You need to talk to your Ground News peeps. I followed your link and it offered only 30% off. I thought maybe the sale was over. But, when I checked the main site, it's 40% off. 🤦 Also, that story about needing more protections for people with disabilities really made me angry. Because ableism is a real problem. But that's not what this was.
@@profjbrown I saw that story about "protections for people with disabilities" - Trisomy 18 is not a disability, it's a condition that is *incompatible with lilfe, period.* If they really cared one whit about people with disabilities they'd have known this. The fact that these people are this ignorant AND attempting to practice medicine from this ignorance is infuriating.
Yes, paired with the desire of ultra wealthy business owners to have a pool of cheap labor fighting for their crap jobs. Wealthy women can leave the state to get their abortion, but the poor ones are forced to give birth like livestock, producing more livestock for future exploitation by the rich.
You got it. If it were about the babies, the GOP wouldn’t constantly vote against providing children with food and other basic necessities. They’re disgusting.
Because they are not telling someone what they NEED to do - They are telling people what they CAN"T do. No license required. Just be a self-serving jackass and you will fit right in
@@BliffleSplickI think they believe it's a feature, not a bug, that Mary was only around 13 when she was impregnated by their sky daddy. I'm all for Jesus, but DAMN, God SUCKED!
The irony is that the fascism is what draws attention to the facsim. In no universe does reality work the way they want it to, and because of that, their facist laws will inescapably lead to the situations that make lots and lots of attention.
Trae, Texas doesn't hate this one woman. They hate all of us. That is why my daughters and I are getting the hell out of here as soon as we are able! ✌️
I grew up in Texas, but it has really changed! If I was of childbearing age now, I would do exactly the same thing. Going to try hard to vote these bozos out until I can retire out of state.
@@slow-adhesiveness-4933 Are you also just dandy with your rights coming up for a majority vote? I thought we were supposed to be a constitutional republic.
They had their little show trial to pretend to impeach him. Having gotten that out of the way, Republicans carry on as before. DOD should be considering moving a few military bases to less primitive states.
@@WoefulMinionWhich is complete horseshit, because the judge *didn't* make a medical decision. He listened to the doctors and made a call that the law did not apply in this woman's case. Paxton definitely should be charged and removed from office for this.
@@SebbieSaurus22 Actually he was impeached for corruption this year on 20 charges, and suspended from office 121-23 by the Texas House of Reps. But then he ended up being acquitted in the senate trial just in time to fuck up this poor woman's life. But at least 2 state senators had conflicts of interest involving him, and that didn't even include his wife who's also a state senator and was forced to recuse herself, or another senator who had employed his MISTRESS.
@@WoefulMinion I think it's fair to say that, if the judge was not qualified to make a medical decision, then neither is the legislature, the governor or the attorney general.
The baby isn't going to live no matter what Howdy Arabia's judiciary says. But here's the kicker, that lady risks never being able to have another baby if she doesn't have an abortion. Y'all Queda would rather she have one dead baby and never have the chance to be pregnant again instead of letting her have an abortion and try to have a viable baby afterwards. How the hell is that "pro life?"
It's a combo of Prosperity Preaching and eugenics - she wasn't "blessed" enough to keep either her baby, her fertility and if they have ANYTHING to say about it, her freedom. Nevermind that the majority of people finding themselves in need of an abortion are already parents. The "town hussy using it as birth control" thing is a fantasy of theirs.
Say it louder for the people in the back: SHE WANTED THIS BABY! WHY DOES THE MEDIA NOT SAY THIS EVERY OTHER SENTENCE?!?!? THIS WAS A WANTED CHILD AND A TRAGIC LOSS THAT THE STATE JUST MADE PUBLIC AND SO SO SO SO SO MUCH WORSE!!!!!!!
They are so very concerned about Christians being under attack - well, when they are Christian in name only, and don't follow the words of Christ, why would they expect different? It's not Christianity that is under attack, it is Pseudo-Christianity that is.
@RyanCohenAlterEgo I take it you’re Jewish and of course a die hard liberal. Of course you are. You’re one of the millions who listen to what others say and rely on what social media says. So, just like all of the liberals, you all have proven what vile hypocrites are. Quotes from what libbers say, “We love and accept everyone”, “we tolerate everyone and everything and have tolerance for everyone”! But then the libs will actually hate and judge anyone who doesn’t agree with you libs. There has been news reports of libbers beating up anyone who doesn’t agree with your beliefs, have angry protests, have angry hateful, man bashing (so-called) Women’s marches. They say it’s for women’s rights and to be treated equally (and they have been for over fifty or sixty years.. a lot more in the last forty years. Then the liberals, you, actually THINK you know how Christians are and instead of getting to sit and talk to a group or one on one with a Christian, you all rather hate and judge first and you’re convinced to hate anyone who is a Christian and yet, you libbers never ask questions, go to a church and listen. True loving Christians never ever talk or bash any one of any race, religion or even never has anything negative or mean to say about the LGBTQIA+. Never. I’ve been to a few different churches in my life time and not one Pastor or Reverend or anyone who’s a clergy of their church. And you’ll be shocked to know, most of the people who go to church, pray, read the Bible, volunteer their time to help people in need of food or clothing or any kind of donations, have someone in their family, their neighbor, their grandkid, a son, a daughter who knew in their heart they wanted to transition into what they feel more happy and comfortable in their own skin in and not one parent ever makes their kid move out. And the parents, grandparents, family, still loves their loved one even when they know their kid or teenager and young adult doesn’t believe in the church, they are always loved unconditionally. And they love us back just the same. We pray for our loved ones to be protected, to be safe and know their loved one will never be alone. We all have to answer to God and as true Christians, even they know it’s not their place ever to judge because no one wants to be judged. Who on earth ever said Christians think they’re perfect?! Lol Not even the people who are Christians know they are far from perfect to judge you or anyone. You go by the words of the people who are false Christians. They are all talk but sin even more. Some even start their own church, for example, the Westboro Baptist Church. They really aren’t Baptist, the man who started that church is what we call, a false prophet. The true Christians don’t even want to ever associate with those false, not real Christians. God tells us it’s a sin to judge, love the sinner not the sin. Those people of the Westboro church are the worst sinners of all just because of one man, his family and his followers, he brainwashed them all to hate and judge. True Christians went to block those fake Christians from holding up their hateful signs at a funeral or just standing with signs about how God hates gays.. God does not hate anyone. I’m betting God will get His vengeance on that cult of non-Christian church. The people who start cults, just crave for attention and love and brainwashes people to believe in the person, mostly a man starts those cults and they they prey on young girls and teens.. and says God told him to have babies with young teens.. a huge lie. But sadly, the liberals want respect but will never respect anyone who’s not on their side. Elderly people who are Republicans, love the American flag, served in the military, vets, Christian elderly people or even people who are Conservative but don’t go to church (Yes, not all Conservatives go to church but fir many reasons but still know God exists), the elderly were afraid to show their support for American, the American flag, and at the time, Donald Trump when he was the president (He WAS the President but you libbers just can’t let him go! Lol.. You are the people who just keep bringing him up while the Conservatives moved on and accepted that Biden is the President). They fear if they put a bumper sticker on their car, they will get beaten up or their car will get destroyed by hateful libbers, and a few have been either beaten, kicked down, spit on and sucker punched. Tell me how that’s ok a liberal will sink that low to hurt or badly injure a total stranger, an elderly stranger just because that lib hates Donald Trump? Who told the liberals to beat up people who aren’t on your side? Is it ok to put your hands on someone just because you hated Donald Trump? That person isn’t him, so why hurt someone you don’t even know? What gave you libs the right to put your hands for pain to someone you don’t know? It’s sad AND scary how you liberals love to hate on, judge and criticize all people who aren’t liberals but yet, you all just keep on proving what liars and the worst hypocrites on earth. And liberals HATE America and yet, visit the National parks, go on vacations to beautiful places in America, eat the best and finest food, buy a lot of material products. Buy big houses but unfortunately, none of you leave! You don’t hate America itself, you all hate the Republic politicians. Lol.. You were brainwashed to hate, period! Go to a third world country with no fresh water, feces on the streets, women treated like the worst form of a living thing, no medical help to save your life, not enough internet, no Starbucks! Lol.. you all would run hole screaming and begging to come back to America! You think you know Christians but you don’t one bit, you were told rumors and who to hate. Because libs can’t think for themselves. How many liberals does it take to defend America? No one knows. They’ve never tried! Lol.. btw, Obama, both Clintons said in their speeches years before Donald Trump thought of running for the presidency. Obumbum said in a few of his speeches, he wants a wall to be built around the borders to stop and control the illegal immigrants, so did Bill and Hillary said the same thing, they want to stop and control the illegal immigrants from crossing the borders..Not one of you libs said a word or protested or called Obama and the Clintons, racists. Actually I remember a lot of liberals agreed with them. Donald Trump said the exact same thing and because he’s a Republican, the libbers were in an uproar and all of a sudden, he’s the racist!! Even though the Democrats said it first? To build a wall to stop the illegals, they aren’t racists!! Lol.. Oh you libbers are so sadly backwards and demand respect but don’t know how to respect others who don’t agree with you. You libs are true scary people and unfortunately, you really don’t know the chaos and hate you are spreading like wildfire. I fear for my young niece’s and nephews. But thank God, they are being raised with God in their life to protect them from the destruction the liberals will do to this world. I’m so happy I’m not a libber! Who wants to be pissed off and angry every waking moment? Lol 😂😂
The irony of which is that in the state of Texas, it is illegal to give medical advice if you aren't a medical doctor with a license, which Ken Paxton, a crook, is not.
I was in a very similar situation to this woman. At almost 7 months I learned my child would not survive to what we now know was a chromosomal abnormality, meckle syndrome. It was the most devastating news and horrific time of my life. This child was wanted and still mourned till this day 21 years later. I can’t even begin to imagine if my state made this even more difficult.
I've worked in law over 30 years, and not one of the thousands of attorneys I've met is qualified to give me medical advice about my body. Perhaps it's a bit radical, but shouldn't *_doctors_* be working with patients to make these decisions?! 🙄
If a judge can force a high risk, non- viable birth on someone he should should have to attend the birth, even if it’s a c-section, and hold that doomed suffering baby. Since he wanted to be so involved
Even here in Washington State, my daughter-in-law lost a baby last year at this time. The doctors knew the fetus was dead and made her carry a rotting corpse inside her for 2 months, before they would do a D&C, because of the state of our medical system is broken & she is an Ob-Gyn nurse, that’s right, she delivers babies regularly & she couldn’t get timely help, she could have died or become infertile.
That poor woman. She received the worst news an expecting woman can get: her baby is cannot survive outside her womb. So in the midst of this tragedy, the state of Texas sticks its moron nose into her private business.
I'm a native Texan living in the NE and I practically snorted gin martini through my nose at "Howdy Arabia." This is shameful for Texas. I will always love the land and hate the knuckle dragging idiots who hold the power in Texas.
She really wanted that baby, but it would not have survived outside the womb. To deny her the health care she needs and preserve her fertility is just plain cruel.
