Thirty-five-year-old Porsha Ngumezi’s case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.

      Not even real ideology, the people putting this shit front and center are doing so purely to manipulate voters and give absolutely zero fucks about the actual morality of any of these policies. As should be obvious by the adulterers, rapists, crooks, liars, and bigots that tout “Christian values” in everything other than their personal choices.

        Pretty much any of those people would just pay to have their mistress get an abortion in another state or from an underground doctor for the elite. They don’t want to pay child support.

          I get your frustration, but part of the reason I get my vaccines is to even keep those morons a little safer. It’s the same reason I work in and support public education even though I don’t have kids: some of those diseased little shitheads are gonna someday make decisions that could kill others who were just trying their best.

      Probably, there’s a lot of Nazis in MAGA after all. However, they still don’t give two shits when it’s a white woman either, at least until it affects them personally.

      Fails and Crain believed abortion was morally wrong. The teen could only support it in the context of rape or life-threatening illness, she used to tell her mother. They didn’t care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions.

      …

      But when her daughter got sick, Fails expected that doctors had an obligation to do everything in their power to stave off a potentially deadly emergency, even if that meant losing Lillian. In her view, they were more concerned with checking the fetal heartbeat than attending to Crain.

      This very much so is the most tragic of leopards eating faces.

    So at what point do you mortgage the house to get a helicopter and fly them out of state?

    Can’t they just pull their Texan guns on doctors like they did over abortions? For my partner’s life?

      I kept on getting magasplained by a particular set of idiots about how there was no such thing as Gilead states in America, though? What happened? Almost this exact same set of idiots kept telling me that liberals were “overreacting” about Roe and women’s rights, prior to 2022.

    Those medical professionals should lose their license and go to prison, this is manslaughter.

      The governor and anyone who voted for it should be more like. The doctors will go to jail if they help.

        “Stigma and fear are there for D&Cs in a way that they are not for misoprostol,” said Dr. Alison Goulding, an OB-GYN in Houston. “Doctors assume that a D&C is not standard in Texas anymore, even in cases where it should be recommended. People are afraid: They see D&C as abortion and abortion as illegal.”

        These are cases where a D&C would still be legal under the Texas law, but doctors are still not doing it because they’re afraid to get sued by Ken Paxton. That’s malpractice.

        I get that the law is ridiculous, immoral and badly written, but that still doesn’t absolve you from your responsibility to preserving human life.

        And yeah, the Texas Governor and Republican legislature are morally responsible, and have blood on their hands, but since they’re writing the laws they can’t exactly be charged with a crime.

      I’m curious as to what you do for a living, and if any portion of the proper practice of that thing has been outlawed by the state. You must be some type of professional freedom fighter to be so self-assured in your righteousness.
