“Leave it up to the states” they said, so she went outside her state to get the care she needed and now that doctor is getting sued by her state for literally just doing what doctors do - providing safe, effective care. Stop letting politicians who failed biology dictate medical care.
Ken Paxton wants complete control over women’s bodies, where women travel, what books kids read, everyone’s ability to purchase cannabis, and your ability to access mail in ballots. He calls all this “freedom.”
Standing is going to be an issue: Texas likely doesn't have the standing to sue someone for an act committed in New York that is legal in New York. The federal government, not the state of Texas, has jurisdiction over interstate commerce.
That isn't going to make a difference as far as the justice system is concerned. I am not a doomer: I'm hoping for the best but I will also be one of the first to protest/riot if necessary. I am principled in my stance of democracy and an independent and fair justice system.
I can see this action descending into states dropping some or all of their reciprocal compacts. Examples:
Paxton sues, NY drops its extradition compact with Texas.
Texas retaliates by dropping its marriage recognition compact with New York.
Coming soon, the Balkanized states of North America.
So a lawsuit made by a man, because he was pissed that his wife made a possibly life-saving decision over her own body. Please make it make sense for me......
What’s next? Preventing people from moving away to get free of Nazism? Don’t think for a second that Republicans aren’t working on that very thing—after they rescind women’s voting rights.
Endangering patients doesn't count. There's an entire industry that makes billions putting itself between healthcare and patients arbitrarily, and your nation has voted the supporters of that industry into every level of government.
We have people going to court over custody of house plants. We know it's all bs. If everything is a numbers game, use the publicity as a spring board to convince the big money it's in their best interest.
You got people hoping their case will cost more to fight than pay off.
That doesn't work with a multi billion dollar industry who literally write their own rules and can ignore them if they do desire, and have total government backing to block you from any claims at all for no reason.
These fuckers are testing the waters to push other right wing states to do the same.
Texans continue to vote these sadist men into power.
Women of child bearing ages should move out of Texas to protect themselves. TANKING the states economy may be the only way to slap back at these Republicans.
ok problem paxton n texas right wing anti freedom idiots do not value life of women thats a lie. maybe media start calling that out their no both sides here.
Republican Texans should worry more about the 4.9 million Texans without healthcare. Thousands will die/go bankrupt because the GOP don't care! Texas is the most health uninsured state in USA! Republicans care more about fetus cells than the health of living human beings.
Our Republican legislators don’t really care about babies or children. They only care about the “Christian Evangelical” vote! Once a child is born, their attitude is get out of that baby bed and go buy your own diapers and milk. Once born, you’re on your own! Go get a job!
( After the woman sought medical attention for severe bleeding in July, the “biological father of the unborn child” suspected that she had sought to end her pregnancy without informing him and found the abortion pills, according to the lawsuit.) ….
I cannot stand Paxton. His only career goal is inserting himself into situations where he knows absolutely nothing, has no expertise, and lacks basic human dignity.
Did the Doctor suddenly become an imbicile because the telecall crossed state lines? The way he frames it as " that out of state Doctor"
🤷😆
I would bet that a NY Doctor is better regulated than a Texas Doctor.
Besides that? Fuck off Texas. None of your business!

These people do not belong in a civilized society.
I mean, you CAN sue, best of luck though. Your countrymen voted for this
