You got it, Kutulu. You can debate the pros and cons of not allowing minors to go out of state to have an abortion or parental consent all you want, that's democracy and everyone is entitled to an opinion, but to do so in the context of this thread is a red herring. This is about Republicans lying because they didn't like that they had to actually follow the normal progression toward getting a law passed.
