The Spin

Left narrative

This bill would've targeted some of the state's most vulnerable, and lead to devastating consequences reaching far beyond women's rights; it would've called on judges and law enforcement to simply ignore federal rulings, violating the separation of powers principles.

Right narrative

Nobody should be denied equal protection under the law - including unborn babies. The proposed legislation would've accomplished this and protected the most vulnerable; the resistance by even some supposed "pro-life" legislators is disconcerting.
