Texas wants this woman to carry her nonviable baby to term

That is just disgusting.  She could lose her life, leave her kids without a mom.  Ugh.

This.

They'd pay to have a mistress terminate a healthy pregnancy and wouldn't worry about it for two seconds.

I am so angry about this. So many women. So much suffering. Brought to you by the Republican Party, which is always embracing Christianity-except when it really matters. If there is a hell, I hope that Paxton finds it.

Not everyone has the ability to move. Watch it.

Isn’t this what majority voters in Texas voted for?

Dobbs was decided summer of 2022. Going back a bit further, y’all remember TX’s SB8 which was blessed by the Supreme Court? We had a thread about it. That was summer 2021. How important were these to Texans? Apparently, not THAT critical because what happened Nov 2022? Paxton won a third term, so did Abbott. And power in state legislature stayed pretty much what it’s always been—red, red, red.

Of course I hate the fact women in TX have been stripped of their reproductive rights, but you get what you vote for. Polls say Texans don’t really like these draconian abortion laws. Well, there’s a disconnect somewhere because Republicans keep on winning there. So, if Texans really want reproductive rights, then stop voting for goddamned Republicans.

Texas's vague law allowed for exceptions, but that wasn't enough for Paxton and the Republicans. They want to stop all abortions, no exceptions.

Cox’s lawyers are before the Texas Supreme Court in a separate case seeking to clarify the scope of the emergency exception. When the case was argued last week, the state’s lawyer insisted that doctors’ exercising their best medical judgment wouldn’t be at risk of being prosecuted or sued.

“With allowing reasonable medical judgment, you avoid the possibility of getting it wrong and ending up in prison,” Texas Assistant Attorney General Beth Klusmann assured the court. “As long as your judgment is reasonable, you should be fine under this law.”

Now comes Paxton, Klusmann’s boss, to make clear that is not the state’s position at all. Not only can Cox’s doctor not use her judgment about what’s best for her patient, but she also can’t rely on a court order allowing her to do so. This isn’t regulating abortion — it’s terrorizing those who dare to perform the procedure and endangering the women who need it.

As I've said before, both Biden AND Trump need to move on.

And pointing out absolute proven lies said about someone, anyone... is not supporting them. It's simply stating the truth. YOU don't have to like someone to be honest regarding them.

They may profess to have those beliefs but they don’t really. They are illustrating by their votes that they don’t really believe in those things. Their votes reflect their true beliefs which are anti-women, anti LGBTQ, anti democracy and pro-authoritarianism.

Your support goes much deeper than refuting what you think are lies.  You've never criticized Trump and you continue to defend him even though his actions and statements are undemocratic, dictatorial, authoritarian and indefensible.  Spin it and justify it however you want but your continued support for Trump and Republicans is part of the reason why women lost reproductive freedoms. So thanks for that.

What sort of people think they are right in this decision? I didn’t realise that Courts know better than medically trained people to making a decision like this. I am really quite speechless. 

Sure, if you dig really deep in your hundreds of posts, there are a few negative comments about Trump and an acknowledgment that Biden won the election. You referred to people that were involved in the insurrection on Jan 6 as “thugs” without acknowledging Trump’s role and ignored the fact that they were Trump supporters and Republicans. Looking at the big picture, your scarce, infrequent, sparing and limited negative comments regarding Trump are a drop in the bucket compared to your defense of him. You remained silent about some of Trump’s most abhorrent statements and actions. I will amend my statement to you rarely criticize Trump if that makes you feel better.

Even today, you continue to defend the monster who created the situation in Texas. Trump supporters like you are the reason why women are losing their reproductive freedom.

I don’t recall your criticism of McConnell for withholding Merrick Garland’s nomination or pushing through Amy Coney Barrett’s after voting started. Did you object to McConnell essentially stealing a seat from Obama and the Democrats? Did you object to the hypocrisy? Did you express concern when Trump’s 3 justices were nominated that Roe might get overturned? Did you criticize or express concern when the conservative justices did in fact, overturn Roe?

Regarding the conservative justices, did you criticize them when they lied about overturning Roe? Did you criticize Kavanaugh when the allegations of sexual assault were revealed? Did you criticize Thomas or Alito for the undisclosed, unethical, exorbitant gifts they received?

Most likely, you were silent about the actions and statements of McConnell, the conservative justices, Trump and other Republicans that directly led to the current situation where women no longer have the ability to make medical decisions regarding their own body. So spare us your disingenuous sympathy now.

The fact that she had to deliver a still birth at home in a toilet without medical care is horrible but putting her on trial is just the lowest of low.

I was given medication at 9 weeks gestation to force a miscarriage since there was no heartbeat.  They sent me home to “deliver” (I’m in CA) and it was traumatic. I can’t even imagine at 22 weeks.

When you think they can't go lower - I really can't comprehend what is wrong with these people - there's something fundamentally broken in them to lack not just empathy, but basic awareness that perhaps their life experience is different.
