Baz Luhrmann’s <em>Elvis</em> isn’t merely a confounding movie. It provokes a very particular kind of bafflement: You know you’ve watched a whole big spangly movie about a very famous guy, but you’re not exactly sure why.

One could say the reason is simply that its ostensible subject is, well, Elvis. <em>The</em> Elvis. The King. Everybody loves Elvis, or at least knows his songs. Of course he deserves a movie.

But the musician biopic — like its cousins, the historical figure biopic and the based-on-a-true-story drama — needs more than just a set of facts and a bunch of built-in fans to justify its existence. To put it in terms used by nonfiction writers, the events of Elvis’s life are merely the situation; what a good movie tries to do is find the story inside that situation. <a href="https://www.vox.com/22617232/respect-aretha-franklin-movie-review-hudson">As I wrote last year</a>, “That many rockers and singers have similar life stories isn’t surprising; what’s frustrating is the tendency to put a person’s true-life events in chronological order and assume that it makes a good story.” A great biopic doesn’t just remind us of what happened in someone’s life and the order in which it all happened. It provides new insight into its subject or uses them as a way to touch on bigger themes.

Makers of musician movies have been trying to figure out how to do this for a while, with some success. The deeply weird and wonderful 2007 Bob Dylan film <em>I’m Not There</em> explores its subject’s many personas by casting six different actors (including Cate Blanchett and young Black actor Marcus Carl Franklin) as the singer. <a href="https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/5/17/18628983/rocketman-review-elton-john-cannes-taron-egerton"><em>Rocketman</em></a>, the 2019 Elton John movie, is at its heart a story about how friendship can save us from our worst demons. My favorite, the 2014 movie <em>Love and Mercy, </em>about Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys, delves into the ways youthful trauma persists into the present; it accomplished this by flipping back and forth through time, with John Cusack and Paul Dano portraying Wilson in different eras.

All three succeed by breaking out of the trope-laden mold skewered by the (terrific) 2007 satire <em>Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story</em>, which in turn was mostly lampooning the (very good) 2005 Oscar-winning Johnny Cash movie <em>Walk the Line</em>. <em>Rocketman</em>, in particular, manages to be great precisely because it disregards the slavish devotion to chronology of some biographical movies. Instead of being a movie about Elton John’s life, it’s a jukebox musical about him, songs thrown willy-nilly into the story wherever they fit the narrative, instead of being forced to appear only in the periods in which he’s written them.

When <em>Elvis</em> succeeds, it’s for two reasons. The greatest is that Austin Butler, who plays The King, is spectacular in the role: electric, vulnerable, innocent, seductive, and everything else he needs to be to capture the appeal of the man who rocked America to its core. (He sings all of Elvis’s early music himself; for Presley’s later years, their voices are blended together.) You might leave <em>Elvis</em> scratching your head, but not about what made its subject so magnetic.

The other reason is that, in typical Luhrmann style, <em>Elvis</em> is propelled forward — almost maniacally so — by Presley’s music, both in performance and <a href="https://variety.com/2022/music/news/elvis-soundtrack-music-complete-guide-who-sings-what-1235297605/">as covers from contemporary artists</a> ranging from Eminem and Stevie Nicks to Doja Cat and Kacey Musgraves. Often they’re used in the style of a stage musical, as when Presley, not yet aware he’s been signed by his manager to a five-year Las Vegas contract, is performing “Suspicious Minds” on stage in the same room. “I’m caught in a trap / I can’t walk out / Because I love you …” he croons, over and over, in a very literal description of what’s actually happening.

|
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="5a0r5v">
|
|||
|
|
The relentless music makes the whole thing feel like a montage, and it gets exhausting after a while; I saw it twice and my head was pounding by the end both times. But it’s infectious. As with <em>Rocketman</em>, Presley’s music is part of the storytelling, not merely an excuse to groove in your seat to some familiar tunes.

