Connecticut Offers Refuge to Red State Women with a "Fugitive Woman Act"

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : Abortion is even free there: paid for by the Canada Health Act (also known as Canadian Medicare).
48% : The law even prevents state and local police and investigative agencies from cooperating with law enforcement investigations or prosecutions of abortion-related matters in any other state.
42% : It'd be a lot harder to get Canada to enforce a judgment or arrest and extradite a woman who got (or a family member who facilitated) an abortion because abortion is legal in Canada, at all stages of pregnancy, regardless of the reason.
38% : The law would guarantee girls and women from other states medical privacy, Connecticut's absolute refusal to enforce abortion-related judgements from other states, and an unwillingness to arrest and deport women or family members wanted for criminal abortion law violations in the 26 red Handmaid States that are passing or preparing to pass laws criminalizing abortion.
