Yes, Trump is entirely to blame for whatever anti-abortion laws red states will enact and pass. He can't wriggle his way out of this one! And, here's hoping that the Dems make hash of Trump for his Supreme Court appointments who made these laws possible.

Perhaps the Arizona legislature should mandate vasectomies for all men who run for office. That would certainly give women a better chance at reproductive rights.

It's an all-out war against women.

Abortion, IVF, surrogacy, birth control, maternal leave, child tax credits.

It's all on the line in November. I hope this country wakes up.

The cruelty, misogyny and shamelessness of the republican party is on par with its cult leader, Trump.

Despite their empty, meaningless rhetoric of "pro-life", republicans are anything but truly caring for life as their actions have repeatedly demonstrated.

Let's hope women remember their callousness and cruelty in November, and send them packing.

Um, Trump is not responsible. He's irresponsible, which is worse.

Why do we say "pro-life," anyway? That's THEIR terminology, and it's a lie.

They're pro-BIRTH; by their lights, once a kid is born it can go summarily to Hell.

Jus' sayin'.

It's time to start challenging some of the worst of these laws as 'cruel and unusual punishment'. Forcing a woman to raise a child who was created by rape or incest, jaailing or taking away a doctor's license because of a vaguely written law, preventing life saving intervention when the mother's life is at risk. Etc.

Prof. Reich: How can a law be held sacrosanct in an area (now a State) -- before it was a State.

What are the boundaries of jurisdiction?

Just shoot me. I hate these men who won’t even take care of a child not there’s.

Overturning Roe which is directly related to Trump picking Federal Society judges that were committed to be anti abortion rights judges. Hopefully this will doom Trump and a lot of Republicans in this November election to be defeated.

The good news is that women and men have gathered over 500,000 signatures to put abortion rights on the November ballot. Arizona should be long to the Democrats and Joe Biden now.

And now we know how far back in time they want to send women. 1864 at a minimum.

Wow. Back to the middle ages. Most women are going vote against anyone who supports this law. They need to get something on the ballot to stop this egregious law. Mr. Reich, I don't know how you find the time to keep us informed, but thank you.

Does anyone notice the insanity of having every state have a different rule? We can’t all pack up and move to a state that we like better. Nor should we have to.
