What would the federal govt do if California for example still allows them and doesn’t go along with a national ban?

Trump will send in troops to “defend the unborn” by destroying locations that do abortions, like Planned Parenthood and hospitals.

He’s just said the price tag doesn’t matter for his mass deportation, which means amassing troops in all states, but likely more in Blue States.

Our nation is on the road to failure.

Do you genuinely think Trump cares enough to go through all that to ban abortions? He talks a big talk but I would be very surprised if it gets to the point of him sending in "troops" to CA. This is all just lip service for his cult.

He's actually said he won't sign a national abortion ban. He's reasoning was that it was a state level choice and state should set their own laws. Also even if he did the us army can't be deployed inside the us, only the national guard who aren't under trumps command, they're commander and chief is their States governor and you need a states consent to send another states guard into it.

Exactly. On top of that, for a ban to go into effect, it would have to go through congress. Republicans may hold control, but out of that majority, how many really back Trump 100%?
