How about allowing abortions for just black and brown peoples. That will make Maggie Sanger, Billy Gates and Clown Slob happy.
ReplyDeleteSo now, a hangnail will be considered to be "Serious pregnancy complications".........
ReplyDeleteFrom the article, "Under the law in Texas, doctors who perform abortions risk life in prison and fines of up to $100,000. Opponents say that has left some women with providers who are unwilling to even discuss terminating a pregnancy."
ReplyDeleteIs that true? I thought the enforcement was through civil court, not criminal. I'm almost certain (and a quick search confirms it) that the action is brought under wrongful death. Even Wiki agrees, "The law can only be enforced through private lawsuits."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Heartbeat_Act
"SB 8 and HB 1515 contained a novel enforcement mechanism designed to shield the law from pre-enforcement judicial review. Each of the bills explicitly forbade state officials to enforce the law in any way, and instead authorized private individuals to sue those who perform or assist abortions after cardiac activity had been detected for $10,000 per abortion, plus costs and attorneys' fees. In structuring the law this way, the authors sought to shield it from judicial review in federal court, because lawsuits challenging the constitutionality of a state statute must be brought against state officials charged with enforcing the disputed law, rather than against the state itself."
What's going on Leftists lying? Inconceivable!
Uh...does 'not wanting another little welfare bastard on my dime' qualify as a pregnancy complication? Asking for a nation under siege by a particular demographic.
ReplyDelete"The state is expected to seek a swift appeal and has argued that Texas’ ban already allows exceptions, calling doctors’ fears of prosecution unfounded."
ReplyDeleteDummies gonna dumb.
There has always been a giant loophole in every law restricting abortion - exceptions for the health and safety of the mother. Mental health is health. All a woman has ever had to do to get a late-term, no-restrictions abortion is claim that she is so upset about the pregnancy she will kill herself if forced to go through with it. Boom, abortion is medically necessary to save the life of the mother.
ReplyDeleteWhatever happened STOP FUCKING?
ReplyDeletenot sure how much attention this deserves since millions of women sabotaged their fertility with the notvaxx.
