Poll: Should Texas prevent a pregnant woman with fetal abnormalities from obtaining an abortion?

[UNCjigga]

I LOL at well-off white women being run out of state to have life-saving abortions--when I know full well how many of them voted these rat-bastards into positions of power over their wombs.

Double LOL at the TX Supreme Court taking umbrage with this women’s doctor using the phrase “It is my good faith” before giving all the science-based medical reasons why her patient’s pregnancy should be terminated—I just know some haughty conservative judge was aghast at the doc’s gall for putting her faith above the word of God.

All the women suing the state should be asked did you vote Republican in the last election? Tough question for them but would make a broader point.

Need some white teen girls dying from coat hanger abortions again. People have forgotten how bad things were before Roe. It's like anti-vaxers they just can't imagine the consequences of their positions because they haven't lived them yet.

Feels kind of like when the Taliban came back in power and stopped girl's education. We had pictures of girls crying as they were tunred away for school. Now Christian fundamentalist taking away reproductive rights from women right here in America.

Religious fundamentalism of all kinds must be resisted.

Not a bad take at all...

 

[Pohemi]

I don't wish this in any way but it's going to take the death of a woman to even have a chance of those pricks being voted out.

Meh. Two words for you: Sandy Hook.
White woman or not, it isn't going to change minds outside the immediate circle of women affected IMHO.

Right wingers just made up bullshit to point the finger of evil at Democrats.

Like CRT in primary grade schools (and other supposed grooming, indoctrination, etc). Or pedophelia pizza parlors. And so on and so forth.

I get your point and I'd like to agree, but I don't think anyone should be required to reveal who they voted for. Like what you do in your bedroom, I think it's nobody's business but your own.

Both have been trying for years, so neither was shocking to me. Both groups are evil due to their religious oppression IMO.

Need some State Legislators' or even Federal ones, white teen girls dying from coat hanger abortions again. People have forgotten how bad things were before Roe. It's like anti-vaxers they just can't imagine the consequences of their positions because they haven't lived them yet.

FTFY

Can anyone find an at length discussion of this case on any Fox News show? I can’t find one searching. I want to see one of those taking heads defend Texas

Or is this another instance they are just going to try and keep this information from their people?’

Confirmation of my suspicion. Fox is keeping their peeps ignorant

Fox News buried the story of a Texas woman prevented from getting an emergency abortion

Fox News has barely covered the story of Kate Cox, a Texas woman who sought to terminate her pregnancy due to the fetus’s fatal diagnosis but had her court-ordered emergency abortion halted after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton petitioned the Texas Supreme Court. Instead, one Fox show opted to...

And for 35% of America, since Fox ignored it, therefore it never actually happened ~ just another liberal lie, fake story!

There should be an option for "Depends on what type of abnormality." But for this particular situation, it is a definite no.

Biden should invite Kate Cox to a White House press conference and present and confront and humiliate Fox News right there and then. Even if Fox News threatens to sue, Biden could mock Trump and use the "I am president" statement that Trump used everyday during office.

On a side note, we actually should be arguing as to why ABC, NBC, CNN, and others do not have full coverage in this country compared to Fox News. For example the next big town to the west of Las Vegas is Parhump, and there the only news channels available according to Wikipedia are Fox, OANN, and NewsMax. To me this seems more like a news coverage problem.

 

[Amol S.]

Get this...... the comment section of the most recent article on FN website is flooded with conservative and pro-lifers claiming that the politicians should not have a right to decide over the mothers decision in such instances.

Texas Supreme Court rules against pregnant woman hours after she leaves state to obtain abortion

A Texas pregnant woman has left the state to obtain an abortion procedure hours before the state supreme court ruled against her request seeking permission for the procedure.

The option should be the doctor and the woman make the call. Period!

Don’t mock Trump but mock Fox News for
ignoring the story. Send a message to all women their new plight created by SCOTUS and red states. Invite Kate Cox to make a statement if she wants.

I notice the double post problem has not been solved yet in the past year.

The bigger question is are they going to vote republican in the next election? A question I am really scared to ask.

I told my sister in law she should escape Texas. She's not ready yet but I think I can convince her in another year or two

 

[HomerJS]

Article says only 2 instances of Fox News shos discussing the Kate Cox stoty. Here is one of those unicorns. Oddly enough the sub host brings up abortion allowing Jessica Tarlov to run with it. She usually get talked over and I'm surprised the others remained silent minus the KAC snark. The was also no debate on the topic.

My educated guess this is their "see we discussed it card" giving them deniability for suppressing the story.

Jessica Tarlov Slams Kellyanne Conway Back In Her Place

Fox's Jessica Tarlov shot down the notion that Democrats are the only ones that care about women's reproductive rights since SCOTUS overturned Roe, and turned the discussion to Kate Cox, who was forced to flee the state of Texas to get an abortion, something the network obviously doesn't want...

Just a little levity

How about instead of creating a laundry list of what sort of abnormalities would allow it (which would almost certainly still miss some circumstances) we just leave this health care decision to the people directly involved in it?

 

[brycejones]

That’s for the woman and her medical team to determine. Get the state out of time sensitive healthcare decision making.

Seriously a bunch of ignorant state legislators attempting to define medical conditions and a shit heel state AG imposing his own interpretation of what the law means is the biggest reason the so-called "exception" really provides no exceptions.
