Why the fuck would anyone want to ban medical emergency abortions? How would any sane person think this is a moral stance? The only goal is to kill women. How is this a mainstream political party’s stance?

Just declare open season on women already. Jesus Christ these people are fucking sick.

Sounds like TX doctors should start refusing to see any politicians or their families in the state. Let them handle it themselves.

Texas and the associations immediately sued the administration, saying the guidance interfered with the state’s right to restrict abortion [regardless of risk to the mother’s life in the ER]. A lower court judge in August 2022 agreed

Fuck me. What premise to hang a judicial argument on. They openly are fighting for “no exemptions, no matter what” and are willing to force doctors and nurses to break their medical oaths to do that, under color of law.

If you’re a medical professional who has any dealings with women, it’s time to leave Texas. The goals of the state, and yours as a medical practitioner, irrefutably do not align. Ken Paxton will hunt you down via lawfare, slander your name in public, and ruin your life if you dare to care for a dying patient that you can save from death.

Time to pull all federal funding from that shithole state.

This sounds like another one of those “well the state has no obligation to actually protect its citizens. So therefore you can’t force us to provide life saving procedures.” I am a dude and this just boils my blood. Maybe there is just no fixing that god forsaken state. Texas, Florida and Idaho.

A lower court judge in August 2022 agreed, finding that Emtala was silent as to what a doctor should do when there is a conflict between the health of the mother and the unborn child

And that’s absolutely correct. This has been a big point about “codify Roe” that Congress hasn’t addressed.

The tenth amendment says that if Congress is silent on a point, State’s get to weigh in.

This has been an ongoing thing that folks have indicated for Congress to fix especially since 1992 when we had Casey, when literally SCOTUS dropped the hint that Congress really needs to step up on this massive missive.

I don’t like the ruling, but it’s absolutely the correct one. Biden gave it a shot but this one is completely on Congress to fix. The President can’t unilaterally attempt to fill in a blank that States have already filled in.

It’s this same power that allows California to command a lot of their environmental programs, to deny it to Texas would destroy a ton of protections California has created.

If the ruling went the other way those judges would be receiving death threats. Conservatives are not playing by the same rules as the rest of us. Something needs to change.

Is america actually a country or just a set of miniature nations that refuse to work together?

That will teach her to try to protect her life and fertility!

Okay sooooo I’m a woman in Texas and….yeah. Cool. Cool cool.

State laws to nullify federal laws are already unconstitutional

They need those unplanned pregnancies to make future republicans

The cruelty is the point of it. Fuck these people.

Just a suggestion for all Texan women.... Have no kids, don't get pregnant..ei, hold back sex until the men of your state join you in a big ass pro-women march. One so big that Trump would talk about how hooch it was.

America needs to ban Texas. ASAP.

May the people who enabled this get unplanned pregnancy after pregnancy.

Fifth Circuit? Shocker

That whole bench needs to be reseated.

BuT wE hAvE FrEeDuMb!!!!

all states have started to do things on a state by state basis unless the federal law is favored

policing, abortion, insurance, wages, cannabis are all state by state issue

federal is out the window just look at voting you get to vote on who your state decides to put on the ballot

not everyone in texas decided this the politicians did look at Ohio recently it does not listen to what people vote for

obama, trump, and biden all support states rights that is just the last three presidents