The woman who was 22 weeks pregnant & her stillborn fell out of her into her toilet? Yes, she needs help, desperately. I don't understand how these people can prosecute a woman who so desperately wanted her child, & just didn't know how to handle the situation at hand. They really just don't understand that she's already suffering more than anyone should ever have to. The loss if a wanted & loved child is the worst feeling ever.
@@elabuterin7150 Paxton was already threatening the doctor if they had followed through with the procedure. My guess is that he already has the TexASS SCOTUS on the phone when the lower court's decision came in. If I was her I believe I would have left court and went directly with the doctor to take care of this and not given these backasswards thinking republiCONS a chance to interfere.
I feel so bad for this woman. This is the most difficult horrible thing to ever have to deal with and it's all put out there for the entire world to know about. This should have been between her & her doctor not the entire country.
@@larryrobinson08 yeah like the 12yo who was raped & impregnated in her own backyard in MS. She was so petrified that she couldn't explain to her mom what happened. Now she is a mom and a middle schooler. This girl doesn't know how to be a mother bc she is trying to figure out how to be a kid. And of course she not knowing who the predator is just makes prosecuting in order to get an abortion is out of the question. I am a mom and watching this terrifies me. I have to think about these situations now that my daughter is this age and she needs to have a voice in this world to protect herself.
Unfortunately, I have lived in Texas all my life. I am 70 years old, but I had an experience almost identical to this lady happened to me when I was 32. My husband and I were expecting our first child. At 26 weeks, we were told after a sonogram that our child had stopped growing at 16 weeks because of Turner’s syndrome. Fortunately, the politicians and the court system in Texas had not yet decided that they had the right to practice medicine without a license which for the rest of us would be a crime. I was able to end my pregnancy. I still almost died and still have medical issues and mental trauma from what happened to me. My husband and I were not able to have any more children because we lost two more. It is not enough that this lady has to go through the horrible trauma of losing a child that she wanted. She hast to go through the additional trauma of fearing that she could literally lose her life while Ken Paxton and the Texas Supreme Court have the arrogance, cruelty, and audacity to think that they have the right to decide how close to death she has to be to receive the care she needs. I cannot understand why these people can’t be prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license. They have no heart. They have no soul. They have no conscience if I was to say what I believe should happen to these people who insinuate themselves into peoples’ individual lives in pursuit of their own personal power, I would be banned from commenting about anything on RUclips for a while. The state of Texas has become not only a national but an international moral disgrace. If my husband and I could afford to leave it, we would. But we can’t leave it because we are too retired special education teachers, and our Texas retirement pension is for shit.
The whole country is feeling your frustration although I think for you, it must be 10 times worse since you actually live in that state, I wish there was some way we could turn this thing around, much sooner than later, so fewer lives are so adversely affected.
AG Ken Paxton should be charged with 1 ) attempted murder - of the mother & if she dies ... 2) MURDER of the mother. Along with practicing medicine without a license.
*Republicans:* Let's all go ahead and ignore the fact that the folks we vote for, who constantly tells us they're the party of _"freedom"_ and _"small government",_ are going out of their way to use the power of big government to limit someone's freedom.
They're not ignoring it. They're cheering it on. They were never about small government for others, they were about limiting goverment power over themselves while maximizing it over others. And they always will be. For them goverment is only a tool of power and control, not a tool of cooperation and preserving freedom, not "of the people, for the people, and by the people", oligarchy is the only system they can imagine.
In their view, the right to kill a baby is not a freedom. In their view, the baby's innate human right to life is more important than a woman's right to body autonomy. So if you want to make a case for your side, you have to address that. Why do you believe the mother is more important than the child?
Here in the Pittsburgh area, a company that employs about 1000 people was going to move to Texas in January. But huh - right after this story about Ms. Cox exploded, the company's female management said "We decided not to leave PA because it would create too much hardship in the area." But we all know they really said, "Oh, fuck no, we ain't goin' to no state that has medieval healthcare for women."
I am trans and a senior level engineer, and we (me and my family) _fled_ Texas earlier this year because Texas Republicans are damn close to making people like me illegal (while they demonize and scapegoat us). Relocating was a major hardship for us in several respects.
I am so sorry that you were forced to flee your home state. I’m sorry that republicans are such cruel, and hate-filled bullies. I hope, at the very least, you are in a place where you feel more at peace, and not surrounded by monsters. I wish you the best. 😊
I am so sorry to hear you felt driven out, but it's impossible to argue against your reasoning. I hope you found a new home that recognizes you and your inalienable right to simply be. And that you and your family can be happy, at peace, and embraced by your new community.
It is not just one issue. Many of the same people who are fanatical on the issue of choice also want to take away the rights to contraception and/or voting rights for those who disagree with them. Most of the currant GOP politicians also vote against policies like the Child Tax Credit that helped lift children out of poverty. They generally want to cut Medicaid and food stamps and want to cut or privatize Medicare and Social Security.
This is the issue I won't ever back down on. I have others too, but this one hits close to home. A few years ago my daughter had 2 ectopic pregnancies and with these draconian laws, she more than likely wouldn't have made it through them. I refuse to not fight for other moms not to lose their daughters to these backasswards, religious reich-wingnuts and their Talibangelical ideology.
Remember in Senate hearings when potential Justices for SCOTUS said roe v Wade was rule of land and not to be messed with or over turned? Why can’t the liars be removed from the court?
As a mother of daughters, both of whom are of childbearing age, this and contraception access are two hills I’m willing to die on. It’s sickening how my daughters have fewer rights than I did and how a woman’s access to reproductive care in this country is determined by her zip code AND whether or not she has the resources to escape! WTAF happened to equal rights for all?!
When I heard about this woman in Texas, all I could think of was the line 'cruelty is the point'. This woman wanted this baby, but it wasn't to be. This woman, if forced to give birth (like a few other women in Texas, look up the lawsuit she's a part of), would have to sit there and watch her baby suffer and die horribly in a matter of hours. On top of it, this woman already has two children, and wants more kids, but forcing her to keep a non-viable pregnancy is not only endangering her life (which would rob a family of it's mother), but she might never be able to have children again. WTF I can't even wrap my brain around that nonsensical lunacy!
"we're about to have to have an underground railroad for pregnant women ..." Underground railroads for pregnant women exist. Many were set up when Roe was overturned; some existed before because each state had different regulations.
We already have an Underground Railroad for women who need abortion care. We also have it for victims of domestic violence. Thing is, we shouldn't have to have it reactivated, back from pre-Roe days, but here we are.
I wonder if this woman died because of complications after being denied the needed treatment, if the legislators could be charged with negligent homicide?
It’s not just that she had to leave the state of Texas to get proper healthcare, is that when she returns everybody has the right to sue her (and her husband apparently) and the state will attempt to prosecute her Ken Paxton is getting back at his wife and all women.
This is exactly the point I always make when they add "exceptions" for the health of the mother. Doctors will be so afraid of legal consequences that they will let women bleed to death while they wait and wait for government approval to end the pregnancy. This is a medical decision, not a political one. Women who aren't even pregnant are already being denied certain medications because they might be used for abortions.
Young women in Ohio is being prosecuted for passing her stillborn in the toilet. She called for help and they arrested her! Went to the hospital twice previously for problems with the pregnancy. Told to go home. She wanted this pregnancy. She is on trial for her life!!!
My friends son had a successful landscaping business in Texas. He now has a daughter. So he moved his family to Washington State where he grew up. He wants better for his daughter.
I just lost my much anticipated niece after my sister went through a difficult pregnancy to bring her into the world. We got to care for her, love her, and celebrate her for a few days and then suddenly, she was killed by an infection. And I told my sister that at least we still had her. Texas would’ve killed off the mama. My heart breaks.
The funny thing is they just keep doubling down on the crap that is losing them support. So they go ahead and enact voter suppression laws to even it out.
It is a very worrisome and scary issue to me. We BLUEs MUST NOT count on any one thing or point else Heir Trump WILL DESTROY the CONSTITUTION and Democracy
What they care about is getting campaign donations from the small group of rich zealots who are pushing this shit and running the GOP like their own personal law firm.
You have no idea how exhausting it has been to try to change the politics in Texas. It isn't just the viability of the fetus. They want the woman to continue the pregnancy, go through long labor and hard childbirth and then have a child to watch die within minutes to hours and then have to bury her knowing you may no longer be able to have other children. When does a woman's mental health come into play, let alone the physical pain endured to get this nonviable fetus here? I have a professional license here and do NOT want to have to test to get a license in another state so I am going to retire it and leave my home because we just can't take it anymore. P.S. I live in a blue county and truly love this state. I am just too tired to keep trying.
The audacity of the attempt to have their cake and eat it too of saying fetuses dont have rights so you cant sue us, but fetuses have more rights than you. Which really tells us how many rights they want us to have, when it enters the negatives
Remember all the talk of "Death Boards" who would decide which people would be allowed to get medical care for a terminal illness? (Which was never an ACA thing...) Yeah, well, those same people are saying "life of the mother, who cares?"
The fact that Texas expected that pregnant woman to carry that fetus and give birth to it, then hold it in her arms as it died, is pathetic and sick. How can Texans accept this?
From what I understand, there was a 90% chance the fetus was going to die before birth, which increases the risk of the mother dying, not to mention extending the trauma on the mother. And from what I've heard about the anti-abortion legislation, it's so vague that doctors are wary to even remove dead fetuses, meaning she potentially would have had to carry the dead fetus full term and then give birth to it. God's plan and all that.
Not "TEXAS"! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS!REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! Did you finally get the message?
That's if it didn't die inside her during the pregnancy and cause her to develop sepsis, and Christ only knows if these assholes would deign to let her get it removed.
Hey, these sickos tried to pass a law a few years ago that required women to have and to pay for a funeral for any miscarried baby. The idea was to force women who had abortions to the extra expense.
Everyone deserves the right to make their own personal decisions about their health care without interference from far-right judges or politicians. What Texas is making this woman go through is cruel and unacceptable.
@@EmperorSeramirI'd certainly say so, as would most people with a conscience and some sense of logic. Unfortunately, the people in power prefer to reject any logic that involves them losing that power. It's truly heinous.
To be more accurate: Rethuglicons demand all Americans do as they command and suffer while doing it. Whatever any Rethuglicon wants Americans to do is all about making us suffer, die or go to prison. It's NOT doing as they say and everything is fine!
The fact that Texas both considers fetuses to have rights when it comes to a woman's life/choice and in the cases of a womans pain amd health that led to her miscarriage fetuses do not have rights, really just spells it out gor you. It's about misogyny plain and simple. It's about controlling women. The day they overturned roe v wade... it made me feel less like a human being. Maybe a lot of women felt/feel that way and it's just devastating. To know that people devalue your life so much just because you are a woman. Devestating.
