    I don’t fault the doctors - they couldn’t perform the abortion without risking their own careers and possibly prison. The Texas legislature sacrificed that woman and others for Christian magic rattle-shaking.

      Doctors see it as triage. If they step in and help her then how many patients will die because they were stripped of their license and imprisoned?

          Funny thing about life imprisonment. Most people aren’t willing to risk it. Maybe you’re the one willing to go through 12 years of training to do so though?

              No that’s the standard of care under Texas’ new laws. Getting mad at the doctors who won’t destroy their own lives is as useless as getting mad at immigrants.

              Fucking vote.

                I already fucking voted, it didn’t do shit. I don’t have the power. The doctors did have the power to make a choice to save her life NOW and they chose to let her die in a horrific way. I will not accept some flimsy, ambiguous and untested law as excuse for medical murder.

    This is gonna be very insensitive, but ever since Americans gave a well known rapist and resident creep the presidency in a clear victory, I kinda stopped giving a shit about em. Americans routinely shit on the same human values the rest of the free world aspires to. Just read the UN human rights, Republicans openly oppose most of what’s written there and Democrats don’t care much either.

    I mean women dying horrifying deaths in Russia, India or China rarely make the news, why should America be any different? It’s fucking sad, but apparently that’s what the American people want. Who am I to impose my foreign way of life on em? I was clearly mistaken to belive that the US has anything in common with us.

      Just be more accurate: it’s about 25% of americans who are traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump. It’s way not even close to half, to say nothing of all.

      If this person was one of them, then yes, do save your sadness for elsewhere. Otherwise, it’s like it happening to you.

        Which means that less than 25% were willing to stand against the traitorous, backstabbing nazi cunts who voted for Trump.

        I don’t feel better about the situation
