Lol Paxton says she doesn’t meet the criteria…as if he knew anything at all about this case.
Paxton is the crusty dried shit left over from the Pissbaby crawling over every one’s rights.
He is emporered by the rest of the Republicans in that state. Don’t just hang this on them, throw them all out.
You’re right, of course. They’re all needing to go.
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?!
cheaper to pay for a funeral than a living woman and single child. gotta play them cards hard. they pulling out blue eyes white dragons
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.

You’re not kidding. We gotta make laws against this shit, asap.
What is the government going to tell her other two living children if she dies?
“God has a plan. You can trust him. Our thoughts and prayers.”
“Get to work, you lazy slut-spawn!”
That’s how I imagine it.
I would sue the judge and anyone who denied it for murder
Literally after their own records showed an increase in infant mortality rates.
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.
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.
if only that’s all it took. unfortunately, the gerrymandering is… profoundly extensive.
Reminder to all that Texas sucks. Republicans suck too. They’re hindering humanity from moving forward.
Fwiw, many districts are not so Republican and would actually vote Democrat if it weren’t for gerrymandering.
People don’t understand how bad the gerrymandering here is.
In 2001, in response to Texas’s new seats granted by the results of the census, Texas’s districts were redrawn by the courts after the Republicans and Democrats couldn’t agree on a map.
In 2003, the Republicans had taken the Texas government in the 2002 elections and decided to redistrict again.
What followed was insane. 52 Dems fled the state to prevent quorum until the session ended.
Then Rock Perry called a special session, and the Dems cited a 2/3rds rule.
So 30 minutes after the special session ended, Perry called a second special session without a 2/3rds rule.
So the Dems fled the state again, but when the first one came back into the state they were forced by law enforcement to attend a third special session to pass the redistricting.
How bad was the new map? Look at it this way:
The Texas delegation to the US House of Representatives hadn’t been majority Republican since Reconstruction.
After the 2004 election, the Republicans held 21 of the 32 seats.
Texas trying to see how low the bar can go. They keep going lower. Need to vote these morons out of office.
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.
Because it’s never been about “saving the 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.’”
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.
