I suppose it may be academic to some extent, as more and more OB/GYNs will surely be leaving the state. 

That's the part that matters.

Because here's how it breaks down for a doc in Texas who might provide such care: make Choice A, and Ken Paxton decides you got it wrong and you go to prison for the rest of your life.  OR, make Choice B, the woman dies, and a jury decides you got it wrong and you get a ruinous malpractice judgment against you.

OR....choice C - GTFO Texas, and go practice someplace sane that won't subject you to such idiotic choices.

Any doc who DOESN'T pick choice C really doesn't have good decisionmaking skills.

Med students are already opting out of OB-GN calls to Texas.  It's going to get worse, much worse.  I literally thought about this over the past week.  If/when my adult daughter becomes pregnant, I do not want her to visit us in Texas at any time during her pregnancy. I do not want to take the risk that while she is here, even if for just a few days, a life-threatening complication develops, and she dies because of our stupid laws.  Texas (and every other state with similar laws) is a no-go zone during pregnancy for any woman who wants to stay alive.  Again, it's the only rational decision.

Texas still has medical malpractice lawsuits?

It does.  And killing a young adult with proven wage-earning capacity is one of the few suits that can yield real damages (economic damages are not capped, only non-economic ones.  So, you can kill a baby pretty much for free (real pro-life state we got here, right?), but if you kill mom and she has any evidence of wage-earning capacity, you're fucked on damages.  Never mind the sickness of a "pro-life" state only treating your life worthwhile if you have proven evidence of earning wages, that's the law in Texas, the most "pro-life" state in America!)

Well, and those doctors just treat women.

Women aren't really full citizens/humans in Gilead, so it's no big loss.

Played golf with a retired obgyn recently. We didn’t really get into it all but he pretty much said the current state led to his decision to retire

WHY THE FUCK HAS EVERY FUCKING GIANT ASSHOLE IN AMERICA DECIDED TO MOVE TO TEXAS, PARTICULARLY AUSTIN?  We have Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Tony Hinchcliffe.....for fuck's sake, I live here, and I would fully support a nuclear strike on this town because wiping out those fucking assholes would be such a giant net gain for humanity.

Wait. Tony Hinchcliffe lives in Austin?!? Aw shit.

Texas OB/GYNs released this today. I've already said it before. My eldest daughter graduated from UT and GTFO of this piece of shit state. My second daughter has a great job here in Austin but will be looking to transfer as soon as she can, hopefully in a year or two. Most of their female friends left the state and are never coming back. I am counting down 3 years until I can retire and leave this piece of shit state. 

FUCK YOU if you are voting for the despicable pieces of shits who legislated this affront to women.

This.  More courage to stand for what's right, and to OPENLY stand against what is wrong, is what we need.  It's contagious.

Kinda this sorta thing:

Props to the docs from Odessa, Lubbock, and Nacogdoches for putting their names out there.

In the Reddit comment it was stated that many, maybe most, of the docs in the letter are in the Texas Children's Hospital network. I probably wouldn't blame your OB/GYN if she/he isn't on the list. They probably weren't aware that this letter existed. But I think this list probably echoes the thoughts and feelings of the vast majority of OB/GYNs in the state.

Will be interesting if/when those docs leave the state, and those places are left with no/limited options for OB/GYN. magat dipshits will blame cancel culture or some bullshit.

I imagine they will point out that people had babies for centuries before these communist Doctors came around. They can squat down and push out that baby and get back to work.

They'll dangle a visa at foreign doctors to get them to come and work here.   If you go look at the list of doctors in places like Victoria DeTar Hospital, it's already like 70% foreign doctors.  Most of the the rest are from Houston, Austin, and Dallas, who they pay 1-2 weeks salary to come practice there for 1 day a week.

Abbott and Patrick will use tax dollars, mainly paid by the large cities, to fund doctors to staff small town hospitals. But those small town residents will sneer at the deadbeat welfare recipients in the big cities.

What program is this? They have 90% support as is. in rural communities. Why do anything to help? The rural people just blame Obamacare for their hospitals closing (that was literally the sentiment).

my high-anxiety niece just called from Denton for a pep-talk. she picked up a shift at work (high end restaurant) to try and take her mind off it. she said they are almost fully booked with large parties tonight (8 and 10 tops)... election celebration dinners? hopefully.

she said 'even neighborhoods where old people live' in Denton are awash in Allred and H/W signs 🤞

it's a long shot but it would be so good for her mental health of Cruz could be taken down! i would love that for her soooo much!

anyways... she and her bf graduate next month (summa cum laude! UNT honors college! #proud 😊)...if Trump wins they plan to break their lease and move into our basement until they are ready to permanently relocate.

lol? 😐

The only people interfering with voting or ballot tabulation are local poll watchers (primarily of the R variety).

Close friend of my wife worked during early voting at a location here in Dallas last week and is working again today.  She said that last week she was repeatedly approached by one of the poll watchers challenging what she was doing (when apparently watchers were prohibited from any interaction with poll workers and instead were required to notify the precinct judge of any issues to be addressed).  

Ghouls.
