We Are All Our Own Militia Now

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : And all this is happening as abortion opponents correctly assume that the current Supreme Court's conservative majority intends to passively let reproductive freedom wither away slowly, regardless of the health and welfare of women it used to pretend to cherish.
42% : There is a radical new Texas abortion bill, S.B. 8, that prohibits virtually any abortion after the sixth week of pregnancy, a point at which few women know they are pregnant (and a clear violation of Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey).
42% : Much has been written about how S.B. 8 is stranger and darker than other abortion restrictions -- in addition to the egregiousness of the six-week ban, it also shifts responsibility for enforcement from state actors onto private citizens.
37% : The formal reason state actors are not allowed to enforce the Texas abortion ban is to make it harder for people interested in protecting the right to abortion to sue.
