ALABAMA ABORTION BAN Copies RUNAWAY SLAVE LAW

New legislation proposed in Alabama would make it illegal to help someone under 18 years-old obtain an abortion.

“Alabama HB378 goes even further than other Republican legislation. In addition to criminalizing anyone who “harbors or transports” a minor for the purpose of getting an abortion, the bill would also make it illegal to “aid and abet” a teen in getting care.” — Jessica Valenti in Abortion, Every Day

Why does that language sound familiar? It’s from the Runaway Slave Law. “The 1793 that law imposed a penalty on any person who helped harbor or conceal escapees…” —  History

Compare the parallels between Alabama’s Abortion Ban and the Runaway Slave Law with this infographic. See how these bans are a prelude to the Leonard Leo’s billionaire funded Project 2025 which would permanently make women the property of men. Vote for Democrats to prevent women from becoming the new slaves.

Criminalize lending a teen gas money or giving someone the url to a clinic

“These so-called anti-trafficking laws are written so broadly that they could criminalize lending a teen gas money or giving someone the url to a clinic. In fact, that’s why Idaho’s law was blocked—a judge found it violated the First Amendment.

Republican Rep. Mark Gidley’s bill leans into that unconstitutional ground. From sections in the bill defining what it means to “harbor” or “assist” a teen: “Providing lodging, shelter, transportation, or money to a minor girl that could help her procure an abortion or abortion-inducing drug without the knowledge, consent, or involvement of her parents or legal guardian… Providing assistance to a minor girl in order to procure an abortion or obtain abortion-inducing drugs.”

Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, who argued in a court filing that the state can restrict travel for pregnant women when they have “strong, legitimate interests including preserving unborn life.” Most offensively, Marshall claimed the state could restrict travel for pregnant people in the same way it can restrict travel for sex offenders.” — Jessica Valenti in Abortion, Every Day

Republicans ban abortions and IVF

125 House Republicans including Speaker Mike Johnson back a ‘life at conception’ bill without any IVF exception.

The Alabama Supreme Court ruled that frozen embryos are “unborn children.” This Congress, 125 House Republicans — including Speaker Mike Johnson — have cosponsored the “Life at Conception Act,” which states that the term “human being” includes “all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization, cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being.”

The bill does not include any exception for in vitro fertilization (IVF), a reproductive treatment that allows mothers to fertilize several eggs outside the womb in order to increase the chances of a viable pregnancy.” — Business Insider

Alabama is a preview of Project 2025

“Highly organized people who successfully overthrew the oldest democracy in the world.” – HandMaid’s Tale

Leo is funding Project 2025, a scheme to overthrow American democracy to install a Christian dictatorship, just like Gilead from HandMaid’s Tale.

Leonard Leo, the wealthy neo-conservative Catholic puppet master. Leo has funded 60 of over 80 Project 2025 initial advisory groups, including over half the Advisory Board in 2022, using hard-to-track dark money. Leo’s world is a tight knit, overlapping network of friends, Christian Right activists, and GOP lawyers at The Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, Congress, and, unexpectedly, the Catholic sect Opus Dei. While Project 2025 represents a roadmap for autocracy – a future theocracy — it’s definitely a Leocracy. — Stop The Coup 2025
