I think the sex and race selection bans are particularly scary because they begin a slippery slope of legislating away women’s reason for choosing abortion. Women and their doctors need to protect their precious patient privacy from intruding politicians who want to unconstitutionally narrow the grounds for seeking abortion.

#1: these bans are NOT the way to stop racism or sexism

#2: what’s next? a 35-page questionnaire that requires doctors to ask women all sorts of questions about why they’re seeking abortions for fear that they’ll be prosecuted by the state if they fail to do so?
