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.

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.

Please consider giving some money to Texas Democratic Party so they can build political power.

Yawn. Pregnancy comes with risk. It’s part of the deal. The state of Texas legitimately passed legislation to ban abortion and, brilliantly, to empower any state resident to bring action against the enablers in civil court. If Democrats wanted to abort babies, they should have tried harder to win elections here. But instead they just want to look down on Red America.

Cox lives in Texas so she needs to step up to the plate and do her duty. We don’t know that she would die. It’s a slippery slope to let her off the hook when it’s the kid who’s supposedly dead, not her. Kudos to the Texas Supreme Court to ignore the Instagram screeds and decide according to the Law.

A vote for Trump or any other republican is a vote in favor of this.

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.


It’s orwellian.


It’s Group Think. I guarantee more than one of those judges have reservations about the decision, but the Elite Conservative Inc. group dynamics keep wayward thinkers in line.

"Yawn" - there you have it folks. This is the Republican response to a tragic situation worsened by terrible and cruel legislation pushed through by Republicans.

Unless the PP is just a troll because what sort of inhumane cretin has this kind of view?

I guess this is one way of looking at it.

If you aren't a person who deserves all the negative karma coming right back at you...I don't know who is.

You are rotten to the core. Shame on you.

You're an idiot.
Everything comes with risk. But the RESPONSIBLE thing is to minimize and mitigate risk, not make it worse. This is why cars have airbags and seat belts and why we don't allow people to drive drunk. And, those RESPONSIBLE things have saved millions of lives.

This DUMB Texas policy is increasing the risk of women dying. It's irresponsible.

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.


I assume that’s deliberate. They don’t want to clog up the courts with cases — so they’ll leave it up to each doctor’s discretion. Of course there will not be specific medical guidelines provided to the physicians, just less than clear legal ones. That way they can fine, arrest, harass, yank the licenses from the physicians AFTER they’ve performed abortions. Since there are no explicit guidelines, it will be quite easy for the non-medical people who will get to decide such things to deem anything they want to as being not “medically necessary” — especially if the patient survives the procedure. Of course if the patient doesn’t survive, then that’s a whole different set of potential fines and law suits. Either way, the OB-Gyns will be screwed. So many will move to other states, thus reducing the availability of medical professionals available to provide abortions. Of course it also reduces the number of professionals available to provide medical care for women’s needs. Oh well. I’m sure they thought this through.

This is sure sounding an awful lot like a witch trial…”let’s throw her in the river, if she floats she’s a witch! If she drowns, well at least she died an honest christian. “
But seriously, I remember listening to the judge last spring disparage those poor women who bared their souls about their medically fragile and incompatible with life pregnancies and at that time say well; “did you ask a court for interpretation of whether you really would have been prosecuted? did any of the doctors?”

I can't think of any other issue that has activated my friends and I other than this?.... I care about the border and I care about Gaza but the thing that most impacts me in my family is rovy way being overturned and with a republicans are doing with it. I can't think of any decision that the Democrats would make at this point. That would have me not vote for them based on their stance and abortion alone. While my mom goes on and on about open borders, I know she'll end up voting on abortion.
