Republicans are expected to win the House and Senate in the midterm elections, which would usher in a wave of new laws on crime and women’s rights.
Many states have instituted bans on abortion, healthcare, women’s rights, school books and voting rights – in part a result of Supreme Court decisions that have punted more legislative power to individual state lawmakers.
Donald Trump, a former president, is now advocating for the potential instantaneous execution of drug traffickers and human traffickers.
Bloodthirsty gangs and dangerous thugs run our streets under the radical left Democrats, he claimed.
“You go to China, you go to Singapore, and neither of those places have any kind of a drug problem. “We’ll go to the United States, it’s a much nicer place, the drug dealers say,” he continued.
“We must act.”
Republicans have also hinted at outlawing abortion nationwide in the wake of Roe v. Wade’s repeal earlier this year. That would probably not be popular with the majority of Americans, who, according to polling, support a woman’s right to make her own decisions.
Many candidates have avoided committing to a position on a federal ban – but in Georgia, a tight race between Democrats and Republicans, the Trump-endorsed candidate Herschel Walker has said he believes abortion should be outlawed.
Walker allegedly paid for two women’s abortions himself, but he has denied the accusations or declined to comment on them.
Republicans are on track to take control of the House and Senate, but until a new President is elected, they won’t be able to pass any legislation.
US President Joe Biden has already warned he’ll veto any extremist GOP draft legislation – including a ban on abortion..
In the US midterm elections, voting rights and abortion are at stake.
