The nearly total abortion ban in Texas 9 months before Roe was overturned has raised the death of Texas women while pregnant by 56 percent compared to just 11 nationwide , a new investigation of federal public health data finds.
“There’s only one explanation for this staggering difference in maternal mortality,” said Nancy L. Cohen, president of the GEPI. “All the research points to Texas’ abortion ban as the primary driver of this alarming increase.”
“Texas, I fear, is a harbinger of what’s to come in other states,” she said.”
News from Texas just a few hours ago. A federal judge sided with the women and doctors who sued the state of Texas regarding SB8 - the state's total abortion ban and bounty on those who perform or aid pregnant people from getting abortions.
Abortion is still illegal in most cases in Texas, but this is a start. Here is a copy of the Court Order. #texas #SB8 #abortionIShealthcare https://reproductiverights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Zurawski-v-Texas_TI.pdf
“Under TX #SB8, Special Ed. students with disabilities who choose vouchers (ESAs) will NOT receive special accommodations that have been their right since 1975 under IDEA (Individual with Disabilities Education Act). Again, BEWARE. @pastors4txkids @DianeRavitch @RYHTexas @RatliffT”
Since Texas' #SB8 went into effect in September 2021, There have been dozens, but more likely hundreds of articles just like this, even verbatim calling #TheSatanicTemple the "last, best hope" for abortion rights
They have pulled in unknown hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax-exempt donations + even more in merchandise sales as some #Satanists but mostly desperate people and partisan liberals look for some way to stick it to reactionaries. Liberals especially know that leaning into a #SatanicPanic will really piss off those they hate.
But then after boosting the Temple, no journalists ever circle back around to what actually happened, if anything.
This is how the grift works: the news orgs and reporters get their clicks, TST gets its attention and money, and no one else gives a shit what really happens after that.
#intro ! I do Reproductive Justice and Immigration work in Texas right on the border in an amazing community called the Rio Grande Valley. My work involves organizing around different structural oppressions that affect Latinx/ Immigrant/Texans access to healthcare like abortion care.
State sanctioned policies like #SB8 and #immigration enforcement programs that include deportation, separation, and surveillance commit violence towards our communities.
I'm also an #abortion storyteller♥️🍄
At least one person in Texas has already been prosecuted for a miscarriage since Texas passed #SB8 (though charges have been dropped): https://www.reuters.com/world/us/prosecutor-drop-charges-against-texas-woman-over-her-abortion-2022-04-10/

A local prosecutor in Texas will dismiss criminal charges against a 26-year-old woman who was arrested for a self-induced abortion in a case that had drawn national scrutiny and led abortion rights activists to demonstrate on her behalf.
