The old white GOP wants cheap labor. If you have lots of meth babies and poor babies, they grow to be minimum wage workers for the rest of their lives.
They want free labor, in the form of women, kept at home because they are always pregnant and dependent on men to support them (because god knows society won’t if republicans have their way).

The only plus is that unlike many other red states, it is not nearly as far from WV to MD so that the women who have exceptions can travel by car to an abortion clinic.
This is why the evil governor refused to allow this issue to get onto the November ballot. The voters would be more likely to vote like Kansas, whereas the Legislature would pass this horrible law. I hope the voters realize what happened and start to vote differently for the next few elections to get this changed.

Of course they have. Who does not know a women who had struggled with a difficult pregnancy it miscarriage or any number of other reproductive issues that are impacted by this new legal environment?
Instead of working with your doctor, you now have the state of Texas way overly involved in your reproductive life. I really would not want my DDs to carry a pregnancy in texas at this point.
So many forced birthers are going to reap the whirlwind, as they should. Unfortunately, so too will many normal people who think women should have rights.
Perhaps there is some misinformation going around
Even if a hospital’s legal team was to say that risking a patient’s life is preferable to the risk of being legally accountable for an abortion, the doctors have taken the Hippocratic oath to do no harm
I wasn’t aware the Hippocratic oath keeps doctors out of prison.
So if you withhold treatment the mother dies, but you cannot be accused of violating heartbeat law (eg ectopic pregnancy)
But if the mother dies, you can be accused of murder
Which would you like ?
I would like to get out of obstetrics entirely and leave the red state(s).
This. Have a baby in a state where the obstetrics community gets some respect.

If SCOTUS rules that a fetus is a full-on person, wouldn’t that negate any state or Congress from codifying Roe? I believe medical decisions about my body should be a constitutional right and not a law that could be taken away later.
- a woman who is glad to see some pausing of extreme state bans but is still terrified that a fundamental right of women to make their own medical decision has been taken away by SCOTUS and who worries it could get worse with the current extreme make-up of our highest court
Granting a fetus personhood rights would make the bodily autonomy/self defense argument even stronger IMO. No person can be attached to our bodies against our will.
