They should not be able to be charged in the US for something that didn't happen in the US.
@LovinLarge Law is not composed of shoulds. Only should nots.
@rainmanjr False. Many laws are permissive not prohibitive, although in this case I indeed said "should not".
@LovinLarge Okay. You go with that for the con Judge from an abortion state.
@rainmanjr That's why I used the phrase "should not". If precedent loses its legal significance, with conservatives willing to lie, cheat and steal to have their way there will be no predicting the future. The only chance we had was for Biden to step up to the plate and that hasn't happened.
Well of course. The Handmaid's Tale was written by a Canadian author, Margaret Atwood, and in the novel Americans, esp. women of childbearing age, were fleeing to Canada for freedom, the same as runaway slaves from the South before the Civil War. It's not much different, being a slave or a woman treated as a breeding mare by the state, you cannot be free in any state or nation that controls your body.
