He got summarily blasted in oral arguments with that line, when it was pointed out that what they were doing is driving Texas women to seek their doctors in NM, and he was ok with that.

The worst part is most of them are straight-up hypocrites. The moment little Suzy Jane gets knocked up by the second-string quarterback, they head for the nearest out-of-town clinic and get her taken care of.

âHB2 was an effort to improve minimum safety standards and ensure capable care for Texas women. Itâs exceedingly unfortunate that the court has taken the ability to protect womenâs health out of the hands of Texas citizens and their duly-elected representatives,â Paxton said in the statement.
âAbortion, as regulated by the State before the enactment of House Bill 2, has been shown to be much safer, in terms of minor and serious complications, than many common medical procedures not subject to such intense regulation and scrutiny.
"Additionally, risks are not appreciably lowered for patients who undergo abortions at ambulatory surgical centers as compared to nonsurgical-center facilities."
The âcost of acquiring land and constructing a new compliant clinic
will likely exceed three million dollars.â

One has to ask why only women seeking abortions were the subject of his tender concern.
Why werenât all out patient surgical clinics of all types subject to these rules?

Just more duplicity from the elected con artist who has been indicted and is on his way to a trial for fraud that could get him up to 99 years. I canât think of anyone who deserves it more.

The only real skill it takes in order to get into office in TX, is the ability to lie convincingly and with no conscience. The TX AG and the GOV are masters of the art.

Would have been good to see the two Kenâs, Paxton and Starr, standing side by side-hypocrisy, misogyny, voyeurism-they know how to take care of women.

Yeah, like Republicans care about anyoneâs health - much less womenâs.

Yes, thatâs the way Federal Constitutional Rights work. The states donât have the right to take them away. I realize people in the South have been a little slow over the years in grasping this, but the rule still holds.

Actually, they are following âThe Handmaidens Taleâ more than â1984â.
We all saw âThe Handmaidens Taleâ as a cautionary tale about Religious control of Government, Right-Wingers see it as a road-map to Christian Dominionist Rule.
