The Texas Supreme Court ruled against Kate Cox, the pregnant mother who sought permission to obtain an emergency abortion, on Monday.
“These laws reflect the policy choice that the Legislature has made, and the courts must respect that choice,” the court’s seven-page ruling read. The court found that Cox’s doctor, Dr. Damla Karsan, had “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.”
Cox, who is 20 weeks pregnant and a mother of two, had filed a lawsuit against Texas over its restrictive abortion bans. Her fetus was found to have a fatal condition known as Trisomy 18. The baby has no chance of survival, but under state law, there are only two options available to Cox: a vaginal delivery, or a C-section. Either option would risk her life or her ability to have children in the future.
Earlier on Monday, Cox’s lawyers said she was forced to flee the state to get medical care.
Yet more proof that republicans don’t care about babies or children, it’s all about controlling and punishing women.
At this point, I could be considered, “Republican” By the lefties, but I don’t support banning abortion. Then again, I never said I was; I am more right leaning centre. Perhaps what you are thinking is, “Conservative”
The democrats are right leaning centre. Good god, man, you don’t even know what a leftie is.
Not even leaning centre in most cases anymore…
I’d say Bernie and most of the Squad are mostly European style Social Democrats, which is center-left, but the likes of Biden, Manchin, Cuellar and Jeffries are just plain right wing and most of the leadership is much closer to them than the center.
They keep going towards the right every time the Republicans do, convinced that the tiny sliver between their rightmost and the least right wing Republicans is the majority of the population while ignoring the left completely when not demanding “unity” (read: obedience) around election time.
It’s because the money that finds its way into the party only does so at the behest of the billionaires and millionaires. If they start leaning left, with more candidates that push for labor reforms like AOC, that money gets cut off. Political parties under capitalism can only operate one way.
Well political parties under UNREGULATED capitalism, at least.
While of course far from perfect, multiparty systems in capitalist countries that HAVEN’T made legal bribes an integral part of their political system tend to have politicians MUCH more representative of the general population than in the US. Imagine that!
If you’re voting for Republicans, you’re clearly OK with all of this, regardless of what you call yourself.
And if you vote Democrat, you’re clearly OK with all they do, regardless of what you call yourself.
How’s that suit you? You are why we can’t have a civil discussion in this country. You emotional little bitches stomp all political discourse. You are hurting our country. Video may be new to many of you, but it’s Jon Stewart at his finest. That one got the show cancelled, because it was too fucking embarrassing for both sides. And if you liked that, you’ll love this.
But you can’t see that, can you? Because you’re right and they’re wrong. They have no right to speak. I mean, it’s plain as day, objectively true, you’re right.
I’m about to work on an old shotgun. Cool experiment that I…
“School children killing scum!”
I also vote straight D.
“Baby killing vermin!”
See how that works?
And you wonder how fascists like Trump and Musk find a populist voice. You have no idea where their supporters come from. What a mystery.
Here’s the part where I “get schooled” on the paradox of intolerance. Way ahead of ya kid, wasn’t born yesterday.
And if I could be more condescending, I would be.
Holy logical fallacies, Batman!
You’ve got a bunch of strawmen, you’ve got the hasty generalization fallacy, the slothful induction fallacy, you’ve of course got plenty ad hominems, a bunch of strawman combos such as a strawman-slippery slope combo or two, a no true Scotsman strawman and a strawman bandwagon fallacy and you’ve probably got one or two I missed as well.
In conclusion: you’re an idiot, arguing in bad faith, or an idiot arguing in bad faith. I’d stake money on it being the latter.
I’d ask if you vote Republican but your Temper Tantrum over your Parties own policies already answered it!
