When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit offered its own answer, declaring that Texas may prohibit hospitals from providing “stabilizing treatment” to pregnant patients by performing an abortion—withholding the procedure until their condition deteriorates to the point of grievous injury or near-certain death.
The ruling proves what we already know: Roe’s demise has transformed the judiciary into a kind of death panel that holds the power to elevate the potential life of a fetus over the actual life of a patient.
Yes. The objective is to punish women for the crime of having sex.
Punish poor women.
The Rich and Politician daughters and mistresses will still have full access to abortions under the guise of health retreat/2 week vacation/etc etc.
Well, as long as daddy/hubby approve. In their ideal world, they’d be able to control this as well, and bring about the end of no-fault divorce, etc.
Punish other women
The only moral abortion is my abortion
Sex with anyone but them, mind. You know they’d have no issues flying their mistresses to a more permissive state for an abortion.
Having unauthorized sex. Look at that GOP woman who was having three ways to ‘save her marriage.’ It was fine for her to have relations with another woman as long as the owner approved.