Still, weird choices were made in this film. Presley’s conniving manager, the expert “snowman” (a.k.a. con man) Col. Tom Parker, played by a prostheticized Tom Hanks, is also the narrator of the story. After Presley’s death, he was revealed to have bilked the singer out of huge portions of his money, though he insists to us that he earned every bit of it, that we wouldn’t even have Elvis Presley if it weren’t for him. Which, in a sense, might be true.

|
|||
|
|
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="pI5ZYr">
|
|||
|
|
That makes Parker, not Presley, the deliberate framing device for the movie. We’d hope that Parker’s viewpoint would furnish a new or useful angle for this look into Presley’s life and, perhaps, for his perspective to be unreliable. He is, after all, a liar.

But his story keeps tripping over its toes. I’m not really sure what Parker is doing in the narrator’s seat. He only brings to it a cynical tone, perhaps inadvertently but not at all incorrectly. <em>Elvis</em> sometimes zeroes in on the rise of American celebrity (with its merchandising, its corporate sponsorship, its raving and toxic fans) and how it wrings real people dry. Parker’s main genius was in finding ways to leverage Elvis’s image and notoriety for money — selling, for instance, “I Hate Elvis” buttons, because if you’re going to have haters, you might as well monetize them.

|
|||
|
|
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="svSLhI">

Parker contends repeatedly to us in the audience — he addresses “you” repeatedly, he’s talking to me and you — that we are the problem. We wanted more Elvis. We wanted a particular Elvis. We lusted after him. He needed our lust, our love, and that’s what drove him to an early grave.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="e1jlOg">
|
|||
|
|
That’s a strong theme, but it’s muddled in its execution. For one, the moments we become aware that Parker is a bit of an unreliable narrator are when the movie shows him doing what he accuses us of doing: wanting to squeeze every drop of cash out of Elvis, making him feel loved so he’ll give him what he wants, and, at times, looking at him with a look of undisguised lust (even if it’s money lust). That blunts the edge of the point he’s apparently trying to make — not that he seems to care.

But our narrator often disappears for long stretches — a relief, since we can focus on Butler’s spectacular performance, but confusing in the scheme of the movie. And the film constantly elides basic biographical details about its title subject’s life, from which movies he starred in to Priscilla Presley’s extreme youth when they first got together to how things went wrong in various aspects of his career, especially toward the end. It’s not necessary to cram them all in, but if you’re going to blow through big gaps in the tale, it should be to further the grand narrative, and it’s not clear this movie does.

More importantly, other themes resurface pointedly and without a lot of structural logic. Parker is a traditionalist, a man who hates those “long-hair” hippies that protest wars and make social statements; Presley is a soft-hearted man who’s aware of his music’s roots in the Black culture he grew up around and mourns when Martin Luther King Jr. is assassinated. (Presley’s use of Black styles and songs, which morphed into global hits mostly because he was white, is a prominent feature in the movie, though this movie isn’t out to examine it too closely.) The battle of generations in rock ’n’ roll becomes a theme, as does the complicated interweaving of cultures in America that goes on today; refer, once again, to the list of artists contributing to the soundtrack.

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="6gCJUt">

But through it all, Elvis himself remains a somewhat opaque figure, and the movie’s greatest weakness is that, behind the voice and the gyrating pelvis and the spangles and the sweat, it isn’t all that interested in him. There’s no great insight into his life to be found. <em>Elvis</em> feeds into the phenomenon it points to: He’s mostly an icon, a face, a thing to be admired and lusted after, and not really much of a human being.
|
|||

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="6NxZSp">
|

|
|
And yet, it’s worth putting <em>Elvis</em>, the movie, into that slowly growing list of musician biopics that try in some way to buck the long history of ploddingly literal, chronology-driven historical storytelling. The thing about well-worn tropes is that we can get too used to them, too reliant upon them. The musician biopic isn’t even a genre — you could make one that’s a drama, or a comedy, or a mystery, or even horror, as <em>Elvis</em> sometimes seems to be — but it feels like one because of the tired old story beats involved.
|
|||
|
|
</p>
|
|||
|
|
<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="DN0RnT">
|
|||
|
|
So unsettling those tropes, placing the biography into a new setting and using the music in innovative ways, is a bold and wise move for a filmmaker who wants to make waves. Luhrmann has never shied away from making those bold choices. He even bedazzles the Warner Bros. logo that introduces the film, then brings us into the story with operatic musical cues that feel stolen from Wagner.
|

