The subject was much discussed at two national antiabortion conferences last weekend, with several lawmakers interested in introducing these kinds of bills in their own states. Catherine Glenn Foster, president of Americans United for Life, noted that people access medical procedures across state lines all the time. While some antiabortion groups aspire to push Congress to pass a national abortion ban, restricting movement across state lines would represent another step in limiting the number of abortions performed in the United States. Several Democrat-led states have passed legislation this year to counteract laws that try to restrict movement across state lines. Garland argued that the Constitution was unequivocal on the legality of crossing state lines for medical treatment.
