Top Comments:

"No -   The mindset of  current legislators is to continue to delve into areas where decisions should be made only by patients and physicians.“

 

"No -   They are oblivious, and on a mission. They will continue to try to control women and their healthcare.“

 

"No -   They will never stop as their religion compels them.“

 

"No -  I don't think it will have any effect. Republicans walked back the IVF decision because most people that use IVF have money. It's a very expensive process. And the Republicans are much more comfortable taking away the rights of poor women and women of color. To the Republicans, those women are voiceless.“

 

 

"No -   I think DeSantis will continue to take rights away from people, especially women, LGBT and African-American“

 

"No -   This will slow their efforts, however, they will continue to push their agenda using verbiage designed to create confusion. All the reason for us to continue to educate and advocate for reproductive rights.“

 

“No -In and of itself, the Alabama case is nuts, but I don't think it will single handedly move the needle. However, combined with the insanity that the repubs just unleashed in Arizona, I think it should go a fair way toward making women - and men - realize just how out of touch the right wing is. Their desire for control, in this case over women, may well be their undoing.”

 

“No -  It won’t end the efforts, but it will motivate a lot of voters to stop it. Let’s hope that these voters vote for Biden."

 

“No - It might stop a personhood bill, but not the 6 week ban. I don’t think our very conservative legislature will not give in on their so call anti-abortion movement."

 

"Not sure - The Alabama ruling will surely motivate some women, but it's hard to say whether it will be enough.    Immigration is a big issue, and the Democrats need to hammer on what they're doing at the border, what they're doing for women's reproductive rights, and what they're doing about climate change.   These are issues that should bring Democrats and possibly some moderate Republicans to the polls."

 

"Yes – All red states usually follow each other. Just a matter of  when.“

 

 

"Yes - IVF appears to be a bridge too far, even for the crazy right wing trump supporters. We know because republicans in general are working overtime to back pedal on this issue."
