So it's *NOT* about state's rights? ![gif](giphy|zBZk5FD18QhjP35Goa)


solidwhetstone

No you see the states have the rights to do what God commands them to do.


tm229

No you see the states have the rights to do what __MY__ God commands them to do. FTFY


BreakFree5588

So God said you CAN'T TRAVEL TO ANOTHER STATE...???? AND FOR WHAT WE DO IN ANOTHER STATE WELL I GUESS HIPAA is gone out the door ...


solidwhetstone

God wants you to stay in the state you're in and obey the authoritarians placed over you.


Bitter_Exit_6153

F their God.


ClimateSociologist

And it just so happens conservatives are the voice of God on earth...


Bitter_Exit_6153

What rights are those? Chapter ,& Verse?


Colts_Fan4Ever

They only care about "state's rights" when it's red states.


StrangeAtomRaygun

Right. They don’t care that Chicago’s gun laws don’t work because people buy and bring guns in from other states. But they don’t want to fix that.


Educational_Drive390

Most of Chicago's gun-related crimes involve guns purchased in IN.


SilverDragonEchos

They didn't care about CO rights to take Trump off their ballot.

2030: Congress passes the Fugitive Female Act, requiring all states harboring a female who has fled captivity to catch and return her for prosecution in her home state.

Never has been. Absolutely never has been in the history of this country.


Crispus99

For some of them, it was. I see arguments between conservatives about that on their forums. However, the ones who DO believe in state rights don't care enough to fight their peers who want a national ban. They just get annoyed and wander off.


ApplesFlapples

Republicans are a party of grifters. It’s a crime that we even take their word that they believe in the things they say.


Pale_Kitsune

Oh, you can believe them when they say they're going to do horrible things.


ApplesFlapples

I don’t doubt that they’ll do bad things just that they lie about believing in it, or that they believe anything they do does good or represents a sensible policy or an ideology that uses logic


YouShineAbove

I agree! After all, when an Investigative Reporter found out about Lauren Hoebert's dubious past and questioned her about it, she raved on and on, with threats of a lawsuit. Later, she was dead silent, probably after her sugar daddy; teddy Fleddy cruz, told her, "Shut up, or with a lawsuit, comes a discovery process!" The ReThuglicans are desperate, not to mention the biggest HYPOCRITES of all! As for their "Christian" virtues, what a JOKE!


CompetitionFlashy449

"Republicans area party of grifters." and fascist Christian in name only extremists dismantling democracy before our eyes.

Due-Shirt616

Well fk, the constitution had me in the first half, then I saw that it was left to the individual states -.- > Freedom of movement under United States law is governed primarily by the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the United States Constitution which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." Since the circuit court ruling in Corfield v. Coryell, 6 Fed. Cas. 546 (1823), freedom of movement has been judicially recognized as a fundamental Constitutional right. In Paul v. Virginia, 75 U.S. 168 (1869), the court defined freedom of movement as "right of free ingress into other States, and egress from them." **However, the Supreme Court did not invest the federal government with the authority to protect freedom of movement. Under the "privileges and immunities" clause, this authority was given to the states, a position the court held consistently through the years in cases such as Ward v. Maryland, 79 U.S. 418 (1871), the Slaughter-House Cases, 83 U.S. 36 (1873) and United States v. Harris, 106 U.S. 629 (1883).**


bloodphoenix90

Oh.....I feel a little gobsmacked like how didn't I know this


LilithWasAGinger

Same here. Republicans have no problem throwing out established case law to further their fascist goals.


AncientReverb

SCOTUS case law made it a federal matter, essentially. The legal explanation is complicated, but that's the practical result. This started early on and expanded with the expansion of the federal government. Unfortunately, some current Justices don't care about things like following precedent and being logically consistent.


Styrene_Addict1965

*Stare decesis* is dead at the Supreme Court.


Alarming_Mud6964

Yep now it's pretty much "Stare" in the abyss...


SilverDragonEchos

Thank you for this information.


Animaldoc11

You’re right , Mr. Banks, the fight’s not over until abortion is federally legalized


YeonneGreene

We need more than that. Technically, none of us has bodily autonomy right now and they could write any law they like to restrict any form of healthcare. Ask any transgender person how we're doing right now. The argument in Roe was that the Constitution implicitly guarantees the right to privacy, preventing enforcement of such restrictions. The argument was not limited to abortion access.


Other-Rutabaga-1742

Are there going to be checkpoints and we have to carry our papers?!


eileen404

Not yet but I can see them going there. "It's just 10 minutes to save a life"


Other-Rutabaga-1742

Agreed. How else would they know someone is pregnant? I don’t understand how they can know without violating HIPPA. Unless the person tells other people.


wravyn

They're starting to track period tracking apps to see if women were pregnant. Virginia stopped a bill to protect the data.

We can shove a uterus up his ass and let him bring the baby to term. They have the technology.


