Poor lady, all she wanted to do was pray for those specific babies, and since the first thing I learned in Catholic school is that prayers are like dodgy Wi-Fi, the only option was to be right there.

A Trump-appointed Texas judge could force a major abortion pill off the market

It’s god’s* plan for that baby to suffer excruciatingly, how dare that mother want to deprive god* his lol’s.

*God does not want the baby to suffer, Republicans do.

I swear those Republican deciders (or whatever they want to be called as) should be submitted to waterboarding so they can feel exactly what their decisions are about to inflict to that infant.

Edit - just noticed it's already been posted in another thread. Will leave it here as well anyway.

Only a matter of time before a total abortion ban started making its way through committee in an uber-red state legislature...

But don't forget guys/gals, abortion will totally not be an issue in '24.

This is the Dems fault for being nonchalant about abortion for decades and always presuming they could rely on Roe v Wade instead of actually making a federal law to protect abortion.

Partially. I wonder if there was ever enough Senate support for such. I vaguely remember reading an article that discussed such.

e - this may have been the article (maybe not, can't read it all right now but it looks familiar)...

The most recent episode of This American Life featured a story about doctors having to navigate the new laws around abortion. It sounds awful and in the end it will make doctors leave these states as they have to set aside healthcare.

Texas, of course…

Good thing abortion access won’t be a 2024 political issue…

So it's not the fault of the party actually passing the laws and fecking people over?

We’ve already known the Republicans have been working at repealing Roe v Wade for the past 50 years. It was therefore the Dems’ responsibility to protect it by making a federal law that scouts couldn’t easily overturn. The Dems have had many chances to do this and were complacent, which has now finally led to the inevitable conclusion of women being in danger of facing jail time for having an abortion.

Gotta cynically wonder if it was planned to not intercede & codify Roe. It gives us quite the political cudgel in perpetuity.

I don't disagree, I will just say that getting it passed through the Senate would have been impossible without changing the filibuster, something the Dems are cowardly refusing to do.

That's true, but it was just a strange sentence to read, assigning fault to the passive side and not the active one.

Well it is true to be fair.

Any right that can be taken away through legislation needs to be constantly fought for, and one side took that victory for granted, as if it suddenly became inalienable. After Roe originally passed an awful lot just simply assumed that was the end of the matter and did nothing when Republicans & lobby groups started up attacking it, continued to attack it and then overturned it.

At each point they could have hit back, but we’re arrogant and naive in thinking ‘nah that’ll never happen’.

Idaho is where a lot of the hardcore Trumpers I used to know of in California moved to. I also know of a lot of radical right in Coeur d’Alene and the surrounding towns and counties. That state is one to never stay in.

Yeah. Weird place full of weird people, hence my post in the "Weirdest Person You've Ever Met" thread:

The entire state of Idaho
