The ruling deals a blow to the White House’s strategy to ensure access to abortion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.
A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled that Texas hospitals and doctors are not obligated to perform abortions under a longstanding national emergency-care law, dealing a blow to the White House's strategy to ensure access to the procedure after the Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion in 2022.
A sick part of me is happy that these states are going insane. I can’t wait for a redneck to start crying when his wife dies because his already dead-in-the-womb baby still counts as a baby, and the doctor says, “gosh, that’s an abortion! I can’t do that because of your vote”
But the number actually affected isn't enough to sway elections. And the rest have zero empathy for others or foresight so won't care unless they are impacted.
It's like worrying about the emergency overflow drain on the AC that's been dripping for a year when the entire system needs an overhaul, but sure, that would at least fix a problem.
The people who pass this legislation can afford to covertly leave the state they ruined for a blue one.
Unfortunately there is no sadistic pleasure here except what they feel when women are deprived of their bodily atonomy, pushing them one step closer to property, to be bartered to people with power like them. It's the only way to permanently reverse the trend of men growing up left of center, keeping young misguided boys incels losers forever as opposed to switching belief systems the moment they have to start appealing at all to women.
Is this one of those things where you just assume everyone in a red state supports it an deserves it? You do realize there are massive voter suppression campaigns and gerrymandering problems in these areas, right? But I guess fuck them they asked for it.
