'It's more aligned with the kind of orthodoxy we have not seen in terms of religion since the Salem Witch Trials.'

"It's not just about abortion. It's about all these other spaces of controlling a person's reproductive health, their well-being and constraining them to a particular point of view which is not consistent with the United States Constitution," Michele Bratcher Goodwin, the chancellor's law professor at the University of California, Irvine, told ABC News.

That's why people can bring a civil suit in a wrongful-murder situation for instance," he added. published last month in the New York Times, Noll and Michaels argued that the laws are deputizing private individuals to wage a"seemingly endless battle to deny disfavored groups equal citizenship."David Noll, a professor at Rutgers University Law School, has been tracking GOP-backed legislation aimed at creating vigilantes to enforce what he called"rights-suppressing laws."

"The preamble of the Constitution says the reason why we do all these things is to secure the blessing of liberty for whom? For ourselves and our posterity, those yet to be born," Bomberger told ABC News."So, it’s deeply constitutional to protect our posterity."
