Cont: Roe v Wade overturned - this is some BS part II

DeSantis is typical of the phony conservatives who complain government has too much reach into people's lives. Unless they're in power and it's something they want and then look out!

To my IANAL eyes, yes, this looks grossly unconstitutional. To threaten legal action -- up to and including jail time -- against news organizations for running ads supporting a political position DeSantis opposes? WTAH?!? :(
 
MAGA cry about freedom of speech if they are told that they can't incite violence. Yet, they actually oppose protected freedoms of speech that they don't like.
 
This horror show illustrates why medical exemptions aren't sufficient. If you put catching a murder rap on the wrong side of a diagnosis, this is what you get.

Unfortunately, I suspect this outcome is at best expected and tolerated. At worst (and the hoofbeats keep coming closer) welcomed. The so-called pro-lifers value human life only as an abstract icon of faith. When it enters the realm of worldly existence, they wash their hands of it.

Chalk another death up to the victory over abortion. I figure Americans are just used to people dying after being denied life saving care which is why this isn't being treated as a big deal, unlike in Ireland when a similar death happened.

Halappenavar was only the one death that couldn't be hushed up, being the wife of the Indian ambassador. Many Irish women died that way, but their deaths didn't get international attention like a dignitary's does.

She wasn't the wife of the Indian ambassador, they were both immigrants over on work visas. Not that that excuses her death.

And she wasn't the only woman whose case was in the papers at the time. There was a case where a brain dead woman was kept on life support for weeks after brain death because her foetus was still showing a heartbeat and there was also a case of a young asylum seeker who was refused leave to travel to the UK to have an abortion of a foetus conceived through rape https://www.irishtimes.com/news/soc...omen-unable-to-travel-for-abortions-1.2037483.

Then you can go back further to things like the X case in 1992 or Annie Lovett or the Kerry Bbabies scandal, all issues that became national scandals due to the abortion ban.
 
Huh, according to Wikipedia, you're right. The Indian ambassador did get involved, but his name was Chakravarti. I now wonder where I got the idea that her husband was the ambassador.
 
The new, full-throated alpha male maga meme is Your Body, My Choice. To say it's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better is dishonest; it's just gonna get worse.
 
According to Texas documents, it didn't happen. They've taken measures to ensure such things aren't documented or trended.
 
I'm sure state lawmakers are insisting it doesn't have to happen. That doctors are letting patients come to harm in order to deceive people into believing the law is bad. That's totally believable and not insane at all.
 
So if the law wasn't there, the doctors wouldn't do it, therefore it's the doctors' fault?
That makes sense....
 
It is never the fault of The Party, no matter how much evidence there is that it is.
