Los Angeles County’s Board of Supervisors voted for a one-year ban on official travel to Alabama after state’s controversial abortion law.
Supervisor Hilda L. Solis, who co-authored the motion with Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, called the law an “attack not only confined to the residents of those states but an act of aggression upon all of us.”
“We must stand in solidarity and in opposition against extremist and unconstitutional laws that put the health and wellbeing of families at risk,” Solis says.
“The constitutional and human right to safe and legal abortion is part of the very fabric of the United States. As such, Los Angeles County will stand against all attempts to dismantle the protections afforded by Roe v. Wade and the U.S.
Constitution.”
Solis proudly says that the travel restriction “sends a strong signal that infringing upon an individual’s rights to reproductive health and privacy are not American values.”
Solis explains about the ban, Los Angeles County officials can travel to Alabama on county business in cases of “emergency response, training, or assistance, or other legally-required matters where the failure to authorize such travel would seriously harm the County’s interests.”
Letters from Los Angeles County sent to Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, a woman, demands the law should be overturned. Similar letters will be sent to leaders in states like Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, and Utah.
“There is no ‘right to abortion’ in the Constitution,” Shapiro wrote (Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro).
“The founders would have been appalled by such a statement. The Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade (1973) is a legal monstrosity by every available metric: As legal scholar John Hart Ely wrote, Roe ‘is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be.
”
Many actors and actresses threatening to boycott the state of Georgia after The Los Angeles travel ban on Alabama, for a recently passed bill that essentially bans abortions of unborn babies once doctors detect a heartbeat in the mother’s womb. But, still, there is no sign to overturn the laws by the governors of either state.
