Of the shitty things Paxton has done, this one probably deserves a wait and see approach.  If she really was performing abortions without a medical license, then that shouldn't be happening (regardless of any abortion ban) and it would be monumentally stupid on the accused's part.

 

People throughout history, most often women, have always risked their personal freedom and social reputation to provide reproductive healthcare.

that makes sense, but to be clear Paxton does not have the benefit of the doubt from me.

Were it not for the abortion ban, I’d agree that abortions ought only be done by licensed doctors. I will focus my anger at those who lied under oath to get into a position to upend a right that was recognized, and those who seek the harshest penalties for the crime of exercising a right.The only way to rescind a right held by US citizens is a Constitutional Amendment.

This week, Republican State Representative Charlie Geren put forth the Life of the Mother Act in the Texas House. A similar bill was introduced in the state Senate. While the new law wouldn’t expand abortion access, it would spell out the circumstances in which doctors are allowed to provide abortion: if the woman “has a physical condition” from pregnancy that puts her “at risk of death or poses a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function unless the abortion is performed or induced.”

Who could have predicted legislating medical decisions would end poorly for Texas women?

No, Dan. “Women have died” is passive voice. “Because Republicans have killed numerous Texas women” is active voice, and more accurate. Do better, Dan.

Cue #bothsides clown to give us racial equivocations.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion in 2021, ProPublica found in a first-of-its-kind data analysis. 

The rate of sepsis shot up more than 50% for women hospitalized when they lost their pregnancies in the second trimester, ProPublica found.

I remain impressed by ProPublica as a source of cutting edge well executed epidemiological research. 

It wouldn't really be hard to do a good DID policy analysis here.

New York tells Paxton to fuck off with his suit against a NY doctor sending prescriptions for Plan B medication to Texas woman.

Quote

A New York county clerk on Thursday refused to enforce a Texas court fine against a New York doctor accused of mailing abortion pills across state lines – a move that tees up a dramatic showdown between states that protect abortion rights and those that have banned the procedure. The clash will probably end up in front of the US supreme court.

It’s misogynists, all the way down to Hell.

Quote

The Trump administration announced on Tuesday that it would revoke guidance to the nation’s hospitals that directed them to provide emergency abortions for women when they are necessary to stabilize their medical condition. 

That guidance was issued to hospitals in 2022, weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court upended national abortion rights in the U.S. It was an effort by the Biden administration to preserve abortion access for extreme cases in which women were experiencing medical emergencies and needed an abortion to prevent organ loss or severe hemorrhaging, among other serious complications. 

The Biden administration had argued that hospitals — including ones in states with near-total bans — needed to provide emergency abortions under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act. That law requires emergency rooms that receive Medicare dollars to provide an exam and stabilizing treatment for all patients. Nearly all emergency rooms in the U.S. rely on Medicare funds.

Someone please tell me why rulings that conservatives favor are immediate and nationwide, while rulings that restrain the executive branch are put on the shelf while SCOTUS goes to the corners.

Quote

A 2024 federal rule that shielded reproductive health information from disclosure to law enforcement when care was legally obtained, such as in another state with abortion access, was struck down by a federal judge in Texas on Wednesday evening.

U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk of Texas’s decision applied nationwide, nullifying the rule immediately. Kacsmaryk had temporarily blocked its enforcement against Dr. Carmen Purl, who sued HHS because she said the rule created a conflict with the laws requiring her to report child abuse.

Didn’t some of the rulings restraining Obama’s actions go into effect immediately? And didn’t at least one or two of those rulings come from a judge in Texas?

Also, Kacsmaryk is a total douchebag.
