New ordinances would ban driving through cities and counties en route to abortion care

The latest strategy engineered by the Right to Life group comes amid growing frustrations about the number of women who are going out of state for an abortion.

Yup, boarder towns in red states are going to start stopping women as they travel through their towns to make sure they aren’t pregnant.

      Better comparison is

      Weed smokers don’t get charged for driving across state lines to buy and smoke pot in a legal state.

      Because that is already a federal crime.

      Other crimes do rack up more charges when crossing state lines. Because a crime can violate a local law, but then violate federal law by crossing state lines. Bank robbery is already a federal crime.

        You don’t think prosecutors add charges when someone commits a crime? Why do you think Trump is being charged with multiple things?

        I have never heard of the charge of ‘driving to a crime’ being added.

        But feel free to show that driving to a bank robbery is a federal crime. I would like to see that law please.
