People—and the media—should be asking how states plan to enforce all their news laws forbidding travel and use of the Internet to order pills. The only way a state can prevent a pregnant woman from traveling to another state is to monitor her sex life, outlaw home pregnancy tests to force women to go to a clinic where their information will be reported to the state, and use location device monitoring from cellphones to arrest her the minute she crosses the state line. That is the life the religious right has now imposed on women of reproductive age.