|

<p data-aos="fade-left" data-aos-anchor-placement="bottom-bottom" id="MNBoLv">

With <em>Elvis</em>, though, he hasn’t found the heart of the story, distracted by the shiny objects everywhere and the need to generate spectacle. In its better moments, this tendency is exactly what his movie deplores, or at least sees as inhumane. Elvis Presley deserves a great biographical film that imagines his life through a lens as revolutionary and shocking as he was. <em>Elvis </em>isn’t it. But The King will endure to see another day.

On Friday, the US Supreme Court <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/6/24/23176750/supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-read-dobbs-decision-text">struck down <em>Roe v. Wade</em></a>, the legal decision that has for decades granted Americans the right to an abortion.

For young people, the prospect of dramatically reduced access to abortion creates enormous uncertainty — not only about their options in the event of an unplanned pregnancy, but because the political movement that brought us the end of <em>Roe</em> is also seeking, in many cases, to limit quality sex education overall.

I reached out to three sex educators to hear what they want all of us — not just young people — to remember as we head into a post-<em>Roe</em> future. Their responses fell into two categories: concerns about the overlap between the political movements to restrict abortion and sexual literacy, and advice for people who think they might one day need an abortion.

First, let’s be clear that what we mean when we talk about <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/article/2020/02/expanding-scope-sex-education-and-teen-pregnancy-prevention-program-work-progress">comprehensive sex education</a> is sex ed that hinges on a deep understanding of physical and sexual autonomy. This type of sex ed helps <a href="https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2113144119">prevent teen pregnancy</a> <a href="https://www.acog.org/clinical/clinical-guidance/committee-opinion/articles/2016/11/comprehensive-sexuality-education#:~:text=Effective%20Programs,-Data%20have%20shown&text=Although%20formal%20sex%20education%20varies,STIs%2C%20and%20adolescent%20pregnancy%2011.">and sexually transmitted infections</a>, in contrast with the abstinence-focused “sexual risk avoidance” programs that <a href="https://www.jahonline.org/article/S1054-139X(17)30260-4/fulltext">do not</a>. The educators I spoke with are all proponents and teachers of comprehensive sex education.

Many of the educators I spoke with see the assault on abortion access as part of a much broader, long-term strategy geared toward consolidating white male power. That strategy also includes <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/3/20/22987539/anti-trans-anti-abortion-laws-texas-florida-idaho">anti-trans legislation</a>, <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/22914767/book-banning-crt-school-boards-republicans">book bans</a>, and <a href="https://www.vox.com/2016/1/10/10738766/sex-ed-states-maps">efforts to do away with medically accurate sex education</a>, said Michelle Slaybaugh, a former school sex educator who directs social impact and communications at <a href="https://siecus.org/about-siecus/">SIECUS</a>, a nonprofit comprehensive sex ed advocacy organization.

All of those movements have something in common, said Slaybaugh: “It’s about controlling women’s bodies,” she said. “When you don’t know about your body, you cannot make decisions that will allow you opportunities to advance.”

Opponents of a proposal to make changes to the sex education guidance for teachers in California rally at the state capitol in Sacramento in May 2019. The California State Board of Education was voting on new, non-mandatory guidance for teaching sex education in public schools, which would give teachers ideas about how to teach a wide range of health topics including speaking to children about gender identity.

In contrast to “sexual risk avoidance” education, which focuses on sexual abstinence as prevention, comprehensive sex education is medically accurate, inclusive of diverse sexual orientations and gender identities, and focused on giving learners a sense of autonomy — that their bodies and behaviors are under their control. While the more comprehensive approach is proven to reduce teen pregnancy, it <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/sex-and-hiv-education">isn’t a requirement in most states</a>. (According to SIECUS, only <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/sex-and-hiv-education">11 states</a> mandate school-based sex education and<em> </em>require that it be medically accurate when taught. That said, there are a lot of ways sex ed can be categorized — <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/sex-and-hiv-education">see this chart</a> — and overall, the sex education picture in the US is an inconsistent patchwork.)

