G.O.G Posted August 1, 2017 Posted August 1, 2017 Following the presidential election victory of President Donald Trump, sectors opposed to abortion gained space in the United States, and only this year 50 new restrictions on access to abortion were approved, The Hill said. The digital portal indicated that in addition to the imposition of new measures that limit this practice, in several territories the waiting periods and consent rules necessary to carry it out were extended. "We see an intense level of activity around abortion restrictions," said Elizabeth Nash, director of state programs at the Guttmacher Institute, who supports the rights to access abortion. As examples of that statement, the site said that this week the Texas Senate endorsed two new rules aimed at reducing the number of abortions performed in the territory. One of them forces the practicing doctors to report any complications to the state health commission; And the other establishes that they must report on the minors they attend. Meanwhile, in Missouri, lawmakers signed a measure Tuesday that would require doctors to detail possible medical complications for women three days before undergoing an abortion. Such a bill would also allow the Attorney General of Missouri to prosecute any violation of state abortion laws, when only local prosecutors are now allowed to file charges. These initiatives, which have yet to pass through other processes before their final ratification, join those of legislative organs of other Republican states that have passed similar measures in recent months, The Hill said. Lawmakers in Ohio, Iowa, South Dakota and Montana passed new laws that prohibit abortions after 20 weeks, while Tennessee gave similar green light to a different format, and similar projects are expected next year in Virginia and Missouri. According to Nash, in the last four years there have been efforts to introduce regulations that protect access to abortion, but they do not receive the same level of attention as those intended to block abortion.
