The article details how Senator Polsky is reintroducing certain bills in the legislature this year. They pertain expanding certain requirements under the 6-week abortion ban, not denying parental rights to parents who have medical marihuana cards, and having better restrictions surrounding firearm and ammunition purchases.
- The bill surrounding abortion would only make it necessary for pregnant individuals to go to one doctor appointment instead of two, and including “substantial impairment” of an individual’s fertility as a reason for getting an abortion. Sen. Polsky says that these changes while minor could be the difference between life and death for somebody.
- Additionally, the firearm safety regulations would include banning the manufacturing of ghost guns (guns that don’t have a serial number) and ensuring that buying a firearm comes with educational materials and ways of safely storing firearms.