Where good sex education does exist, it often faces attacks. In 2021, state legislators across the US proposed <a href="http://chrome-extension//efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://siecus.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/2022-State-of-Sex-Education-Legislative-Look-Ahead.pdf">23 bills seeking to restrict sex education</a>, by requiring an emphasis on abstinence-only programming, making the content “opt-in,” or in other ways.<strong> </strong>The political reality is that political movements that denounce abortion also denounce comprehensive sex ed: States that restrict comprehensive sex ed are <a href="https://www.the74million.org/article/half-of-states-set-to-ban-abortions-have-no-sex-ed-requirements/">more likely</a> to also restrict abortion.

Although some conservative lawmakers are working hard to get abstinence-only messaging into school health classes, they may be out of step with even conservative voters in right-leaning states, who have historically favored comprehensive, medically accurate sex education.

In a 2018 survey from the Public Religion Research Institute, more than half of Republicans surveyed <a href="https://www.prri.org/research/young-people-set-to-impact-the-debate-on-womens-health-issues/">agreed</a> that comprehensive sex education is more effective than abstinence-focused education at lowering youth rates of unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. Two separate polls conducted in 2013 showed that 90 percent of residents in deeply red <a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/15546128.2017.1359803?journalCode=wajs20">South Carolina</a> supported comprehensive sex education, and in <a href="http://www.shiftnc.org/news-and-publications/research-and-publications/parent-poll-shows-bipartisan-support-for-sex-education-pregnancy-prevention">North Carolina</a>, 72 percent of parents favored teaching students about birth control.

But on these bills, too, right-leaning elected officials may be more conservative than their own constituents. Nationally, <a href="https://morningconsult.com/2022/05/23/lgbtq-classroom-politics/">parents — even conservative ones — are split</a> on support for this kind of legislation: In a recent Morning Consult poll of parents, one-quarter of Republicans supported teaching about sexual orientation and gender identity. Meanwhile, 58 percent of Democrats and 38 percent of independents favored teaching on these issues in schools.

In places where public schools provide comprehensive sex education, <a href="https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2022/february/federally-funded-sex-education-programs-linked-to-decline-in-tee.html">teen pregnancy rates are significantly lower</a> than in places where they don’t. And while after-school programs may fill <a href="https://www.advocatesforyouth.org/resources/fact-sheets/sexuality-education-2/">some of the gaps</a> in districts where public schools are restricted from providing comprehensive sex education, these programs generally require students and parents to opt in. That raises the possibility that the lowest-income kids — who arguably <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3348397/">benefit most from in-school programming</a> — will get left out.

In the long term, broader access to high-quality sex education is what young people need to make the best decisions for their health and their future. However, <a href="https://www.guttmacher.org/state-policy/explore/sex-and-hiv-education">the quality and content of sex education isn’t held to a national standard</a>.

As much as sex education has suffered already, Julia Feldman-DeCoudreaux, an Oakland, California-based school sex educator,<strong> </strong>fears that it will suffer even more now that anti-abortion activists are seeing wins. That would leave a lot of young people with big deficits in pregnancy prevention skills — and without access to resources for dealing with the consequences of those deficits, she said. “If that happens, we’re going to have a catastrophic situation.”

That’s why Hanne Blank Boyd, a women’s and gender studies professor at Denison University in Granville, Ohio, has her students make a list of ways to have sex that can’t get you pregnant. These discussions start out awkward, she said, but it’s worth it to ensure “their definition of what sex is is expansive enough that they know that they have sexual options that are not potentially procreative.”

