Pregnancy checkpoints?

Well…don’t know if you have been following the proposed new laws attacking women that are in the pipeline in the US when Roe falls, but if you substituted China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran into the story you it would fit just as well. One of the worst of these is a proposal from a repub, of course, that forbids women from traveling out of state when they are pregnant since they could be going to a state that still allows abortions….and how would they enforce that? By pregnancy checkpoints where every car with a woman in it is stopped and the women have to prove they are not pregnant before they can leave the state…and the only way to do that would be to take a pregnancy test. Now, I’m sure you’re saying “they could never get away with that”….and maybe before the right wing takeover of the courts it would be true…but since that has happened, the treatment of women as second class citizens is the biggest goal of the right and they have no problem with allowing these restrictions…..like Mississippi that has already passed a law that makes it illegal for a woman to leave the state for an abortion and allows anyone to sue the women and anyone who helps them for 10,000 dollars…just like the Texas law the SC left in place. So now I guess the constitution means nothing anymore and it’s gutting will not stop with abortion….so if any women are here reading this today, please get out  to vote in the fall and let’s keep any more of these assholes from being elected…geez…
