Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.

MODERATORS
Any doctor who complies with this ban is a worthless piece of shit. Not as bad as the subhumans who wrote it and voted for it, but pretty fucking close.
"Physicians who violate Texas’s abortion laws can lose their medical licenses, face up to 99 years in prison or incur fines of at least $100,000, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights"
You wouldn't have to deal with any decision as hard as this. How can you say a doctor is complicit? They're likely just doing their best then a law gets put in place threatening life in prison.
Unless you're put in that position, you have no room to say that shit.
If a doctor is willing to stand there with their thumb up their asshole while their patient dies an easily preventable death, they're a failure as a doctor and as a human being. At best, it's negligent manslaughter.
If you're too much of a cowardly little rat to stand up against fascism to save a life, don't be a fucking doctor; quit and go work at Taco Bell you belong.
A doctor that throws away a career of helping people to make a political point once is probably not helping as many people as a doctor that avoids going to jail.
I understand the impulse here but the reality is that texas legislators would probably prefer to reduce the number of doctors available to the poors.
Yea! Why don't they all just line up to lose their medical licenses? That way they can't help anyone!
Shortsighted dumbass...
Must be nice living in your sheltered little bubble where the deaths are abstract and doing the right thing when lives are at stake is the wrong thing to do.
You're a morally bankrupt scumbag. People like you are the reason fascists win.
Don't let your ego hit you in the face when you open your eyes dickhead. Go throw yourself on a spear instead of telling other people they should you fucking degenerate keyboard coward.
The people who voted to change the laws to prevent doctors doing their job don't deserve the benefit of medical care, the rest are collateral damage from the actions of idiots; not the inaction of doctors you braindead troglodyte.
No actually it's you standing on the safe sideline screaming from the top of your lungs that doctors should be throwing their lives away and go to prison for life to help a single patient that the state has decided to murder.
If they did that then all the good doctors would be in prison after a week. Not a great plan. And I bet you'd be singing a different tune if it was your life on the line.
It's easy to tell someone else to give up their freedom. What are you willing to risk over this issue, O righteous keyboard warrior?
Now your knocking Taco Bell employees??? They are just trying to make a living like everyone else.....
Not making a good case for yourself.
Once all these doctors fall on their swords, who'll be left to treat the rest of us?
I understand your sentiment, but it's misdirected.
Do no harm
How is that applicable to this particular discussion?
It's the first fucking line of their oath
Take the risk and provide the help or move to a state that allows you to help. Going along with the fascists isn't the answer.
It also wasn't the first line in any version I can find.
Okay cool they don't take an oath. Carry on 💪
Um, what? Citation needed, badly. All I've ever heard about this issue is that things like lethal injections are routinely fucked up because nobody with medical training is willing to participate.
Your username is incredibly apt.
First of all, its not the first line. Second of all, that is in regards to avoiding harm through action, not taking action to prevent harm as you suggest it is.