Feldman-DeCoudreaux said she’ll be encouraging people to use long-acting reversible methods of contraception like <a href="https://www.scarleteen.com/birth_control_bingo_intrauterine_devices_iud#:~:text=The%20What%2C%20the%20Why%2C%20the,in%20the%20uterus%20until%20removed.">IUDs</a> and <a href="https://www.scarleteen.com/birth_control_bingo_the_contraceptive_implant">implantable contraception</a>. “The failure rate is a lot lower than just things like condoms,” she said.

Although it’s impossible for people to predict how they’ll feel in the event of an unplanned pregnancy, it may become particularly helpful to think through the logistics of obtaining an abortion in advance of needing one.

If contraception does fail or isn’t used, Feldman-DeCoudreaux also expects availability for abortion appointments will tighten as the number of providers falls. She therefore plans to advise people to make plans for an abortion faster than they might have previously. “The windows of opportunity for unmedicated abortions or surgical abortions are going to be a little bit pushed up,” she said, “because of a congested system.”

These days, most abortions happen in the comfort of a person’s home — something many young people don’t realize, said Feldman-DeCoudreaux. “In their minds, it involves going into a clinic, and it involves your legs in the stirrups, and involves something maybe painful or gruesome,” she said.

Preconceptions involving stirrups and pain make legal abortion seem unsafe, when it is in fact far safer than carrying and delivering a pregnancy, especially for Americans. In the US, 17 birthing parents die for every 100,000 babies born — <a href="https://www.commonwealthfund.org/publications/issue-briefs/2020/nov/maternal-mortality-maternity-care-us-compared-10-countries">more than twice as many</a> as in other high-income countries. Meanwhile, legal abortions, including medication abortions, are <a href="https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/ss/ss7009a1.htm#T15_down">extremely safe</a>, with only 0.4 deaths for every 100,000 abortions performed between 2013 and 2018.

Boyd says it’s important for her students to understand that rights are not the same things as laws. That is, regulating abortion isn’t what determines whether you have an innate right to decide on your own terms to continue or end a pregnancy.

She also reminds her students that abortion was not always illegal or even controversial in the US, and that other religions and countries regulate abortion very differently than the US does. It’s all part of helping them understand how the fight over abortion fits into our particular place and time, she said: “Don’t ever assume that the way it is in this moment is the way it has to be.”

With the <a href="https://www.vox.com/2022/5/3/23055125/roe-v-wade-abortion-rights-supreme-court-dobbs-v-jackson">Supreme Court’s opinion on <em>Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization</em></a> issued this week, people who are able to become pregnant are now left wondering how the ruling may affect abortion-related legislation in their home state. In some states, abortion was made almost entirely illegal immediately following the Court’s decision on Friday thanks to special statutes known as “trigger laws.”

In anticipation of <em>Roe v. Wade’s</em> reversal, more than a dozen Republican-controlled states created trigger laws. These laws put in place anti-abortion policies that may have been unconstitutional under <em>Roe</em> and are “triggered” by any federal law or Supreme Court ruling overturning <em>Roe</em>.

Beyond health or medical risks, there are few exceptions where these anti-abortion laws do not apply, like in cases where the pregnancy would put the individual’s life in jeopardy, or in cases of rape or incest. But many states with those exceptions require the individual to report their case to law enforcement in order to meet the requirements for the exemption.

Some states have trigger laws that will not go into effect unless certain conditions are met, like requiring a state’s chief prosecutor to sign off on a certification of the court’s decision. Other trigger laws simply don’t take effect immediately but will soon be enforced — in some states in as little as five<strong> </strong>days’ time.

Several other states without trigger statutes are expected to reinstate old anti-abortion laws as well, though those are likely to face legal challenges from abortion rights advocates.

Which states have trigger laws on near-total abortion bans?

Three states — Kentucky, Louisiana, and South Dakota — had statutes already on the books that allowed for complete or near-complete bans on abortion to take effect immediately following the Supreme Court’s overturning of <em>Roe v. Wade</em>. None of these states make an exception for abortion in cases of rape or incest. Six other states with trigger laws have also had their complete or near-complete bans on abortion swiftly implemented. There are a total of 13 states with trigger laws, though their scopes vary and so do their implementation.

