Rachel Maddow reports on a letter signed by 19 Republican state attorneys general objecting to a proposed HHS rule that would protect the privacy of residents of their states seeking reproductive healthcare in other states with greater reproductive freedom, and possibly threaten the ability of Republicans to target Americans seeking out-of-state trans healthcare.

    Typical GOP hypocrisy: they want states’ rights for their states to support and advance bigotry, voter suppression and other heinous bullshit, but not for other states to respect a woman’s bodily autonomy 🤦

      States Rights had always been a smoke screen.

      Even during the Civil War Southern States were trying to implement laws that gave them power over other states to give slaves.

      States Rights had always been right wing propaganda designed to hide their true motive. Same a “protect the children.” Same as a racist hiding behind “free speech.”
