Apparently too concerned with oppressing everyone else to worry specifically about women, Trump has been conspicuously silent on abortion to date. Not so the great state of Texas, which is so firmly convinced of its awesomeness that it wants to rule the entire country. Texas is on the brink of passing another bounty hunter statute directed at the interstate sale and transportation of abortion pills. What happens after that?
Litigation, of course, followed by blue state refusals to recognize the judgments. In the end, the Supreme Court will decide if Texas has the power to regulate the mail and people and companies residing outside its boundaries. That decision will have a major impact on American federalism for years to come.
The new Texas law will be another piece of legislation reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Act, except that the Act was at least a federal statute. Imagine if, say, Alabama had imposed its will on the North on the slavery issue; that is what is going on here.