<s></s><s></s>In Alabama, a judge lifted an injunction on Friday that allowed the state’s 2019 law banning abortion to become legal. In Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, the trigger laws became active after the Supreme Court’s decision was certified by the respective states’ attorneys general. Many Republican officials hailed the Supreme Court’s decision as a celebratory milestone for so-called pro-life conservatives. Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, who was the first AG to sign such a certification in the wake of the <em>Dobbs</em> ruling, rejoiced in the opportunity.

Complete or near-complete abortion bans in other trigger law states are expected to take effect within a certain period (typically within 30 days) after actions from state officials. <a href="https://mississippitoday.org/2022/06/24/what-does-abortion-look-like-in-mississippi-now/">Mississippi</a>, another trigger law state where the court’s decision needs to be certified by the attorney general, has a shorter grace period, with its law taking effect just 10 days after certification. In <a href="https://www.inforum.com/news/north-dakota/abortion-to-become-illegal-in-north-dakota-following-supreme-court-decision">North Dakota</a>, anti-abortion laws will take effect immediately after the state’s attorney general signs off on it. North Dakota AG Drew Wrigley has 30 days to do so but said his office <a href="https://attorneygeneral.nd.gov/news/statement-attorney-general-drew-wrigley">is reviewing</a> the <em>Dobbs</em> decision. In <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/2022/06/24/abortion-roe-v-wade-decision-tennessee-impact/7609723001/">Tennessee</a>, anti-abortion laws will take effect 30 days after the court’s decision, with the lone exception being the risk of death or permanent disability.

Texas’s trigger law <a href="https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/roe-v-wade-abortion-scotus-supreme-court-ruling-texas-trigger-law-explainer/287-75949629-4a17-4b50-9cea-0810cc5bef69">will take effect 30 days after the court issues a judgment</a>, not just an opinion. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton clarified that the official judgment should be issued after an appropriate period in which any appeals can be filed. The state already had a law banning abortions after six weeks except to save the life of the pregnant person, which took effect in September 2021.

Wyoming and Utah are also trigger law states with anti-abortion legislation ready to be reactivated. Wyoming’s trigger law <a href="https://www.wyomingnews.com/laramieboomerang/news/landmark-decision-wyoming-on-path-for-trigger-abortion-ban-with-reversal-of-roe-v-wade/article_5b76bf28-18d8-5663-ac97-265757948745.html">will take effect five days after the court decision is certified by the state’s governor</a>, Mark Gordon, who <a href="https://oilcity.news/wyoming/2022/06/24/governor-gordon-praises-supreme-court-decision-overturning-roe/">described</a> the Supreme Court’s <em>Dobbs </em>ruling as “a decisive win for those who have fought for the rights of the unborn for the past 50 years.”<strong> </strong>In Utah, the trigger law took effect <a href="https://www.kuer.org/politics-government/2022-06-24/with-roe-v-wade-overturned-heres-what-happens-next-with-utahs-abortion-trigger-law">after court decision was certified by the state’s legislative general counsel</a>, which occurred the same day as the <em>Dobbs </em>ruling. Utah’s law will ban nearly all abortions except in cases of rape and incest, but only if reported to law enforcement. Utah’s law also allows exceptions in cases in which a baby would have severe birth defects and if a pregnancy puts the individual’s life at risk.

A near-total abortion ban is expected to take effect in West Virginia through its existing anti-abortion law, which dates back to the 1800s. It <a href="https://wvmetronews.com/2022/06/24/as-supreme-court-overturns-roe-west-virginia-has-a-law-on-the-books-outlawing-abortion/">will likely be revived</a>, but it’s still unclear how and through what specific legal mechanisms that will happen. Recently, voters in West Virginia approved a state constitutional amendment specifying that “nothing in this Constitution secures or protects a right to abortion or requires the funding of abortion.”

We can expect to see further anti-abortion laws flourish in the next few years; Republican lawmakers across the country have expressed their desire to pursue the strictest anti-abortion policies possible in their respective states. Among them is Arkansas state Sen. Jason Rapert, who sponsored the state’s trigger law in 2019.
