Texas judge grants pregnant woman permission to get an abortion despite state’s ban
  • Hide our stance? The original commenter summarized the article in a way that made their stance clear. They believe the procedure in the article is medical care. They don't have to state what procedure they're talking about because it's in the article.

    Your accusation that they're trying to hide what the procedure is leads me to believe you don't agree that it is healthcare. So in the interest of having a productive discussion about the topic of this article I will make an argument and ask you what you think.

    1. What is considered healthcare should be decided by medical professional consensus.

    2. Your access to healthcare should not be dependent on a judges approval.

    3. The procedure we are discussing detailed in the article is considered healthcare by medical professional consensus.

    Conclusion. Access to the procedure we are discussing detailed in the article should not be dependent on a judges approval.

    What do you think?

  • Yes, being specific is more specific. I assume you're implying that more specific = better.

You shouldn't need a judge to give your doctor permission to provide you with healthcare. It doesn't matter what kind it is.

However, the judge may determine the severity of the outlined punishment on a case by case basis. Also, there are alternative punishments that a judge may use at their discretion, or at the request of the defense.

  • Any punishment that isn't a fine, jail time, or community service is unusual by definition because those are the typical consequences. However, it is written into our laws that a judge may deviate from this norm if they feel it more suitable. So yes, a judge could interpret this as unusual, but I they have the legal freedom to decide it's not.

    She was also given a choice so she isn't being forced into the "unusual" punishment. She chose it over conventional punishments.

  • Back in my day
  • My neighbor had so many weird yet charming movies we didn't have in our house. There was this one where I think an English man took care of an otter for some reason? It was also at this neighbor's house that I first saw Monty Python and the Holy Grail for the first time. We had those 1am sillies and were in a permanent giggle fit.
