The finding itself is self-contradictory. Says a doctor shouldn't need to consult a court for permission to perform an abortion they deem medically necessary in their judgement while simultaneously denying an abortion the doctor deemed medically necessary.

Exactly. The double speak is astounding.

While I like this idea (military bases was also floated) we should NOT be creating workarounds for Republican toxic policies. The ONLY response to this is to crush MAGA/Christofascists. Until they are out of power they will just keep finding more horrible ways to hurt people.

It's more than abortion. It's them asserting their dominance over the rest of us. That is fascism, plain and simple. The sooner people understand and accept this, the sooner we call all work together, from Left to Right and Center, to vote to oust MAGA.

So they ruled there was insufficient evidence that her medical situation met the TX exception list, that if was possible she could meet it in the future.

So how will they rule in the Amanda Zurowski case? She did, eventually meet medical necessity, but suffered injury and nearly died because because she was forced to wait.

All eyes on this case moving forward.

People have made excuses for the GOP for decades. And look where normalizing increasing craziness has gotten us.

The answer is basically "she had to be sicker"

You need to live in Texas but you can sue her husband. Why don't you try it? I will help Democrats in Nov.

Every day I don't think I could become angrier. I'm channeling that into donating monthly to the Texas Democratic Party on top of the voter registration efforts that I'm already involved in in Ohio. This fills me with pure, unadulterated rage.

Texas supplants Florida as the armpit of America.

Anti-abortionists are among the worst people in the world.

Anti-abortion advocates and politicians who support the ban say that the Texas laws were always written clearly, but the new legislation will help make it more explicit.

"If a doctor can foresee that a woman has sepsis that could end up being life-threatening, they can act immediately," said Rebecca Parma, who leads anti-abortion research and advocacy for Texas Right to Life.

She also said that now that abortion has been banned, her group intends to advocate for increased social services to women and the extension of Medicaid, or free health insurance, up to a year after childbirth, to ensure that women's maternal health is not neglected.

Hey, how's that going, Rebecca Parma? Tell us your successes for increased social services and the extension of Medicaid up to a year after childbirth?

I am directing all my year-end giving to abortion groups this year.

My personal belief about the afterlife is that people who have spent their lives abusing, causing pain and spreading misery go to a sort of soul cleansing place in which they experience all the pain they have caused other people. In other words, hell is figuratively real for as long as someone has the stain of deliberately causing others pain and suffering on their soul.

These forced birther ghouls will be burning off their sins of cruel acts for a long time.

I love this part of the decision:

"These laws reflect the policy choice that the Legislature has made, and the courts must respect that choice. Part of the Legislature’s
choice is to permit a significant exception to the general prohibition against abortion. And it has delegated to the medical—rather than the legal—profession the decision about when a woman’s medical circumstances warrant this exception."

And then it goes on -- this body of white men who have no medical training at all -- to make a medical decision that supplants the decision of the patient's very own doctor.

Bunch of crooked, cruel, hateful, and barbaric idiots. Sorry, that phrasing is too kind to them.
