“The temporary restraining order granted by the Travis County district judge purporting to allow an abortion to proceed will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion laws,” Paxton said in a statement shortly after the judge’s decision. “This includes first degree felony prosecutions…and civil penalties of not less than $100,000 for each violation.

Paxton added, ominously: “The [judge’s temporary restraining order] will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ abortion laws expires.”

The attorney general went on to dispatch letters to three Houston-area hospitals where the doctor who was to perform Cox’s abortion has admitting privileges, threatening them with civil and criminal penalties if the abortion were to take place.

“We feel it is important for you to understand the potential long-term implications if you permit such an abortion to occur at your facility,” Paxton wrote, adding that the hospitals “may be liable for negligently credentialing the physician and failing to exercise appropriate professional judgment, among other potential regulatory and civil violations.”

It's not enough for this shitstain that this poor woman is carrying a baby who will not live anyway, and that the fact of carrying this pregnancy to term will result in serious and possibly deadly health repercussions for her. So he actually wrote to every hospital where her doctor has admitting privileges to warn them that he will criminalize any help they give her unless they, too, force her to carry to term.

The word "monster" is not adequate to describe the amorality and individual hate involved in doing what this piece of filth does daily to the residents of his state.

It also goes against everything the Bible actually says regarding abortion. The mother's life is more important. Hell, purposefully causing a miscarriage was only a fine under Biblical law.

He's a fucking monster & I can't wait to see him incarcerated Federally. I will actually write him to taunt him.
