previously, abortion laws prevented doctors from performing them.
Women simply couldn’t get their health providers to give them one. I’m not sure what would have happened if they went with the ol’ rusty coathanger route. (remember folks, banning abortions doesn’t actually stop abortions. It just makes them substantially less safe.)
In any case, what they’re now trying to do is, lock women up who go get otherwise legal abortions out of state. For their next trick, they’ll bar women from having freedom of travel. so they can’t escape.
But that’s what I’m saying. Those are already laws in places like Texas. So why does the article/Snopes mention that putting women in prison isn’t a thing they say? Is a semantical issue that not ALL of them say it?
"DeSantis could have fairly said that the most prominent US anti-abortion groups have expressed opposition to the idea of jailing women for getting an abortion. "
which is more or less true. mainstream anti-abortion advocates still want to appear “reasonable”
they’re still trying to avoid saying the quiet part out loud. It’s only the far right christofascists that are openly saying they want to lock women up for an abortion. every one else is smart enough to keep their mouth shut.

The article blantantly says desantis is wrong.
It’s desantis whose saying no one is arguing for jail time. not cnn or snopes.
