      Not even real ideology, the people putting this shit front and center are doing so purely to manipulate voters and give absolutely zero fucks about the actual morality of any of these policies. As should be obvious by the adulterers, rapists, crooks, liars, and bigots that tout “Christian values” in everything other than their personal choices.

        Pretty much any of those people would just pay to have their mistress get an abortion in another state or from an underground doctor for the elite. They don’t want to pay child support.

          I get your frustration, but part of the reason I get my vaccines is to even keep those morons a little safer. It’s the same reason I work in and support public education even though I don’t have kids: some of those diseased little shitheads are gonna someday make decisions that could kill others who were just trying their best.

      Probably, there’s a lot of Nazis in MAGA after all. However, they still don’t give two shits when it’s a white woman either, at least until it affects them personally.

      https://www.texastribune.org/2024/11/01/nevaeh-crain-death-texas-abortion-ban-emtala/

      Fails and Crain believed abortion was morally wrong. The teen could only support it in the context of rape or life-threatening illness, she used to tell her mother. They didn’t care whether the government banned it, just how their Christian faith guided their own actions.

      But when her daughter got sick, Fails expected that doctors had an obligation to do everything in their power to stave off a potentially deadly emergency, even if that meant losing Lillian. In her view, they were more concerned with checking the fetal heartbeat than attending to Crain.

      This very much so is the most tragic of leopards eating faces.

    I’m waiting for the first wave of medical professionals who stand up and say “no” to harmful laws. It needs to happen. we need people to refuse unjust law without the lawsuit song and dance. Simply say NO! and help people anyways.

      While I agree with the sentiment these doctors would risk going to jail and ruin their life and also possibly their license. I totally agree that would be great to see them do it but I’m afraid that’s not how the world works. Maybe a very few of them will do so. This whole situation is fucked up and you can thank the republicans for taking the US back 50 years.

      You’re not going to get people to do that without some sort of protection for them and their families. If you’re a Dr. that can save hundreds, or be locked up because you saved 1 person, it’s a tough case for being the fall person.

      Now if they could get a union walkout nationwide (or at least statewide), then they have leverage.

      In addition to what everyone else has said so far, even if some doctors are doing this, they are probably keeping quiet about it. You and I outside of Texas will never know if anyone is violating this law until someone sues. My guess is that 3 deaths in 2 years is either vastly under reported, or there are doctors who are toeing the line of this law more closely than others.

      Hate to burst your bubble but plenty of doctors are out there that still believe this shit. I hate that I’ve seen it first hand, but they exist and they are far greater in number than you would like to know.

      Considering who we just voted into office, it’s more likely these bans will spread nationwide. To say nothing of banning birth control and plan-b.

      This is going to get so much worse.

      They think fetuses are people. That’s pretty much the extent of the thought they’ve invested in the matter. They don’t give a shit about the mother’s right to safety and body autonomy.

          That’s the only argument I’ve ever been able to get out of pro-life people. Literally all they have is “what about the rights of the fetus?” sometimes with an added touch of “women’s uterus are meant to carry babies”. Last week I had a long thread going with one of them. I’d direct you to it but a mod deleted all their comments.

      I kept on getting magasplained by a particular set of idiots about how there was no such thing as Gilead states in America, though? What happened? Almost this exact same set of idiots kept telling me that liberals were “overreacting” about Roe and women’s rights, prior to 2022.

    Those medical professionals should lose their license and go to prison, this is manslaughter.

      The governor and anyone who voted for it should be more like. The doctors will go to jail if they help.

        “Stigma and fear are there for D&Cs in a way that they are not for misoprostol,” said Dr. Alison Goulding, an OB-GYN in Houston. “Doctors assume that a D&C is not standard in Texas anymore, even in cases where it should be recommended. People are afraid: They see D&C as abortion and abortion as illegal.”

        These are cases where a D&C would still be legal under the Texas law, but doctors are still not doing it because they’re afraid to get sued by Ken Paxton. That’s malpractice.

        I get that the law is ridiculous, immoral and badly written, but that still doesn’t absolve you from your responsibility to preserving human life.

        And yeah, the Texas Governor and Republican legislature are morally responsible, and have blood on their hands, but since they’re writing the laws they can’t exactly be charged with a crime.

      I’m curious as to what you do for a living, and if any portion of the proper practice of that thing has been outlawed by the state. You must be some type of professional freedom fighter to be so self-assured in your righteousness.
