Three plaintiffs testified about the trauma they experienced carrying nonviable pregnancies.
Horrible laws written mostly by men against women. Men who will never and have never been affected by what they are prohibiting.
It’s so gross and infuriating.
Even if it did affect them through someone they knew, the people writing the laws can afford to circumvent them. Make no mistake, these people do get abortions banned or not.
I kinda disagree. Patriarchal laws and social norms hurt men as well. In this case, I’m sure the men in her life were negatively affected (not to the same degree of course).
Specifically, laws written by straight, white, Republican men, for the sole purpose of gaining power over everyone who’s not straight, and everyone who’s not white, and everyone who’s not Republican, and everyone who’s not male… no matter how cruel the effects of the laws are. This is the actual Republican platform. In the pursuit of the ‘right’ people telling the ‘wrong’ people what to do, and in the pursuit of keeping the ‘wrong’ people from telling the ‘right’ people what to do, anything goes. Hypocrisy, lies, crime, election fraud, subverting courts, coups, false patriotism, false piety, terrorism, even outright murder… anything goes.
Know the enemy, spread the word to your friends and family (and maybe further).

Ashley Brandt, a Dallas resident, said she was pregnant with twins but learned one had a fatal condition called acrania. The longer she carried it, the more it jeopardized the survival of her other twin.
oh my god…
I don’t think you can be any more “pro life” than putting 2 other healthy people at risk to save the life of a baby that’s going to die.
Don’t forget many “pro lifers” are in the same demographic as pro death penalty.
We’re actually running out of spots in hell for hardworking Christians at this point. We’re having to quadruple and octople stack souls together and it’s a bit alarming. I’ve been having to repeat a ton of times to the incredulous that feeling like you’re doing the right thing and doing the right thing, [aren’t the same thing].
They seem genuinely shocked and confused, which leaves me feeling leery if they’re actually idiots or evil. Hanlon’s Razor says to always assume ignorance before malice.
You guys gotta do something or all your old people are gonna end up cooking.
You would not believe how many “leftists” I’ve told to stop using slurs or misgendering me, only to be told “but I didn’t meeeeeean it, so I don’t need to apologise”
They shouldn’t do that but that isn’t relevant or of the same scale. And yes I do make a point to not misgender someone but I am positive that I am going to make mistakes.
My sister-in-law is trans. I call her she. She is an amazing aunt and my kids love her.
Yeah that never made sense. I am prochoice and hate the death penalty. It should only be used when the crime is such that you legit can not put it in the same category as regular murder and a message has to be sent. Like when some dictator commits genocide. That’s it. It has to be so extreme that the regular justice system doesn’t have a clue what to even do about it.
The cruelty of it is the point.
But what’s the point of the cruelty? ~Cherri

(Totally unrelated, but I keep seeing you around and I’m curious about why you sign your name. Is your account shared? Feel free to ignore if you don’t want to answer Im just curious)
TL;DR for anyone else in the thread: multiple people share an account and sign who’s typing at the moment. The reason they share an account is that they share a brain.
The best explanation I can give is on https://morethanone.info ~Cherri
Ohh I see! I appreciate you answering when you didn’t have to! See you around! :)
I also appreciate there awnser. Its nice to see people asking and answering questions respectfully
Thank you. One of my best friends has DID. I appreciate the info lots.
Any doctor who complies with this ban is a worthless piece of shit. Not as bad as the subhumans who wrote it and voted for it, but pretty fucking close.
“Physicians who violate Texas’s abortion laws can lose their medical licenses, face up to 99 years in prison or incur fines of at least $100,000, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights”
You wouldn’t have to deal with any decision as hard as this. How can you say a doctor is complicit? They’re likely just doing their best then a law gets put in place threatening life in prison.
Unless you’re put in that position, you have no room to say that shit.
If a doctor is willing to stand there with their thumb up their asshole while their patient dies an easily preventable death, they’re a failure as a doctor and as a human being. At best, it’s negligent manslaughter.
If you’re too much of a cowardly little rat to stand up against fascism to save a life, don’t be a fucking doctor; quit and go work at Taco Bell you belong.
A doctor that throws away a career of helping people to make a political point once is probably not helping as many people as a doctor that avoids going to jail.
I understand the impulse here but the reality is that texas legislators would probably prefer to reduce the number of doctors available to the poors.
G’morning, Your title might not match the title of the article you linked! Could you please double check, and edit your post title if it indeed does not match? article title: “Woman suing Texas over abortion ban vomits on the stand” (Similairity: ~70%).
ZZZzzzz… this action was performed semi-automatically by a bot (:
Have the mods clarified how to handle articles with content that is disingenuously or incorrectly represented in the title? I’ve asked before and still haven’t received any response.
Just like all rules, it’s up to the mods description to determine that. It might be nice to expand the 4th rule to make it more clear, but I’m not the creator of this community, so I won’t be doing that.
I (thekingoflorda) will not delete any posts which title do not match the article. I just wrote this bot to prompt people to check if their title is appropriate.
Thank you for your service.
Was the video not in the article? I skimmed and watched that top one but saw it nowhere?
Does anyone have it? Depending on how the person comes across in the moment it occurred the shock impact of these events is often useful at getting through to people.

On one hand, these “protestors” are mostly unhinged nutjobs.
This is the dumbest thing I’ve read all week.

Sure.
She wasn’t a protestor, she vomited while recounting being forced to carry a miscarriage and nearly dying as a result. She was just one of 3 who had similar stories who testified. Texas republicans are moving to dismiss their concerns. Not really a “both sides” situation.
The women in the court? Not sure who you’re referring to or maybe I’m missing some information here. I thought they were women who became pregnant, were denied abortions, went through some heinous shit, and are suing the state in protest of a law that most people already don’t agree with. Kind of missing the ‘nutjob’ part of your thoughts…

I know, American politics is so littered partisan hacks that anything that doesn’t align with liberal or conservative propaganda seems odd.
