Alabama attorney general says he has right to prosecute people who facilitate travel for out-of-stat

Will do. Thanks.

 

Don't project your beliefs on me. Dodge noted though.

 

And a pregancy can be prevented, rape victims are NOT FORCED to get pregnant.

Abortion for rape is ONE PERCENT of reasons for abortions do you think a MAJOR government policy and MAJOR societal policy should be based on just 1% of occurrences?

 

Define how you use the term pro-choice. If you mean pro-abortion without restrictions you are decidedly incorrect and incorrect about the population in general.

 

So you agree a state AG cannot charge someone with a crime for something that happens in another state?

 

To dems speaking out in opposition to excessive government interference in our lives, I agree with you, but this is a taste of your own medicine.

 

So you agree that a state AG cannot charge someone with a crime for something that happens in another state?

 

Correct.

 

This situation we are discussing has nothing to do with federal law. The abortion issue is a state issue. It was moved from a federal issue to the states where it belongs. So one state can't constitutionally criminalize someone for a taking part in a legal act in another state. Or---transporting people to conduct a legal act in another state.

 

The conspiracy to do it would be federal, the murder itself in the state it occurred.

Marshall the AG in Alabama

As far as jurisdictions under the law yes.

It is on a par with the taking of an innocent human life, it only becomes murder under the law if the law declares such a homicide illegal.

I am anti-abortion.....................

 

I agree here.


Just like California trying to tax people who flee, the ability of people to go to states that best preserves their needs must be protected.

 

And, you hit the key- anybody, everybody resents having other people's preferences imposed on them. Unfortunately, some of those people do not see anything wrong with imposing their views on others.

 

Not it no crime occurs in their state.

 

Wrong. The moment you cross a stateline it becomes federal (if pursued). This person would conspire in one state, cross statelines, and go to another state.

I'm not saying i like what is taking place, but its not uncharted territory.

 

What do you mean? If I rob you in California and the go to Arizona and rob someone can the DA in California charge me with a robbery in Arizona or any other state where I rob someone?

 

No. Now go ahead with the false comparison and I’ll tell you why you’re wrong.

 

No. Its not a federal crime to "conspire" to travel across state lines to legally purchase an abortion, liquor on a Sunday OR recreational marijuana. No crime is committed AT ALL by discussing, conspiring or transporting to cross state lines to purchase something legal. People are not trapped by the laws of their state residency when they visit other states. They can freely cross state lines and enjoy the perks of being in another state.

 

Wrong.

 

Not the issue. As I read it, he's not prosecuting the woman; he's prosecuting those that aid and abet her. Think of this. If a person bought a gun for someone he knew was going to commit a mass shooting in another state should he be prosecuted.

 

What's false about it? What is the legal distinction you are attemlting to make.

 

I thought you were going somewhere else.

 

They are aiding and abetting a woman to do a legal activity.......Which is in itself not a crime.

 

Nope. It's not illegal in Alabama where "the crime" was committed. That's the point.

 

which means no crime was committed by transporting her there

 

Wrong. Transporting her OUT OF ALABAMA is against Alabama law accord to this decision.
