Over 40 Prosecutors Refuse To Enforce New Anti-Abortion Laws

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Dozens of state and local prosecutors released a statement Friday vowing not to enforce extreme anti-abortion restrictions recently passed in their states.

“As elected prosecutors with charging discretion, we choose not to prosecute individuals pursuant to these deeply concerning laws,” reads the statement issued by Fair and Just Prosecution, an advocacy group whose members include local prosecutors.

The statement is signed by 42 elected officials, including 12 state attorneys general. The signers represent jurisdictions in 24 states, including Georgia, Alabama, Texas and Ohio, which are among those that have recently passed or proposed laws sharply restricting or outright banning abortion.

“To fulfill our obligations as prosecutors and ministers of justice, to preserve the integrity of the system and keep our communities safe and healthy, it is imperative that we use our discretion to decline to prosecute personal healthcare choices criminalized under such laws,” the statement says.

1. Good News!

2. Wow. I'm surprised by this.

There are still good people who understand what is happening. Not only that but they're willing to stand up for us. That's a pretty big deal to me.

A heartfelt thank you to all the professionals who are standing up and speaking out for women!!

3. My guess.

Those people were either elected officials in blue areas or red states, or AGs of blue states, or a democratic AG in a purple state or the rare red one like Kentucky.

Officials in red areas are likely overjoyed to convict women for exercising their rights.

All of us need to vote in every election.

4. Liberal payback...for all those AGs and DAs saying they wouldn't enforce gun regulations.

What? It works both ways?
