they might be able to punish them or anyone who helped them. Red states would obviously need to establish a police state tracking everything women do so they know who is pregnant. If all records of positive pregnancy test results are sent to the state, it’s an easy matter to follow up a few months later to see who has a baby and who doesn’t.

I don’t think many people have thought about just how invasive red states would need to be to enforce the laws they passing.
