The abortion fight won’t be won from New York.
On May 7, Governor Brian Kemp of Georgia signed into law one of the most restrictive abortion bills in the country. If allowed to take effect, it will outlaw abortion once an ultrasound can detect electrical activity where a heart develops in an embryo; it’s known as a “fetal heartbeat” despite the technical absence, in many cases, of either a fetus or a heart. Not to be outdone, Governor Kay Ivey of Alabama signed an even more draconian bill on May 15. House Bill 314 more directly flouts the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision by reclassifying all abortions in Alabama as Class A felonies. Both bills accompany a slate of related legislation across the South and Midwest that seeks to force scotus to reconsider—and possibly overturn—Roe. And both are Republican projects in states that boast dismal health outcomes for mothers and newborns: Alabama has the sixth highest infant-mortality rate in the United States, while Georgia has the second-highest maternal-mortality rate.
