    The Attorney General seems to condemn the Texas abortion ban. The 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act is supposed to protect women's rights to abortions. While this statement seems to be a good initial step, it's unclear how much the federal government can/will help challenge the Texas law.

    It's kind of weird that there are so many opinions about the ban. Some are just so contradictory with the law and misleading, I just wish there was clarification on it.

    Good point, Julian. We should discuss why the Texas abortion law does not actually declare it to be a crime. . . why is this their strategy?

    This story details the 9th pregnancy of Adora Perez. Her son was stillborn and tested positive for meth. Although there is no evidence that meth-use leads to stillbirths, punishment of drug-using mothers has become more common. Most of the attention is on abortion, but cases like this are another way the government tries to hijack women's (especially women of color's) reproductive rights.
