[url= https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/texas-abortion-clinics-turning-away-patients-ahead-draconian-new-law-n1278184]Gov. Greg Abbott, on behalf of the unborn, has hit an absolute home run down in Texas. He’s effectively crowdsourcing civil penalties on people who enable abortion past Week 6. The law gives standing to anyone in Texas to sue abortionists, enablers and should-be mothers. If you sue and win, you get $10k plus attorney costs!!! So clinics are turning these women away because they can’t chance getting sued into oblivion. The other side is flummoxed because the civil-side state nature of this makes things bulletproof, as there’s no action to litigate in Federal court.
If the Supreme Court stays quiet and lets this happen at midnight with no injunction, abortion is done in Texas!!! And this approach could be extended to elections to end voter fraud once and for all. I thought we’d have to steamroll the libs in the streets, but the Governor just might have figured out and end run and saved lives. Prayers!!! |
| No one believes you care about saving lives. The last year and half was the kicker. |
| In a way, I hope this happens. It will shake a hornets nest that will explode against the GOP in the next 3 election cycles while also paving the way for significant judicial reform including expansion of the Supreme Court. |
| Many people think covid is over blown. Maybe fake to some, they would rather focus on abortion. Something that a true American patriot believes to fight against. |
It won’t take but one or two women dying horrifically, that’s true. Unfortunately the statistics are that the woman who dies of a botched abortion will be poor, probably a minority and will like have a child or two. And the “weeeer saffffing babeeeez” crew won’t give a fat rat’s about the motherless children or the dead woman. But maybe this will shake some more Republican women out of their stupor and realize that to GOP men, they’re nothing but a potentially loaded uterus that needs to be under the thumb of big Christian gummint. |
| What a sad thread. |
| I am really torn here on whether to hope this happens. I know it will cause suffering and misery to women if it does happen. But I also believe that something needs to shake the pro-choice majority to sit up and take notice of the people trying to take their rights away. |
| Good step against abortion. |
Why? |
So you think your personal religious beliefs, which are held by a minority of Americans, should overule those of a majority of your fellow citizens? https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/06/25/majority-of-americans-support-abortion-poll-finds---but-not-later-in-the-pregnancy/?sh=5d418c935074 |
The maga turkeys have made it clear that they hate America and want to destroy the nation so they can have in its place something on the fascism-dystopian nightmare-Handmaid’s Tale-Christian Taliban type thing, and all versions of this nightmare vision feature the insanely wealthy becoming even more so. Women are just roadkill to them. |
Prayers? You're the devil. |
