Trump's wing plans further curtailment of women's rights

I don't know if it's widespread news, but the state of Arizona has overturned an existing state law on abortion, so that the state reverts to a ban from 150 years ago!

Then there are the plans of Trump's cronies.

Far-right wants 'Department of Life' in second Trump term to further curtail women’s rights

A coalition of far-right groups assembling a presidential transition plan in the event former President Donald Trump (or any Republican) is elected to the White House is doubling down on their plans to further restrict reproductive rights.

Axios reported Saturday that Project 2025 — a multimillion-dollar campaign led by the Heritage Foundation — remains unrelenting in its stated goals of asserting even more control over women's bodies should Republicans retake the presidency in November. The group's 887-page blueprint, "Mandate for Leadership," includes a section on how it would drastically restructure the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to focus heavily on making abortions even harder to get.

The document states that the HHS should become "known as the Department of Life," specifically by "rejecting the notion that abortion is health care and by restoring its mission statement under the Strategic Plan and elsewhere to include furthering the health and well-being of all Americans 'from conception to natural death.'"...

Other proposed restrictions on abortion rights include the defunding of Planned Parenthood (even though abortions count for a small fraction of the organization's healthcare services for women), and reversing FDA approval of abortion medication proven to be safe and effective, like Mifepristone.

It's frightening, and some of these extremist anti-choice groups are starting to campaign over here.

Well hopefully the Arizona electorate will vote them out at the first opportunity.

Well, I certainly hope that you're smart and energetic enough to nip it in the bud!

Some states like Arizona will have abortion Amendments on the ballot in November. Will this encourage more women - and sympathetic men - to turn out and vote ?

Democrats have done much better than polls suggest in 'special elections ' in surprising places like Alabama. They are like our by elections afaik. It would be great if there was a 'roewave ' in the Presidential election. The US economy is doing quite well but Biden is a lacklustre candidate.
