Right Campaigns to End Abortion in America the weekly newspaper of the New Anticapitalist Party (NPA) of France. The Republican Party is engaged in a massive political campaign to take away women’s right to abortion. Because abortion is currently protected by the U.S. Supreme Court case Roe v. Wade, Republicans have for several years been passing state laws to restrict abortions. They have passed 90 such laws in the past year and have introduced another 561 bills in 47 states this year. Five states have banned abortions when there is a fetal heartbeat at six weeks into pregnancy, others restrict who can perform an abortion or restrict abortion clinics. Some would ban abortion altogether. Some of these bills would give rights to the fetus, would ban in vitro fertilization, or stop medical research that uses fetal tissue.
