Out of curiosity, would the clinic operates have grounds to sue Texas?
Iâm sorry but I hate those rotten motherfkers who thought it was âOKâ to screw with womenâs health because of politics. Weâve since learned it had NOTHING to do with caring about life since so many other decisions they make donât make that a distinction. There is a special place in Hell for Perry, Abbott and the smarmy lilâ bastard who can no longer âprotect womenââŚARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG.
âThe evil that men do lives after themâŚâ
So what are the bets on the texas legislature being called into âemergencyâ session to pass some dogâs breakfast that pretends to not fall under the behavior the supreme court has just proscribed?
NahâŚtheyâll just release some BS that it is REALLY a âstateâs rightsâ issue and even though they took it to the Supremes itâs all OBAMA!s fault so they arenât gonna listenâŚsecession, rebels, BS BS BS.
Texas, bloody fucking Texas. Run for your lives. Thatâs what I did. Itâs likely to get worse there before it gets better.
Iâd say probably close to 90%.
Yeah, my first thought after hearing about the decision was, âThatâs great, but where are you going to find the contractors, the mortgage lenders, the suppliers, the doctors and nurses and everything involved in reopening these clinics when the anti-choice advocates can organize hateful campaigns to drive those people/companies out?â Theoretically great news. Practically, womenâs health clinics still face enormous roadblocks.
(BTW, couldnât some of them stay open on the basis of providing all the other health programs - breast cancer screening, pregnancy testing, etc., while this was being litigated?)
Well, there was never any real doubt about that.
And that is the most infuriating part of the whole charade.
Too bad those nits on the 5th circuit canât be personally sanctioned for ignoring the clear precedent when they rejected the motion that their ruling be put on hold till SCOTUS ruled. See the last paragraph: (https://www.texastribune.org/2015/06/19/federal-appeals-court-rejects-halt-abortion-restri/)
If they canât build clinics right now, maybe they could buy a large mobile home, convert it into a clinic & haul it around Texas. Maybe several of them.
Provocative thought. I like it. Good idea.
Wow, another very, very good idea. You might send that one to NARAL in Texas.
I was really really afraid of this happening. Itâs just not possible to be shutdown for that long, and âboomâ just re-open. Any one know of any good resources for donating that could go directly towards reestablishing some of the shuttered Texas clinics?

âOut of curiosity, would the clinic operates have grounds to sue Texas?â
I donât see it. Texas passed a law and administered it in the ordinary course. It was later struck down? I would say, âso what?â Legally.
Morally itâs terrible. Over half the abortion clinics are wiped out! So itâs a victory for the nutballs!
But unless we elect Trump, itâs the last such victory in a good long time! And the laws of quite a few other bible-belt states are eggshell-vulnerable and will be attacked!
or RVs! I saw a lot of yuuuge ones on I 40 on a recent road tripâŚthey could easily be set up to accommodate an intake, OR. and recovery areaâŚ
Huh, I keep looking at that document the GOP says they worshipâthe constitutionâand I swear I canât find anything in there that gives government the right to prevent doctors from administering health-care. Maybe Iâm looking in the wrong section? Perhaps Governor Abbott can point me in the right directionâŚ
Most abortion clinics donât have a doctor on site, except for the days that they come in to perform abortions. Once the ABâs stop, then you donât have anyone with a medical license on staff for the rest of the clinic to operate under.
Plus clinics simply donât make a profit to begin with. (I suspect that the only reason that most of them arenât nonprofits is because that would open up their records to the panty sniffers.) Not only does the main revenue stream stop, donations are also going to go to the clinics still providing abortion care. Lawsuits also donât pay for themselves. Thereâs only so much pro-choice money to go around, and non-functioning clinics arenât going to be first priority.
Itâs a nice thought, but not practical.