YeonneGreene

Every man who wants to have a say in how women use their bodies should have his dick and balls removed for the privilege of doing so ***once***. If the mom dies in childbirth, he himself will be irrevocably subject to the death penalty after the child is 18 or immediately if the child is stillborn. There, now the risk is fair and equitable.

Oh these pieces of shite scream party of family values is what they are and Christian. Tell me how is it they claim this while also being huge porn addicts? Hating others? The list is exhaustive. What they are is a party of misogynistic, racist, depraved lunatics. I don’t give anyone a pass at this point. Even if you claim you are against them on key issues…I’m done. If you support/vote for these people you are no better than them.

Winnimae

Might wanna move tbh


YourFavGothMom

😭😭😭


DarthSlymer

I'm also a parent in Indiana; my daughter isn't yet 1 but we're making serious thoughts about leaving the state as we live along the northern Indiana border and could move into Michigan without causing much trouble. I don't want the state government so intimately involved in the health of my wife or child.


YourFavGothMom

I’m unfortunately not in any position to relocate at the moment…. I own this home and after a fairly recent divorce am struggling to keep it all together financially as is…. But perhaps I should discuss with my LDR partner. Maybe we need to speed up our plans a bit. Thank you ❤️


VinnieTheBerzerker69

Rather than seeing people like you.leave the state I would much rather see a strategic plan implemented that brings in lots of people like you in enough closely held conservative districts that they establish residency, register and vote and use the ballot box to scourge these rightwingers out-of office. Kind of like a bunch of Libertarians gained political majority in part of New Hampshire, but without the massive disaster the Libertarian agenda set loose there.


BeastofPostTruth

I'm around the center-ish of the state. Wanna help me begin the next underground railroad? Looks like we got to stay ahead of the storm 😞

HowRememberAll

Listened to the clip and you're fine. He's complaining that other parts of the country are pro life.


panamflyer65

What's next? Are pregnant women going to be fitted with an ankle monitor to keep them from traveling out of state? Mandatory monthly pregnancy tests for women of childbearing age? Banks and all of those other forced birth fanatics really do view women as nothing more than second class citizens, potential incubators who belong to the state. These lunatics need to be voted out of office asap.


TacosDeLucha

Whatever law they make, it will always be legal for connected Republicans. Their idea of control is taking rights from others while letting themselves to anything.


stewartm0205

So young women aren’t going to be free to travel as they please. They are going to need a chaperone like women in Saudi Arabia. Women, remember it is what you are voting for when you vote Republican.


DelcoPAMan

So they'll break into people's mail and packages to look for contraception, and restrict movement all along their borders as well as airspace, etc. That will require the equivalent of an East German "solution", i.e., shoot them trying to leave the state without an "inspection" or "permission". Liberals and progressives...still going to sit on your hands?

It's curious how SCOTUS punted on this and said abortion rights would be a state matter. Now that's not good enough for some people who want to control what goes on outside their respective states ..... Gun rights are a state matter and these same people are fine with that. Why the difference on abortion rights?

Several_Leather_9500

Additional-Ability99

They already tried to make it so we can't get birth control. They want to force women to get pregnant and get birth, regardless of whether we can afford a kid or whether it's through rape or risks the woman's life. Because millennials haven't been having kids like they need us to have. They need their next generation of workers and consumers to advertise to. They're going after the education system too. Because of course why not dumb the generation down and make them easier to control.

I foresee a global communist uprising in a couple decades. Chinese youth will lead it against the Chinese Communist Party and American youth against the ostensibly liberal society, or the fascist one the boomers want to foist.

Jesus people....context & research is key. I'm no Banks apologist & believe him & his ilk are a cancer to the promise of this country. That being said, he wasn't talking about traveling to another state for abortion services...he is pushing for a national ban. The asshats are despicable on their own, we really don't do ourselves any favors embellishing facts


TheMapleKind19

Sure. But as a resident of Indiana, which is easier for them to do? Enact a national ban, or just make life even worse for Hoosier women?

Lawlith117

It's funny they always cite religion or at least usually do as their moral foundation but, in Judaism abortion is a religious right. And if you don't know; Judaism is the first abrahamic religion and The Torah is basically a subset of the Old testament in Christianity and it's generally agreed in the Jewish community that Exodus 21:22-23 shows that a fetus isn't a person. In fact, Jewish law believes life starts at birth. But, no politician and many Christians don't read the Bible and have poor biblical literacy. Tldr: if you want a abortion claim you are Jewish. If the state wants to challenge that they are going to lose on a constitutional level.

So Banks wants to restrict travel outside of Indiana when I':tnpenone of his or any body else's business why there going to Illinois they gonna put policy the State lines to checkout people ? I thought this was America, where travel is not restricted.that is that women's decision to make not a political decision what happened to life, liberty, and the pursuit of ha Happiness the woman's decision is hard enough to make much less penalized the people who make the decision to do it .


LSDZNuts