People in the comments have been saying the usual crap like she’s unmarried and just didn’t want it or it has to be a 100% chance the fetus will die instead of 90%. “God will help her if she’s really innocent” is the worst one. It’s sick. They’ll make up anything to justify hating her so much that they don’t care if she dies.
There is nothing pro-life about pro-life. There were more abortions before Roe became established than there were after and now that some states are making it illegal again because the protections are gone I'm certain the rate will start to rise. Why? Because in the days before Roe, women were allowed less access to jobs, education, and other forms of establishing independence, forcing them to be at the mercy of their families and spouses for their well being. Funny how if you teach someone about their health and give them options on how to take care of it, they are more likely to choose alternatives to abortions. They make it sound like ladies get abortions with the same abandon one gets for going to the salon, which makes very little sense considering how much grief they are given by the pro-lifers for the choices they make. If these "lifers" care so much about the sanctity of life, maybe they should put more effort into preserving the ones that are already here. There are plenty of orphanages, foster kids, homeless kids, underfunded schools, and countless other charities designed to lighten the burden of children that had been thrust into a life of abuse and poverty.
@@dontburstmybubble686The day that Roe was overturned, a woman actually told me that she would force her ten year old daughter to give birth if she were raped and impregnated. I told her that she was insane and deserved to lose custody of her daughter. She told me I was going to hell because I didn’t agree with her that it was right to force a child to give birth to a child. Funny how some people have such twisted views when it comes to “religious morality.”
Yes it also means female humans have inalienable until they are born. The unborn have more rights and more value than the mother or apparently even the already born children of that mother
I'm an Irish immigrant to Texas. My kid is non-binary and even if they weren't, evil needs to be resisted. These colors don't run. We're going to turn Texas blue. We need to spend the money and do the work on the campaigns. They win by small margins, we can beat those margins.
7 months late, but genuinely, thank you for your patriotism and guts. As another blue voter from a red state, this is our fight to win, and we can and will win it!
Anyone that has a daughter attending college in Texas or other anti-abortion state should take note. All it takes is one drunken party or walking down the wrong street to put her life in danger, or have her facing a decades long prison sentence. Don't send your daughters to Texas and put their lives and their futures in danger!
Don't send your daughter to any red state that has enacted draconian abortion restrictions. Give her the information she needs to stay away from those states. Several states are as bad as Texas and some trying to enact even more restrictions like trying to figure out how to keep pregnant women from leaving the state. Trying to restrict US citizens by gender from traveling out of state to recieve medical care. How the freaking hell did we end up here. Louisiana conservatives discussed the death penalty for women seeking abortions. Even if your daughter wants a pregnancy while residing in those states, if ANYTHING goes terribly wrong, then she's at risk of atrocities and fascism from the state she's in.
I'd been interested in seeing the statistics on college applications by gender from 5 years ago compared to now. Have female applications to states with strict abortion laws dropped and applications to other states risen? These states could see the male / female balance start to change in the general population as women move outside of the state to somewhere less backward.
@@nlwilson4892 I would bet not much, if at all. It’s not the first thing on a student’s mind, and most of Texas university students are Texans. Demographically this is a no-op, but Texas could still suffer as more highly educated women stay away.
As a Texan I’m ashamed of my home state. We are actually leaving next year because my wife is trans and I want to be able to get her healthcare. I hope that someday we can return.
I hope you & your wife are able to stay safe for the remainder of your time in that hateful place, & that you're able to relocate to a much friendlier place where she can receive the healthcare she needs & deserves. ☆Blessed Be☆
Wishing you safe refuge in a place that will respect you and your family. Ohio is coming after my trans grandchild. They are furious they lost to us pro choice voters so now they are going after those that have more difficulty defending themselves. There is no end to their evilness.
I hope they do, so they can sue the state. There is NO way these laws can be constitutional. And I think the entire country needs to see these nut jobs takes their insane power trips to their natural conclusion before some people will finally wake up and vote them out. 😤🙄😮💨
Anyone in Texas can sue someone for $10,000 if they helped a woman get an abortion. That means an Uber driver who brought her to a clinic or even a husband who picks up a prescription. It's that bad.
In July of 93 lost my first pregnancy in the 5th month. I carried a dead fetus for three days till I got in for surgery. I was very traumatized by this. I am grateful for the excellent care I received it made a difficult time easier to get through. I am afraid for women who won’t get the very necessary care they need. I went on to have 2 healthy daughters the outcome may not be the same without the proper care.
I'm an atheist but I was raised Christian and all I can think about all of this stuff is how much Jesus would hate many of those that call themselves Christians. The golden rule does not apply to white Christians in their minds apparently. It makes me wish the myths were real and that he would come back and damn them all to eternal hell fire for totally missing the point.
Absolutely! Remember the "jesus is coming and man is he pissed" tshirts from the 70s and 80s. Had no idea they'd be near prophetic. The whole damn country had calliope music playing in its head.
The fact the you think Jesus would hate anyone makes you as stupid as the bad Christians you’re talking about. Self reflection is desperately needed. You wishing eternal damnation on you brothers sisters who disagree with you is also completely missing the point of the message of Christ.
I mean, I'm sure you are already well aware that most Christians wouldn't actually care if they made Jesus mad. Jesus only matters when they can use him as a cudgel to smack their enemies with.
Alabama is suffering with a lack of maternal care in general as birthing centers are closing. No ob gyn wants to deal with it, thus women have to drive further to get well baby care, it’s crazy.
I can't imagine how ANYONE IN ANY COURT would prevent an abortion that would endanger the mother's life and possibly prevent her from being able to become pregnant again. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY CRUEL AND VICIOUS!
It's worse than that, the courts initially allowed it, it was the attorney general Ken Paxton who forced the courts to overturn the decision and threatened any doctors who assisted in her plight with prosecution. This is a purely political stunt from one of the worst, most corrupt politicians to ever exist.
@@firstlast-gn5bothe op technically did say that. It was a poorly constructed sentence, but we assume that they are referring to the pregnancy and not the abortion.
A lawsuit filed by several women who were not allowed to have abortions in Texas even though they were facing medical emergencies has gone to deliberations, I believe. They were suing the state, and the state’s lawyers defended their brutality by claiming their doctors were responsible for failing to provide the right care. They were literally asking, “Did Ken Paxton personally tell you you weren’t allowed an abortion or was that what your doctor said?” Well, that defense is dead because when this woman was granted relief, it was Ken Paxton who said her case wasn’t serious enough to meet the requirements for an exception, threatened the hospitals with lawsuits and her doctor with 99 years in prison. In Canada there are no laws about abortions, just like there aren’t any about prostate cancer. Strangely, in the roughly 40 years this has been true, there has not been an increase in women asking to abort their healthy fetuses at 8 months.
There is an underground network of people who are helping women get transportation and a place to stay in order for them to get the health care they need and should be entitled to. It is shameful in our land of the free that it has come to this.
The cause is a book, a particular book that has caused more misery, mistreatment and suffering than any other fictional book ever written, rewritten and revised constantly over thousands of years to suit the needs of the men that use it for evil.
Texas cares so much about freedom that they allow politicians to play doctor! Can you believe that? As someone who lives in Texas, this is beyond frustrating. I always try to vote them out, but any advantage the Democrats may have in an election has been throttled by gerrymandering. I put my hope in the women, minorities and Gen Z of Texas to pull us out of this. We might be able to put an end to the insanity if they all voted...
Who is going to take care of all the unwanted children. They are in abusive relationships, already have too many kids, on drugs so the kids are born addicted. Why do men get to make the rules for women's health.
They need uneducated drones to work for pennies so that corporations can continue to make to rake in record profits. They also need their nazi youth to keep the people from revolting.
I used to escort at Planned Parenthood during Trump I [Reagan]. Your description of the "baby rescuers" didn't come close to the sheer horribleness of these reality challenged religionists. Worse, they were equally horrible and abusive to any women visiting the clinic. Getting a birth control Rx or a Pap Smear also entitled these zealots to scream at and jostle you. They didn't care. Their invisible friend had told them no cruelty was too much in his name, through a self appointed interpreter [pastor] of course.
I cannot express how much I absolutely despise these people. Once upon a time, in 1991, I found myself pregnant at the age of 15. I was lucky enough to have some pretty amazing, older, friends who not only offered to pay for an abortion, but also offered to drive me to & from the procedure, but also to care for me afterward. Ultimately, I chose not to go through with an abortion, but I am so beyond grateful that I had the choice. I think everyone should be allowed to make that decision for themselves, especially during a medical emergency, after rape/incest, etc. It's between the patient & their medical professionals. I'm glad I didn't have an abortion, but that was MY CHOICE. It's not up to me what someone else does with their body or their pregnancy. Today, I have a beautiful 32yr old & an amazing 22yr old. They are, essentially, my life's work & the very best of me.
Yeah when several 6ft men surround you screaming in your face and jostling you, its really intimidating and scary when you're young. The fact they felt it was okay to come that close and touch you, was horrifying. I had to cross several times over the years. For myself, for friends for family (all for various reasons) Those morons assume everyone going in wants an abortion and the things they say are disgusting and repugnant. Its none of their business. If anyone deserves their fantasies of burning in hell. Its them. The real hypocrisy is the women who are outside clinics protesting and then taking advantage of abortion access when THEY want it but not wanting to give other women the option. They run right back out, pick up their signs and start screeching like harpies again. Revolting.
OMG. I fell off my chair laughing. I know, I know. I'm not laughing at the abortion, anti-life cruelty issue in Texas, but at Trae's southern metaphors and descriptions: "a tent preacher with a shotgun" and "surgeon slash taxidermist." A good news challenge would be to find out how many OB/Gyns are indeed fleeing Texas.
They hate this one pregnant woman because, REALTY. What she's going through completely undermines the version of realty they want to believe in. And beyond that, the possibility that the people who currently have power won't be able to hold it.
My partner and I just left Texas this summer to escape the Christo-Fascism the state is water sliding into. About four of my friends left before me for the same reasons. And my partner’s former bandmate left after us with her husband. And we are all artists. So many artists, creatives and queer folk are jumping ship. I love and miss Texas dearly, but the Texas we left doesn’t deserve us. Texas is losing a lot of cultural creators. There are other communities that can benefit from our skills and participation.
@@ArtGirl82I'm waiting for someone to provide proof of the contrary. I never see republican politicians advocating for investments into helping mothers, especially single mothers, raise children or into the foster care system and adoption agencies.
FYI: There is already an "Underground Railroad" available for exactly this reason. Whoever you are, wherever you are, there are people who can help you get the care you need.

