It's not just abortion bans. Here's what other laws red states are passing.

Alabama's incredibly restrictive abortion ban has gotten a lot of attention in the past few weeks. Its attempts to ban sanctuary cities? Not so much.

Along with slightly less harsh restrictions in Georgia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio, Alabama passed a law earlier this month essentially banning abortion procedures outright. Yet anti-abortion laws are far from the only conservative ideals these states — which all have GOP governors and majority legislatures — are working toward, an analysis from FiveThirtyEight reveals.

One of the most common policies that "red-trifecta states" have in common are so-called "right to work" laws, which let workers for commonly unionized jobs avoid paying union dues. They're on the books in Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky, along with 17 other red states. Laws to ban any cities from becoming "sanctuary" jurisdictions have also been enacted in all those abortion-banning states, save for Ohio, along with seven others. A slew of GOP-dominated states have also passed or are working on concealed carry and pro-Israel laws, as well as Medicaid work requirements, FiveThirtyEight documents.
