This bill, which I link to here: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/7/text [https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-resolution/7/text] , seems ok at first glance and only seems to want to implement nationwide healthcare centers for women. But when you actually look at what these Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers are and mean to offer, it becomes really clear what’s going on. > > [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/5c1a3e67-2787-4baa-b906-69483000de67.png] > > On the first page of the PDF or booklet that appear when you search for the healthcare centers it is clear that they are supported by pro-life organisations and hold extreme pro-life values. And when you read the (very short) booklet it states their values and services that are to be provided. Among them is a requirement for “Abortion Pill Reversal” and encouragement for “Sterilization Reversal”. The last page clearly states their values, where among them it states that: > > “Abortion is not women’s healthcare, because of the damage it causes to women’s physical and emotional health and the destruction of unborn life, many of whom are females. Abortion is usually something women turn to when they feel they do not have another choice. This is a tragedy and the opposite of choice and empowerment.” > > And it goes on to list similiar values. The bill to implement these healthcare centers states that: > > "That the House of Representatives— > > (1) expresses its support for women nationwide to have access to comprehensive, convenient, compassionate, life-affirming, high-quality health care; and > > (2) recognizes the high standards established by Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers consortium as standards worth implementing nationwide." > > This means that the values that these Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers have are to be set as standards nationwide. > > A link to the PDF/booklet about the Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers (PWHC): > https://nacn-usa.org/wp-content/uploads/PWHC-Booklet.pdf [https://nacn-usa.org/wp-content/uploads/PWHC-Booklet.pdf]

Ok states rights crowd, fuck around and find out with my states constitutional protection of abortion.
state laws, including their constitutions, mean zip when federal law or the nation’s constitution conflicts and takes precedence.
In this case there’s a Supreme Court decision that this issue should be left up to the states. Sure key they won’t reverse themselves so soon, right?
Yeah, exactly. Once the Supreme Court has made a ruling like that, they usually leave it alone for a long time. That’s why the focus shifts to the states, they get to decide how to handle it within their own laws. It can feel frustrating, but that’s how the system is set up.👌