Also, that story about needing more protections for people with disabilities really made me angry. Because ableism is a real problem. But that's not what this was.

It's never been about babies. It's about controlling women.
Yes, paired with the desire of ultra wealthy business owners to have a pool of cheap labor fighting for their crap jobs. Wealthy women can leave the state to get their abortion, but the poor ones are forced to give birth like livestock, producing more livestock for future exploitation by the rich.
"Under his Eye...Blessed be the fruit"
You got it. If it were about the babies, the GOP wouldn’t constantly vote against providing children with food and other basic necessities. They’re disgusting.
If anyone else practices medicine without a license, they get charged. Why are lawmakers exempt?
Because they are not telling someone what they NEED to do -
They are telling people what they CAN"T do.

Texas AG should be cited for practicing medicine without a license and disbarred for abuse of office.
Actually, that's Ken Paxton's argument for swooping in. That the judge who approved the abortion was not qualified to make a medical decision.
They had their little show trial to pretend to impeach him. Having gotten that out of the way, Republicans carry on as before. DOD should be considering moving a few military bases to less primitive states.
@@WoefulMinionWhich is complete horseshit, because the judge *didn't* make a medical decision. He listened to the doctors and made a call that the law did not apply in this woman's case. Paxton definitely should be charged and removed from office for this.
@@SebbieSaurus22 Actually he was impeached for corruption this year on 20 charges, and suspended from office 121-23 by the Texas House of Reps. But then he ended up being acquitted in the senate trial just in time to fuck up this poor woman's life. But at least 2 state senators had conflicts of interest involving him, and that didn't even include his wife who's also a state senator and was forced to recuse herself, or another senator who had employed his MISTRESS.
@@WoefulMinion I think it's fair to say that, if the judge was not qualified to make a medical decision, then neither is the legislature, the governor or the attorney general.
The baby isn't going to live no matter what Howdy Arabia's judiciary says. But here's the kicker, that lady risks never being able to have another baby if she doesn't have an abortion.
Y'all Queda would rather she have one dead baby and never have the chance to be pregnant again instead of letting her have an abortion and try to have a viable baby afterwards.
How the hell is that "pro life?"
I was thinking the same thing!
They aren't pro-life, they are pro-forced birth. We need to start calling it what it actually is.
It’s not about being “ pro life”. It’s about power & control. That’s all that these people really care about!
Howdy Arabia is so apt. Draconian laws that leads to repression of women. While sitting on top of vast oil reserves.
It's a combo of Prosperity Preaching and eugenics - she wasn't "blessed" enough to keep either her baby, her fertility and if they have ANYTHING to say about it, her freedom. Nevermind that the majority of people finding themselves in need of an abortion are already parents. The "town hussy using it as birth control" thing is a fantasy of theirs.
Say it louder for the people in the back: SHE WANTED THIS BABY! WHY DOES THE MEDIA NOT SAY THIS EVERY OTHER SENTENCE?!?!? THIS WAS A WANTED CHILD AND A TRAGIC LOSS THAT THE STATE JUST MADE PUBLIC AND SO SO SO SO SO MUCH WORSE!!!!!!!
I have NO idea why people think they should have input into their neighbors family planning. It's completely outrageous.
There is no hate like Christian love.
Exactly!
They are so very concerned about Christians being under attack - well, when they are Christian in name only, and don't follow the words of Christ, why would they expect different? It's not Christianity that is under attack, it is Pseudo-Christianity that is.
That sounds like Mrs Betty Bowers / Deven Green.
But I think it's an older saying.
@RyanCohenAlterEgo I take it you’re Jewish and of course a die hard liberal. Of course you are. You’re one of the millions who listen to what others say and rely on what social media says. So, just like all of the liberals, you all have proven what vile hypocrites are. Quotes from what libbers say, “We love and accept everyone”, “we tolerate everyone and everything and have tolerance for everyone”! But then the libs will actually hate and judge anyone who doesn’t agree with you libs. There has been news reports of libbers beating up anyone who doesn’t agree with your beliefs, have angry protests, have angry hateful, man bashing (so-called) Women’s marches. They say it’s for women’s rights and to be treated equally (and they have been for over fifty or sixty years.. a lot more in the last forty years. Then the liberals, you, actually THINK you know how Christians are and instead of getting to sit and talk to a group or one on one with a Christian, you all rather hate and judge first and you’re convinced to hate anyone who is a Christian and yet, you libbers never ask questions, go to a church and listen. True loving Christians never ever talk or bash any one of any race, religion or even never has anything negative or mean to say about the LGBTQIA+. Never. I’ve been to a few different churches in my life time and not one Pastor or Reverend or anyone who’s a clergy of their church. And you’ll be shocked to know, most of the people who go to church, pray, read the Bible, volunteer their time to help people in need of food or clothing or any kind of donations, have someone in their family, their neighbor, their grandkid, a son, a daughter who knew in their heart they wanted to transition into what they feel more happy and comfortable in their own skin in and not one parent ever makes their kid move out. And the parents, grandparents, family, still loves their loved one even when they know their kid or teenager and young adult doesn’t believe in the church, they are always loved unconditionally. And they love us back just the same. We pray for our loved ones to be protected, to be safe and know their loved one will never be alone. We all have to answer to God and as true Christians, even they know it’s not their place ever to judge because no one wants to be judged. Who on earth ever said Christians think they’re perfect?! Lol Not even the people who are Christians know they are far from perfect to judge you or anyone. You go by the words of the people who are false Christians. They are all talk but sin even more. Some even start their own church, for example, the Westboro Baptist Church. They really aren’t Baptist, the man who started that church is what we call, a false prophet. The true Christians don’t even want to ever associate with those false, not real Christians. God tells us it’s a sin to judge, love the sinner not the sin. Those people of the Westboro church are the worst sinners of all just because of one man, his family and his followers, he brainwashed them all to hate and judge. True Christians went to block those fake Christians from holding up their hateful signs at a funeral or just standing with signs about how God hates gays.. God does not hate anyone. I’m betting God will get His vengeance on that cult of non-Christian church. The people who start cults, just crave for attention and love and brainwashes people to believe in the person, mostly a man starts those cults and they they prey on young girls and teens.. and says God told him to have babies with young teens.. a huge lie. But sadly, the liberals want respect but will never respect anyone who’s not on their side. Elderly people who are Republicans, love the American flag, served in the military, vets, Christian elderly people or even people who are Conservative but don’t go to church (Yes, not all Conservatives go to church but fir many reasons but still know God exists), the elderly were afraid to show their support for American, the American flag, and at the time, Donald Trump when he was the president (He WAS the President but you libbers just can’t let him go! Lol.. You are the people who just keep bringing him up while the Conservatives moved on and accepted that Biden is the President). They fear if they put a bumper sticker on their car, they will get beaten up or their car will get destroyed by hateful libbers, and a few have been either beaten, kicked down, spit on and sucker punched. Tell me how that’s ok a liberal will sink that low to hurt or badly injure a total stranger, an elderly stranger just because that lib hates Donald Trump? Who told the liberals to beat up people who aren’t on your side? Is it ok to put your hands on someone just because you hated Donald Trump? That person isn’t him, so why hurt someone you don’t even know? What gave you libs the right to put your hands for pain to someone you don’t know? It’s sad AND scary how you liberals love to hate on, judge and criticize all people who aren’t liberals but yet, you all just keep on proving what liars and the worst hypocrites on earth. And liberals HATE America and yet, visit the National parks, go on vacations to beautiful places in America, eat the best and finest food, buy a lot of material products. Buy big houses but unfortunately, none of you leave! You don’t hate America itself, you all hate the Republic politicians. Lol.. You were brainwashed to hate, period! Go to a third world country with no fresh water, feces on the streets, women treated like the worst form of a living thing, no medical help to save your life, not enough internet, no Starbucks! Lol.. you all would run hole screaming and begging to come back to America! You think you know Christians but you don’t one bit, you were told rumors and who to hate. Because libs can’t think for themselves. How many liberals does it take to defend America? No one knows. They’ve never tried! Lol.. btw, Obama, both Clintons said in their speeches years before Donald Trump thought of running for the presidency. Obumbum said in a few of his speeches, he wants a wall to be built around the borders to stop and control the illegal immigrants, so did Bill and Hillary said the same thing, they want to stop and control the illegal immigrants from crossing the borders..Not one of you libs said a word or protested or called Obama and the Clintons, racists. Actually I remember a lot of liberals agreed with them. Donald Trump said the exact same thing and because he’s a Republican, the libbers were in an uproar and all of a sudden, he’s the racist!! Even though the Democrats said it first? To build a wall to stop the illegals, they aren’t racists!! Lol.. Oh you libbers are so sadly backwards and demand respect but don’t know how to respect others who don’t agree with you. You libs are true scary people and unfortunately, you really don’t know the chaos and hate you are spreading like wildfire. I fear for my young niece’s and nephews. But thank God, they are being raised with God in their life to protect them from the destruction the liberals will do to this world. I’m so happy I’m not a libber! Who wants to be pissed off and angry every waking moment? Lol 😂😂

