A 20-year-old woman in Collin County, Texas arrives at the emergency room to address severe bleeding. A health care provider tells the man she’s with that the woman had been nine weeks pregnant. “The biological father of the unborn child, upon learning this information, concluded that the biological mother of the unborn child had intentionally…

Same as it always was. Men believe they are entitled to own women like they would cattle or furniture. And Paxton is about as ugly as it gets. :face_vomiting:

Your Occasional (but always timely) Reminder …

“They tell you that there’s a war on women. There is no war on women. There may be a war on what’s inside of women, but there is no war on women in this country.”

I guess for the woman that has a war going on between outside forces and what is inside her, I would think that Mr. Carson’s take is a distinction without a difference. She should surely take it as a war against her.

Actually, forced pregnancy. (Republicans want to ban birth control too.)

There’s only so much about Ken Paxton I can post that isn’t obscene

This doesn’t actually make any sense.

  • the mifepristone combination isn’t supposed to have this effect
  • doctors in any Texas ER would not, I repeat, WOULD NOT treat a woman bleeding from what appeared to be a miscarriage aka “abortion” – it’s just plain illegal

Of course, the sperm depositor would see a chance for Big Money – after all, a doctor is involved! That would override any potential feelings of, you know, affection towards the subhuman individual into which he deposited his jizz.

It does, however, include the home address of Dr. Carpenter, a fact that produced gasps when TPM mentioned it during interviews with legal experts.

This was wholly by design. It is little more than the felonious Mufti Paxton issuing a fatwa with an implied death penalty.

Personal note to Paxton and the Plaintiff: “Sorry about the penis.”
Not really, Chapo.

Living here in France it was interesting to see the response - one of general horror - at the overturning of Roe v Wade. It drove the French, for all the entrenched misogyny and systemic sexism even within the French bureaucracy, to enshrine access to abortion in their constitution (which, by the way, is less ossified than ours, more plastic, and subject to relatively frequent change).

Texas, Paxton, Abbott - all absolutely monstrous.

I believe you meant “elastic” rather than plastic.

Funny how Texas has prohibited its maternal mortality review committee from looking into causes of death of pregnant/formally pregnant women.
And yes this case is doesn’t have a death, but the mentality Paxton and other’s in the state is that women’s health and live just matter.

I’m no @TXLawyer, I don’t actually personally know any of the Cruz, Paxton, Patrick, Abbott crew but I have never heard anyone who has worked with them or knew them who have a single damn nice thing to say about any of them. Yet another situation where these four fell from the top of a crooked tree and hit every single corrupt branch on the way down, only to land in a shallow pool of assholery before they hit the ground.

Yeah, hubby was a real catch. His first instinct over a marital issue is to go to court, instead of working it out or… you know, leaving… is to file a court case.

You’re right. He ain’t doing it for love. And neither is Paxton.

On account of it leads directly back to legislators practicing quack medicine.
