This headline pissed me off before I realized it was abortion-ban related. Now I’m fucking livid.
Pro-lifers doing a fantastic job of killing people. Truly horrific.
we can't tolerate this. these supposed "pro-life" policies are killing, literally murdering women.
Picture this when ever you see that Orange Turd walk on camera. That is what he brings.
Omfg I get it now... "All life is sacred" as in all life must feel the fearful embrace of God.
I was gonna put a "/s" at the end, but I'm honestly not too sure anymore... Seems like that's exactly what they want. Like what's the point if not the cruelty?
In 2006, when I was about 6 years, my mother, sadly, suffered a miscarriage. It devestated our family. This also marked a turning point in my life as my parents divorced not long after. It's stories like these that make me wonder what would have happened to my dear mother after her miscarriage if the same fundamentalist theocrats were in power then. Would they have arrested her? Would she have died under the same atrocious conditions that Ms. Barnica had to suffer? What will happen to my wife if, goodness forbid, something similar happens to her? This story highlights why, five days from now, you MUST vote. We have make that incidents like these don't repeat. Don't just do it for your sake. Do it for the sake of those dearest and nearest to you.
Not to downplay the situation but this was 2021? Wasn’t all the abortion shenanigans more recent?
Not all of them.
The Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, was later.
But this was just days after Texas SB 8, 87th Regular Session went into effect. Which added two major laws related to abortion: the prohibition of abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected and the ability to file a civil lawsuit against anyone who provides or facilitates an abortion.
Doctors were warned by their lawyers that if they provided an ‘abortion’ after a fetal heartbeat was detected (the case here) that they would be sued and likely lose their license if they lost.
Texas jumped the gun on these laws:
The Texas law prohibiting abortions after a fetal heartbeat could be detected—as early as five or six weeks—went into effect September 1, 2021. At the time, the law—Senate Bill 8, or S.B. 8—was the most stringent state abortion law in the country. It did not allow exemptions for congenital anomalies.
Is the law against a c-section and trying to save both mom and the baby?