I was in a very similar situation to this woman. At almost 7 months I learned my child would not survive to what we now know was a chromosomal abnormality, meckle syndrome. It was the most devastating news and horrific time of my life. This child was wanted and still mourned till this day 21 years later. I can’t even begin to imagine if my state made this even more difficult.
I've worked in law over 30 years, and not one of the thousands of attorneys I've met is qualified to give me medical advice about my body. Perhaps it's a bit radical, but shouldn't *_doctors_* be working with patients to make these decisions?! 🙄
If a judge can force a high risk, non- viable birth on someone he should should have to attend the birth, even if it’s a c-section, and hold that doomed suffering baby. Since he wanted to be so involved
Hell let's get the AG and the Supreme Court in there too. Let them see what they wrought.
You’re assuming they wouldn’t be calling the media to accompany them so they could prove to their base exactly what kind of monsters they are!
Also, if someone loses future opportunity to have any more children because they were forced to carry this one, the woman ought to be able to sue.
If only we could make them pay for the pregnancies, and adopt the kids they want brought into this world so much. They won't do that, though.
Judges like that should be disbarred and jailed.
Another woman in Tennessee has a dead baby rotting inside her and she is being denied too.
Even here in Washington State, my daughter-in-law lost a baby last year at this time. The doctors knew the fetus was dead and made her carry a rotting corpse inside her for 2 months, before they would do a D&C, because of the state of our medical system is broken & she is an Ob-Gyn nurse, that’s right, she delivers babies regularly & she couldn’t get timely help, she could have died or become infertile.

