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.

    If they enforce this law I think there will be a lot of lawsuits about unreasonable and illegal stops by the police, and I think the women suing will win.

    All good points. Unfortunately, this probably means they’ll stick to doing the unreasonable and illegal stops on people they think won’t be able to afford to bring lawsuits.

    Also, questions of ‘is this actually legal?’ have a fine way of becoming moot when the it’s cops doing the lawbreaking and who polices the police, right? Especially in states with long history of good-old-boys justice networks
