This weeks topic is on abortion, specifically the abortion pill. In 1973, the US Supreme Court ruled in Roe v. Wade, that women have the right to an abortion. Prior to this case, abortion laws were on a state by state basis. Then in 2022, the US Supreme Court Case overturned the Roe case in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This decision pushed the abortion issue back to the states(see map below).
The new heated abortion issue in our country is the abortion pill. The abortion ill, which was ok'd in the US in 2000, now makes up 63% of all abortions in the US. Recently a doctor from New York, which allows abortions, sent the abortion pill to a woman in Texas, which does not allow abortions in most cases. The New York doctor has been fined over $100,000 by Texas. The same doctor is also in trouble with the State of Louisiana for a similar situation. Louisiana wants the doctor to be extradited from New York to Louisiana to face her crime but the Governor of New York is refusing to do so.
What are your thoughts on this situation?

I think that the doctor should face the crimes in both Louisiana and Texas. I think that she should have recognizes and acknowledged the state law of both Louisiana and Texas. I think that her decision to provide abortion pills where they are illegal is completely wrong. I think that if the doctor were to supply the pills in her home state of New York, where it's legal, then she wouldn't have to face any criminal consequences. Overall I think she should be charged and eventually convicted of her crimes of supplying the pills to Louisiana and Texas, I think she recognized the risks but still gave them the pills.
I believe that having an abortion is wrong. If you didn't want to have a kid then you should have thought about that before you did what you did. It would be taking away someone’s life. There is some exceptions thought just in case you couldn’t control it like rape. But it is still wrong.
I think that if you were in a state long enough where you became living there then it would be fine if it was legal in that state. But obviously if it is not legal in the state then no and she should face jail time. If you just travel to a state where it is legal and come back right after then I think that it should not be allowed and there shall be consequences.
