The only opinion I provided is one that was FOR her getting the abortion. 'She proved it enough that a JUDGE granted her the TRO. It is the Texas laws that are malicious. This woman, who wants this child, received devastating news about her unborn child. She talked with her doctors and listened to what they told her about the abnormality, and the risks to the child and herself if the pregnancy continued. She made the heartbreaking decision that the best choice for herself and her family was to terminate the pregnancy. WHO IN THE HELL IS KEN PAXTON TO DECIDE OTHERWISE???!!!! He is not a doctor. He isn't the one risking death to carry this pregnancy. He isn't the one who could potentially leave 2 living children motherless. He isn't the one who has to bear the mental and financial burden of carrying a non-viable pregnancy You people act like she woke up one morning and decided to have an abortion. It is heartless and cruel and frankly NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - basballguy - 12-09-2023 (12-09-2023, 12:41 PM)pally Wrote: 'She proved it enough that a JUDGE granted her the TRO. Ken Paxton also proved enough to a judge she didn’t provide sufficient evidence. There hasn’t been sufficient evidence the baby won’t survive and she hasn’t proved her health is at risk. One judge agrees, another doesn’t. You are putting way too much emotion into this and quite frankly it’s insulting to say “it’s none of your business” simply because I don’t have the same biological sex. You don’t know my history or experiences with abortion. Lastly, I said she should be granted the abortion so you’re getting worked up for no reason.

The Texas supreme court ruling states that it is staying Thursday's order "without regard to the merits" of the case. Essentially, the court has said that they don't want anything to happen until they make their ruling. I am curious, though, what would be "sufficient evidence" for the risk to the fetus and the mother beyond the medical diagnostics and the typical course of the condition?

It is none of your business BECAUSE IT ISN'T YOUR BODY!!!!!!!!!!!! It doesn't matter what your personal experience with abortion is or not. And yes I am putting emotion into this subject because to a woman it isn't abstract. It is governmental control over our bodies and our health. Not understanding why women get emotional over this subject is exactly why Republicans and conservatives have lost every vote on this subject since Roe-v Wade was overturned. No woman should have to go to court to protect her health. And I shudder to think what other steps to control a woman's choices Texas will take if they get away with this. RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - NATI BENGALS - 12-09-2023 Without a doubt I agree with the GOP. This man should have final say over all women's personal health decisions. [attachment=2203] Luckily this evil doer lady is in Texas and the GOP has the true power they deserve there, to get this lady's difficult personal health decision into the courts where it belongs.

Either way, I've not heard that angle before and it's a good one because it's true. Political arguments where you ask a voter to consider the suffering of other people don't get much traction in the "what's in it for me" culture we have going. I mean sure it's nice to think about the rights and pain a baby might feel but what's next? Caring about that baby's education? Or the state of the world in which he or she will grow? Caring about the baby having clean air and clean water? Caring about free school lunches? It's a slippery-slope of caring if you ask people to care. Also, I'm not going to bat for making babies suffer, but I don't recall anything until I was at least 2 years old and unless I experienced no physical pain until then I feel like I didn't feel it.

Don't worry...Texas is also arguing that a fetus has no rights. https://apnews.com/article/texas-fetus-rights-prison-lawsuit-6c4fa19793cd56e5edade436d1392d90 Quote:[color=var(--color-byline-authors)]BY JAKE BLEIBERG RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - basballguy - 12-11-2023 (12-09-2023, 06:31 PM)Belsnickel Wrote: Actually, that is not what happened.

Essentially, the court has said that they don't want anything to happen until they make their ruling. We now know the answer Quote: “The exception requires a doctor to decide whether Ms. Cox’s difficulties pose such risks,” the ruling continues. “(A doctor) 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.” Seems like people should be upset with the doctor and not Ken Paxton. RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - NATI BENGALS - 12-12-2023 Had a hard time understanding why I kept seeing headlines that said the Texas supreme court ruled against the lady, but said it's up to the doctor. And that makes some sense as to why I'm seeing those headlines. But I think it just sets it up to end up back in court. Doctor performs an abortion and Paxton presses charges on the doctor and it's back in court. It's still pretty easy to go after the GOP on this. Without them. This doctor doesn't fear being thrown in jail and doesn't have to worry about spending time in court instead of caring for patients.

Which knowing the make up of that court was not a real surprise. The plaintiff, however, by the time the ruling came down had already left the state to obtain the medical she needed. It remains to be seen if this case is further appealed in order to continue the challenge to the vagueness of the law or if Paxton will go after any of her family, friends, or medical team who may have known about her plans to leave the state. Helping someone is also illegal in Texas.

Worst case, everyone was exaggerating the risks in an effort to get the abortion. I get it, most parents don’t want to raise a child with defects (assuming it makes it that far)…that’s why we always pray for a healthy baby during pregnancy. But the law is the law and it’s to protect unborn children from malicious parents that make shit up just so they can escape pregnancy. If you don’t like the law go to another state…which is what this lady did. I got no problem with that.

All cases the court decided that even though there are exceptions...this one didn't reach a level that would allow them to get involved. Now everyone who helped her leave the state will be at risk of being charged because Texas doesn't even want to allow people to leave the state for medical care. As to the bold: That is one of the most disgusting takes I've seen on this board and that says a lot. I'd suggest you feel ashamed for saying it but I know better around here.

RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - Nately120 - 12-12-2023 Can we just compromise and have all abortions in Texas be performed via assault rifle so the politicians will ignore them and declare them to be inevitable? Hell, put Alex Jones (I almost put Alex Smith) on the abortion clinic payroll and when a woman walks out post-abortion he can convince the protestors that there was no kid in the first place to even be killed.

How about we just have the doctor back up their claim about the health issues and submit it in their paperwork? There was a path to a successful abortion in Texas and for whatever reason it wasn’t followed. We don’t get to pick and chose what laws are enforced. RE: Roe Vs Wade Overturned - Luvnit2 - 12-12-2023 I think in ANY case when the risk of the woman is greater than 50% to survive, there should be no law stopping the abortion. I disagree with the Texas Supreme Court decision, but the issue is not the Supreme Court, it is the way the Texas abortion law is written. I don't think anyone can appeal the Texas Supreme Court decision, they have final say. The answer is to revisit the Texas abortion law and attempt to get the law changed. I feel bad for this woman and her family and pray she had a successful abortion. The good news is the US is a big place with different thoughts and different laws on abortion. At least she was able to get it done in another state legally. |
