    Yeah we know he’ll try to ban abortion, he’ve been saying “I’ll call a referendum on the abortion laws” his whole campaign, that’s yet another reason why we(men and women) voted for him.

    Then why is he trying to force a bill now instead of calling a referendum?

      He can’t “force a bill”, the congress needs to approve it. A referendum/plebiscite would be an alternative route in case the congress does not approve(which is almost a guaranteed)

      Edit: apparently the bill you’re talking about was not made by him but by legislators of his party WITHOUT EVEN ASKING, there’s already conspiracy theories about this not being a “just fuck-up” but an intentional attempt to harm his image.
