these vendettas that injure poor women.
The point of this thread is, Texas is proposing stopping women from leaving Texas for other states to get an abortion.
Read through the article in the OP.
the point is, no such bill has been proposed yet. Yes, the leftist OP has entitled it "Texas GOP Lawmakers to Block" but that's pure projection and conjecture.
and, if you read the article as you claim to have, you'd see the times some of the "wish list" of a few restrictions would likely be unconstitutional. If you read the article.

In your world, are walls built to stop airplanes?
