Aside from the many,
many moral objections this bill raises, how the f*ck does the South Carolina government even expect to enforce laws like this outside its borders? What happens if (and probably when!) more liberal states explicitly and legally allow abortions within their borders? If abortions become criminal in one state but legal in another, and the woman and anyone else who could be prosecuted decide to stay in the more liberal state, wouldn't the abortion-restricting state be SOL in trying to prosecute them?
If the abortion-restricting states tried getting around this, wouldn't it be a gross violation of states' rights if they tried to somehow enforce their abortion restrictions outside their own borders?
Same situation with California and Net Neutrality. Or even California and car mileage standards. Most everyone obeys California law, because there is a chance they want market in California.
The opposite with South Carolina I suppose. No one gives a shit if they boycott a product or service. Assuming they could even argue it was constitutional. Which is what I was alluding to, when states scream about the constitutionality of one thing, while violating it in another.
Which is why I liked Beau bringing up the 9th Amendment there. ^^
