With the end of Roe, arcane, 50-year-old laws are suddenly coming into effect in situations that could have been avoided. One example is in Missouri. Salon reports, “Under an old Missouri law from 1973, a woman cannot get a divorce finalized if she is pregnant; she can file for divorce, but it won’t be finalized as long as she is pregnant. In 2022, abortion rights defenders are worried about the law’s ramifications now that Roe v. Wade has been overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court after 49 years. … According to Gordon, the Missouri law makes no exception for survivors of domestic violence.” Since all abortions are banned in Missouri, a wife becomes the captive property of an abusive husband. Fantastic! I just have to keep reminding myself that this is what Americans want. This is why they voted for traitor trump. Welcome to stupid America.
