We know what it’s like, we know what it’s done for our lives,” he said. said Fonda. “We won’t go back, I don’t care about the laws.

As critics blasted Fonda on social media, she attempted to clarify her remarks, saying, “While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious and extremely important issue to me, my comment on The View was obviously made joking,” according to Fox News.
Abortion laws and legal battles
Abortion has become a major issue following the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade last year. Since then, 13 states have enacted laws that broadly ban the procedure, including Georgia, which bans abortion at six weeks gestation. It has sparked legal battles across the country as advocates seek to block restrictive laws and expand abortion access. While some states are expected to attempt to enact additional bans or gestation limits, others have taken steps to strengthen legal protections for the procedure. Despite ongoing legal challenges, abortion remains legal in most of the country, and several states have enacted new protections since the Dobbs ruling.