Unfortunately, I have lived in Texas all my life. I am 70 years old, but I had an experience almost identical to this lady happened to me when I was 32. My husband and I were expecting our first child. At 26 weeks, we were told after a sonogram that our child had stopped growing at 16 weeks because of Turner’s syndrome. Fortunately, the politicians and the court system in Texas had not yet decided that they had the right to practice medicine without a license which for the rest of us would be a crime. I was able to end my pregnancy. I still almost died and still have medical issues and mental trauma from what happened to me. My husband and I were not able to have any more children because we lost two more. It is not enough that this lady has to go through the horrible trauma of losing a child that she wanted. She hast to go through the additional trauma of fearing that she could literally lose her life while Ken Paxton and the Texas Supreme Court have the arrogance, cruelty, and audacity to think that they have the right to decide how close to death she has to be to receive the care she needs. I cannot understand why these people can’t be prosecuted for practicing medicine without a license. They have no heart. They have no soul. They have no conscience if I was to say what I believe should happen to these people who insinuate themselves into peoples’ individual lives in pursuit of their own personal power, I would be banned from commenting about anything on RUclips for a while. The state of Texas has become not only a national but an international moral disgrace. If my husband and I could afford to leave it, we would. But we can’t leave it because we are too retired special education teachers, and our Texas retirement pension is for shit.

