The Texas Supreme Court ruled against Kate Cox, the pregnant mother who sought permission to obtain an emergency abortion, on Monday.
“These laws reflect the policy choice that the Legislature has made, and the courts must respect that choice,” the court’s seven-page ruling read. The court found that Cox’s doctor, Dr. Damla Karsan, had “asked a court to pre-authorize the abortion yet she could not, or at least did not, attest to the court that Ms. Cox’s condition poses the risks the exception requires.”
Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant and a mother of two, had filed a lawsuit against Texas over its restrictive abortion bans. Her fetus was found to have a fatal condition known as Trisomy 18. The baby has no chance of survival, but under state law, there are only two options available to Cox: a vaginal delivery, or a C-section. Either option would risk her life or her ability to have children in the future.
Earlier on Monday, Cox’s lawyers said she was forced to flee the state to get medical care.
Calling people emotional little bitches while making a shitstorm of a whine…
I mean, yeah. I would vote democrat if the other option is republican. Because things like abortion rights, the constant voter suppression attempts, and supreme court (people who were chosen by republican representatives and proceeded to lie to the country) Would kindof be where I would draw the line.
Yeah, if that’s not where you draw the line, then we don’t really have something compromisable. Because a significant portion of that is violated human rights, and the other parts would make it harder to actually fix those issues in the long-term.
Sure, there doesn’t have to be a good and evil. The party is currently doing evil things, and if you are sticking to your guns with that party, then what exactly are we supposed to say? I wouldn’t even say Democrat is being a good party, it’s just not doing things I would consider reprehensible.
And that’s purely going off the domestic policy. Not even going off the fact that there’s some very clear proof that the republican party has Russian government infestation corrupting it.
If you don’t think nows the time to make a clear sign the party needs to reform, then I think there’s a problem there.
TL;DR: We draw our lines, and unfortunately the line to draw for the republican party has crossed some pretty problematic points over the past 10 years.
Yes, it’s time to tell Nazis enough is enough and their shit is over. Yes, it’s time to fight back, harder than most liberals are prepared for. But when a person like OP makes a simple statement that they’re Republican, and yet OP disagrees with them, out come the pitchforks?
You were not listening. Talk about preaching to the choir, I could have written your post myself, and I have, many, many times. Think you’re telling me something I don’t know? Something I haven’t seen or considered?
But voting straight D isn’t fucking good enough, is it? Assholes downvote every voice that doesn’t toe the party line. Comrade. (That’s an insult from the 80s. It means one that falls in lockstep with what they’re told, no thought required or permitted.)
Keep pushing down every “unliked” opinion. See what that’s bought so far? Toxic populism, fascism, powering the disaffected and powerless, who only wish to have a say, even if they’re wrong or confused. Was it worth the price to stomp their voice out and not engage in good faith? And even if they don’t listen, wasn’t it worth the effort to try reaching them?
FFS, even the most sane, moderate voices get no play. Bought and paid for, lay in the made bed, pushing allies away with hate. Always worked in the past!
Don’t come crying to me when defenseless against the Christo-fascists you’ve enabled by stomping out discourse. “How could this have happened?”
(Still waiting for the lecture on the “paradox of intolerance”. It’s a real thing and worthy of discussion.)
You might have a point in here, but you’re bombastic tirade approach makes you look unhinged and people won’t parse it to find the truth beneath.
