Calling it 'hypocrisy' is missing the point.
that if women face fertility challenges as a result of being denied abortions under state law, they have no standing to challenge the law since they may never be pregnant again anyway.
If it were otherwise, the U.S. would have seen waves of legislation in support of pregnant people and children after the fall of Roe, especially in states like Texas where abortion is banned. But despite having had nearly 50 years to develop such policies and legislation while the anti-abortion movement worked to topple Roe, these “pro-life” politicians have done little to nothing, even in the dozens of state legislative sessions convened in the year since Dobbs.
What better proof could we ask for? Forcing a woman seven-months pregnant to stay at her guard post instead of allowing her to seek treatment for a miscarriage is not contrary to “pro-life” values; it is emblematic of them. Refusing to compensate a state employee for a pregnancy loss for which the state is culpable is not “pro-life” hypocrisy.