*Republicans:* Let's all go ahead and ignore the fact that the folks we vote for, who constantly tells us they're the party of _"freedom"_ and _"small government",_ are going out of their way to use the power of big government to limit someone's freedom.
They're not ignoring it.
They're cheering it on.
They were never about small government for others, they were about limiting goverment power over themselves while maximizing it over others.
And they always will be.
For them goverment is only a tool of power and control, not a tool of cooperation and preserving freedom, not "of the people, for the people, and by the people", oligarchy is the only system they can imagine.
It's freedom for Christian nationalists, no one else.
Government small enough to fit into a uterus lmao
As John Oliver put it:
_"They finally shrunk the federal governement down - small enough to fit in any and every woman´s vagina..."_
In their view, the right to kill a baby is not a freedom. In their view, the baby's innate human right to life is more important than a woman's right to body autonomy. So if you want to make a case for your side, you have to address that. Why do you believe the mother is more important than the child?
Here in the Pittsburgh area, a company that employs about 1000 people was going to move to Texas in January.

Sure, I'm sure it was a hardship--Republicans don't care! I can't wait until they start taking "rights" away from their supporters....
I am so sorry to hear you felt driven out, but it's impossible to argue against your reasoning. I hope you found a new home that recognizes you and your inalienable right to simply be. And that you and your family can be happy, at peace, and embraced by your new community.
Never ever ever have I been a one-issue voter. But this one issue is the hill I will stand on for every election until it is fixed.
Standing with you
It is not just one issue. Many of the same people who are fanatical on the issue of choice also want to take away the rights to contraception and/or voting rights for those who disagree with them. Most of the currant GOP politicians also vote against policies like the Child Tax Credit that helped lift children out of poverty. They generally want to cut Medicaid and food stamps and want to cut or privatize Medicare and Social Security.
This is the issue I won't ever back down on. I have others too, but this one hits close to home. A few years ago my daughter had 2 ectopic pregnancies and with these draconian laws, she more than likely wouldn't have made it through them. I refuse to not fight for other moms not to lose their daughters to these backasswards, religious reich-wingnuts and their Talibangelical ideology.
Remember in Senate hearings when potential Justices for SCOTUS said roe v Wade was rule of land and not to be messed with or over turned? Why can’t the liars be removed from the court?
As a mother of daughters, both of whom are of childbearing age, this and contraception access are two hills I’m willing to die on. It’s sickening how my daughters have fewer rights than I did and how a woman’s access to reproductive care in this country is determined by her zip code AND whether or not she has the resources to escape! WTAF happened to equal rights for all?!
When I heard about this woman in Texas, all I could think of was the line 'cruelty is the point'. This woman wanted this baby, but it wasn't to be. This woman, if forced to give birth (like a few other women in Texas, look up the lawsuit she's a part of), would have to sit there and watch her baby suffer and die horribly in a matter of hours. On top of it, this woman already has two children, and wants more kids, but forcing her to keep a non-viable pregnancy is not only endangering her life (which would rob a family of it's mother), but she might never be able to have children again. WTF I can't even wrap my brain around that nonsensical lunacy!
💯💯💯 Yup. Also the fetus has rights/doesn't have rights argument 🙄 these lying hateful mfkrs do realize we CAN actually SEE them, right??
Yes. Spot on.
"if the pregnancy is that unviable, then God will end things naturally"

@@hannahcallow6374 thing about that argument is that women who do miscarry can't get treatment, because that is, medically, an abortion.

"we're about to have to have an underground railroad for pregnant women ..." Underground railroads for pregnant women exist. Many were set up when Roe was overturned; some existed before because each state had different regulations.
That politician should be charged with attempted murder.
We're with you, Trae. Yes, this is a sh*t show, from sea to shining shore. My god, make it stop. Trump for prison 2024.
We already have an Underground Railroad for women who need abortion care. We also have it for victims of domestic violence. Thing is, we shouldn't have to have it reactivated, back from pre-Roe days, but here we are.
If they chase her down it'll be more like the *Fugitive Slave Act.*

It’s not just that she had to leave the state of Texas to get proper healthcare, is that when she returns everybody has the right to sue her (and her husband apparently) and the state will attempt to prosecute her
Ken Paxton is getting back at his wife and all women.
This is the very thing we feared would happen when Roe v Wade was overturned. This is what happens when you take people’s rights away from them.
Texas did this before Roe v Wade was overturned.
Roe v Wade protected nothing.
Texas might change their tune once all the smart people leave and they find out the particularly hard way that their guns cannot fix an oil rig.

Folks in Texas run around yelling "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS ".No need.They do a fine job destroying themselves.
You Tube only allows me one like, that comment deserves more.
This is exactly the point I always make when they add "exceptions" for the health of the mother. Doctors will be so afraid of legal consequences that they will let women bleed to death while they wait and wait for government approval to end the pregnancy. This is a medical decision, not a political one. Women who aren't even pregnant are already being denied certain medications because they might be used for abortions.
I lived in that dystopia for 20 years. I’m still in recovery 10 years later.
What this poor woman has had to go through and what Texas AG has done to make it worse is horrible

We got to care for her, love her, and celebrate her for a few days and then suddenly, she was killed by an infection. And I told my sister that at least we still had her.

What they care about is getting campaign donations from the small group of rich zealots who are pushing this shit and running the GOP like their own personal law firm.
You have no idea how exhausting it has been to try to change the politics in Texas. It isn't just the viability of the fetus. They want the woman to continue the pregnancy, go through long labor and hard childbirth and then have a child to watch die within minutes to hours and then have to bury her knowing you may no longer be able to have other children. When does a woman's mental health come into play, let alone the physical pain endured to get this nonviable fetus here? I have a professional license here and do NOT want to have to test to get a license in another state so I am going to retire it and leave my home because we just can't take it anymore. P.S. I live in a blue county and truly love this state. I am just too tired to keep trying.
How is this not practicing medicine without a license? Why are the malpractice suits not flying? Where is the AMA on this issue???
The audacity of the attempt to have their cake and eat it too of saying fetuses dont have rights so you cant sue us, but fetuses have more rights than you.
Which really tells us how many rights they want us to have, when it enters the negatives
Remember all the talk of "Death Boards" who would decide which people would be allowed to get medical care for a terminal illness? (Which was never an ACA thing...) Yeah, well, those same people are saying "life of the mother, who cares?"
The fact that Texas expected that pregnant woman to carry that fetus and give birth to it, then hold it in her arms as it died, is pathetic and sick. How can Texans accept this?
dude check the comments on a mainstream news network covering this. there are loads of people defending this. its disturbing.
From what I understand, there was a 90% chance the fetus was going to die before birth, which increases the risk of the mother dying, not to mention extending the trauma on the mother. And from what I've heard about the anti-abortion legislation, it's so vague that doctors are wary to even remove dead fetuses, meaning she potentially would have had to carry the dead fetus full term and then give birth to it. God's plan and all that.
Not "TEXAS"!
REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS!REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS! REPUBLICANS!
Did you finally get the message?
That's if it didn't die inside her during the pregnancy and cause her to develop sepsis, and Christ only knows if these assholes would deign to let her get it removed.
Hey, these sickos tried to pass a law a few years ago that required women to have and to pay for a funeral for any miscarried baby. The idea was to force women who had abortions to the extra expense.
Everyone deserves the right to make their own personal decisions about their health care without interference from far-right judges or politicians. What Texas is making this woman go through is cruel and unacceptable.
Did you hear about the 10 year old here in Ohio that was raped and had to leave to get the healthcare she needed?
@@theMermaidRhonda Yes I sure did.

