Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.

    “They’re also trying to create a precedent, kind of bit by bit, establishing that a fetus is a rights-holding person, or an unborn child is a rights-holding person in the law. It’s a bid to eventually get that claim before the U.S. Supreme Court,” Ziegler said.

    This is the really concerning part. You know exactly how the SC would rule on that.

    Which only shows how mindfucked those people are. I mean, what will they do? Stop random cars with women inside, interrogating them and testing their blood for potential pregnancies?

    That has to violate the 4th Amendment.

    From The Bill of Rights:

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    You can’t just assume any & all pregnant women are going to get an abortion, so that’s not probable cause.
