What the actual fuck Texas. The baby isn't going to survive and the mother's life is in danger.

Pro-life party my fucking ass. How the fuck to people keep voting for the fascist GQP?!

a 31-year-old mother of two

Bonus chance of leaving two kids motherless, too. Party of family values.

Look up the Texas gerrymandered map. Austin alone will make you seizure. Democracy... Right.

What is the government going to tell her other two living children if she dies?

"Get to work, you lazy slut-spawn!"

That's how I imagine it.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

I would sue the judge and anyone who denied it for murder

Lol Paxton says she doesn’t meet the criteria…as if he knew anything at all about this case.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Paxton is the crusty dried shit left over from the Pissbaby crawling over every one's rights.

[–] Djtecha@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He is emporered by the rest of the Republicans in that state. Don't just hang this on them, throw them all out.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

You’re right, of course. They’re all needing to go.

[–] ClydapusGotwald@lemmy.world 27 points 11 months ago

Texas trying to see how low the bar can go. They keep going lower. Need to vote these morons out of office.

[–] atrielienz@lemmy.world 26 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Literally after their own records showed an increase in infant mortality rates.

[–] DarthBueller@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Oh that? That was a data collection error. We’ve changed our methodology, now there’s no change. Go about your business, nothing to see here.

[–] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I will say not allowing the procedure even in the case when it has failed or wasn't viable to begin with makes no sense.

[–] SPRUNT@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Because it's never been about "saving the children".

[–] three20three@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago (1 children)

God I hate this timeline...

Not knocking her at all, and I understand the position of the doctors, but I wish she could have scheduled the procedure for right after the Thursday ruling or Friday morning so her lawyer could have responded "my client would like to inform you that 'this case is moot and you can suck my cox.'"

[–] mosiacmango@lemm.ee 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

She and her lawyers justifiably want to force the issue. Doing a quick "too late" maneuver would keep her safe, but not force the texas supreme court to make a very unpopular ruling during an election year that a bunch of shit head texas GOP members will crow about.

When the worst case happens and the partisan judges make a partisan judgement shortly, she can go to Nevada or California or any other sane state and receive actual healtchare.

This is some Rosa Parks shit. "Jane Texan" being forced by the men of the GOP to carry a dead baby to term at the risk of her fertility and life, in wide public view. It might change some hearts and minds, and maybe Texas's non voting majority will come out for once.

[–] RooPappy@kbin.social 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

People I'd like to see lose elections are doing things that are deeply unpopular with everyone. It's definitely not good at all, but maybe it will lead to good as people realize they are about to reap what they sowed.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

if only that's all it took. unfortunately, the gerrymandering is... profoundly extensive.

[–] spacecowboy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago

Reminder to all that Texas sucks. Republicans suck too. They’re hindering humanity from moving forward.