It's NOT doing as they say and everything is fine!
The fact that Texas both considers fetuses to have rights when it comes to a woman's life/choice and in the cases of a womans pain amd health that led to her miscarriage fetuses do not have rights, really just spells it out gor you. It's about misogyny plain and simple. It's about controlling women. The day they overturned roe v wade... it made me feel less like a human being. Maybe a lot of women felt/feel that way and it's just devastating. To know that people devalue your life so much just because you are a woman. Devestating.
It is devastating. I knew women who rejoiced in that shit too. Internalized misogyny is evil and often mothers are behind a daughter's woes.
People in the comments have been saying the usual crap like she’s unmarried and just didn’t want it or it has to be a 100% chance the fetus will die instead of 90%. “God will help her if she’s really innocent” is the worst one. It’s sick. They’ll make up anything to justify hating her so much that they don’t care if she dies.
There is nothing pro-life about pro-life. There were more abortions before Roe became established than there were after and now that some states are making it illegal again because the protections are gone I'm certain the rate will start to rise. Why? Because in the days before Roe, women were allowed less access to jobs, education, and other forms of establishing independence, forcing them to be at the mercy of their families and spouses for their well being. Funny how if you teach someone about their health and give them options on how to take care of it, they are more likely to choose alternatives to abortions. They make it sound like ladies get abortions with the same abandon one gets for going to the salon, which makes very little sense considering how much grief they are given by the pro-lifers for the choices they make.
If these "lifers" care so much about the sanctity of life, maybe they should put more effort into preserving the ones that are already here. There are plenty of orphanages, foster kids, homeless kids, underfunded schools, and countless other charities designed to lighten the burden of children that had been thrust into a life of abuse and poverty.
@@dontburstmybubble686The day that Roe was overturned, a woman actually told me that she would force her ten year old daughter to give birth if she were raped and impregnated.
I told her that she was insane and deserved to lose custody of her daughter. She told me I was going to hell because I didn’t agree with her that it was right to force a child to give birth to a child.
Funny how some people have such twisted views when it comes to “religious morality.”
Yes it also means female humans have inalienable until they are born. The unborn have more rights and more value than the mother or apparently even the already born children of that mother

All it takes is one drunken party or walking down the wrong street to put her life in danger, or have her facing a decades long prison sentence. Don't send your daughters to Texas and put their lives and their futures in danger!
Or a failed IUD
Don't send your daughter to any red state that has enacted draconian abortion restrictions.
Give her the information she needs to stay away from those states.
Several states are as bad as Texas and some trying to enact even more restrictions like trying to figure out how to keep pregnant women from leaving the state.
Trying to restrict US citizens by gender from traveling out of state to recieve medical care.
How the freaking hell did we end up here.
Louisiana conservatives discussed the death penalty for women seeking abortions.
Even if your daughter wants a pregnancy while residing in those states, if ANYTHING goes terribly wrong, then she's at risk of atrocities and fascism from the state she's in.
I'd been interested in seeing the statistics on college applications by gender from 5 years ago compared to now. Have female applications to states with strict abortion laws dropped and applications to other states risen? These states could see the male / female balance start to change in the general population as women move outside of the state to somewhere less backward.

I hope they do, so they can sue the state. There is NO way these laws can be constitutional. And I think the entire country needs to see these nut jobs takes their insane power trips to their natural conclusion before some people will finally wake up and vote them out. 😤🙄😮💨
Paxton has already threatened her husband, her doctors, family members, and any one else who is even thinking about helping her.
Anyone in Texas can sue someone for $10,000 if they helped a woman get an abortion. That means an Uber driver who brought her to a clinic or even a husband who picks up a prescription. It's that bad.
So if she flew, could they sue the airline? I'm sure the airlines would fight back with better lawyers.
Every woman in Texas should leave the state
In July of 93 lost my first pregnancy in the 5th month. I carried a dead fetus for three days till I got in for surgery. I was very traumatized by this. I am grateful for the excellent care I received it made a difficult time easier to get through. I am afraid for women who won’t get the very necessary care they need. I went on to have 2 healthy daughters the outcome may not be the same without the proper care.
Another example why it isn't about saving lives, it's about controlling them. Thanks, Trae.
She's grieving the loss of her child. My wife and I know this pain. Kate, we are so sorry.

I'm an atheist but I was raised Christian and all I can think about all of this stuff is how much Jesus would hate many of those that call themselves Christians. The golden rule does not apply to white Christians in their minds apparently. It makes me wish the myths were real and that he would come back and damn them all to eternal hell fire for totally missing the point.
Absolutely! Remember the "jesus is coming and man is he pissed" tshirts from the 70s and 80s. Had no idea they'd be near prophetic. The whole damn country had calliope music playing in its head.

I mean, I'm sure you are already well aware that most Christians wouldn't actually care if they made Jesus mad. Jesus only matters when they can use him as a cudgel to smack their enemies with.
Thats because they have Republican Jesus.

@@firstlast-gn5bothe op technically did say that. It was a poorly constructed sentence, but we assume that they are referring to the pregnancy and not the abortion.
GOP and American Christians: Cruelty is the whole point.
A lawsuit filed by several women who were not allowed to have abortions in Texas even though they were facing medical emergencies has gone to deliberations, I believe. They were suing the state, and the state’s lawyers defended their brutality by claiming their doctors were responsible for failing to provide the right care. They were literally asking, “Did Ken Paxton personally tell you you weren’t allowed an abortion or was that what your doctor said?”
Well, that defense is dead because when this woman was granted relief, it was Ken Paxton who said her case wasn’t serious enough to meet the requirements for an exception, threatened the hospitals with lawsuits and her doctor with 99 years in prison.
In Canada there are no laws about abortions, just like there aren’t any about prostate cancer. Strangely, in the roughly 40 years this has been true, there has not been an increase in women asking to abort their healthy fetuses at 8 months.
There is an underground network of people who are helping women get transportation and a place to stay in order for them to get the health care they need and should be entitled to. It is shameful in our land of the free that it has come to this.
The cause is a book, a particular book that has caused more misery, mistreatment and suffering than any other fictional book ever written, rewritten and revised constantly over thousands of years to suit the needs of the men that use it for evil.

I used to escort at Planned Parenthood during Trump I [Reagan]. Your description of the "baby rescuers" didn't come close to the sheer horribleness of these reality challenged religionists. Worse, they were equally horrible and abusive to any women visiting the clinic. Getting a birth control Rx or a Pap Smear also entitled these zealots to scream at and jostle you. They didn't care. Their invisible friend had told them no cruelty was too much in his name, through a self appointed interpreter [pastor] of course.
I cannot express how much I absolutely despise these people.
Once upon a time, in 1991, I found myself pregnant at the age of 15. I was lucky enough to have some pretty amazing, older, friends who not only offered to pay for an abortion, but also offered to drive me to & from the procedure, but also to care for me afterward. Ultimately, I chose not to go through with an abortion, but I am so beyond grateful that I had the choice. I think everyone should be allowed to make that decision for themselves, especially during a medical emergency, after rape/incest, etc. It's between the patient & their medical professionals.
I'm glad I didn't have an abortion, but that was MY CHOICE. It's not up to me what someone else does with their body or their pregnancy.
