THEY ARE WOMEN’S HEALTH CLINICS NOT ABORTION CLINICS

In September, Handy’s attorneys said they wanted to appeal her conviction to the Supreme Court and try to reverse the FACE Act. “Since the Dobbs decision that reversed Roe, there’s a very serious question about whether the federal government has any further interest in the abortion issue,” lawyer Martin Cannon of the right-wing Thomas More Society, told the Washington Examiner, “whether there’s any federal interest at stake that has to be protected under federal law, as opposed to just having the states enforce their own laws about trespass and disorderly conduct or even state FACE-like statutes.”

My stomach dropped reading this. Because of course this is next. It’s going to be sneaky and small especially if this isn’t an issue you are particularly sensitive to, but it is going to continue to grow. Roe was a massive blow. These are the aftershocks for the next one.
