Why in the Kentucky fried fuck is Texas asking Seattle about that.
We all know why. I'm just surprised the hospital responded with a lawsuit instead of a "go fuck yourself."
It does bring more attention if they drag out the go fuck yourself bit with a lawsuit but they definitely need a huge go fuck yourself with a rake letter here.
I've got a nice rusty pitchfork they could use in a pinch.
It sounds like the state could imprison the hospital’s personnel if they ever traveled to Texas (or any other jurisdiction that might jail them on Texas’ behalf).
Yeah I said that this was the inevitable outcome of RvW being overturned. It's a matter of time now. The line of the ensuing civil war will be drawn over these state extradition agreements, and if a Republican ever gets the presidency again they will use the feds to forcibly extradite doctors to Texas.
Holy fuck I need to get out of Texas
The time is now or as soon as you can.
I gotta say I figured they'd use interstate extradition to bring back women who'd left for an abortion. I did not think they'd be dumb enough to try and act like their laws apply to hospital staff in other states.
We have a law in Washington which prevents healthcare providers from sharing the information that the Texas attorney general is requesting. I love my state.
