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.
But what I’d give to see a Doctor with the fucking stones to risk their career and prison to prostrate these shitheel lawmakers by telling them that their idiotic laws would have caused said doctor to break their Hippocratic Oath and ask them what is stronger: an Oath they made before their fellow man and witnessed by God, or the poorly written letter of the law.
I’d bet the fucking house that with that argument a jury wouldn’t convict and, whilst it wouldn’t undo the harm caused by the law, it would be the first precedent set in a common law system that would make state prosecutors more wary of enforcing said law. And a law that isn’t enforced is functionally dead.
Ah yes, just as Jesus would have wanted.
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
The wrong genocidal corporate stooge won.
The high horse is about to suffer a quadruple amputation.
By the very same logic the rest of the world allowing us to tread on it to our hearts content is equally at fault.
We never could have established this idiotic sense of superiority without dozens of, if not a clear hundred client states that willingly allowed our corporate vampires a nice suckle.
They don’t call it the double Texan, it’s the double Irish that our largest firms have used to skirt international and domestic taxation for decades.
We have more extra national military bases than domestic ones because so many nations were happy to cede their freedoms for security.
The pipers bill has been in the mail a long time.
25%. That makes every forth person in the streets a fascist. And then another large chunk are fascist enablers or apologists, considering the fact that they stand unopposed. If you want to say “Not all Americans”, I got a newsflash. “Not all Chinese citizens” and “Not all Russians”. Some absolutely wonderful people live in these countries and most just want to live happy lives, free from all this bullshit. All I’m saying is I no longer see an excuse to pretend like America is any different and is most definitely not a worthy partner of the free world. Or being in my news feed as if it was my neighbor.
The only difference for now is that we relied on the US as our largest partner and thus it has more power to fuck our lives over too, but that’s temporary and something we have only ourselves to blame for. The signs were on the wall all along, and yet we believed America was somehow better. If Americans are fucking stupid, then we’re fucking delusional.
Yeah that’s not the winning line you think it is.

Yeah, and it’ll likely keep happening.
Good job, America.
Soon to be in all states.
She was 18. She was still a kid.
How can they call themselves pro-life?
How can they say they are protecting the children?

18 is a kid? I doubt any politician want kids to vote
Judaism and Islam tend to be more strict with their laws and every topic has been discussed at length millennia ago. Yet both religions aren’t anywhere near as restrictive as some of the abortion laws passed in the US, to the point these restrictive laws infringe upon the religious freedom of Jewish and Muslim women. As I understand Christianity doesn’t concern itself with abortion yet Christian nationalists in the US are obsessed with it. Perhaps their obsession is more nationalistic and less religious.
Sending someone home after diagnosing them with sepsis. People should be in prison for this.
That’d be the people holding a gun to these doctors’ careers.
Lol America - get fucked

Why take the time to write in middle English if you’re going to include a translation? You can’t assume your choices?

How can these doctors live with themselves doing this? They murdered this girl and there will be no consequences.
That’s some horseshit blaming the doctors. Blame Republican politicans.
Multiple parties can be responsible for something
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?
That’s a hypothetical situation being used to excuse their cowardice and callousness in my view
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?
For what they did to this poor girl (read the description of her death in the article) they should be facing criminal charges
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.
Then go do the schooling and put your own life on the line.
