#BREAKING:

#ReproductiveRightsActivist #KateCox who fled the state of #Texas to get an #abortion so she wouldn’t lose the ability to have future children just announced she’s pregnant and the baby will be born in time to see #KamalaHarris sworn in in January.

What an amazing moment!!!

Doctors have been hesitant about providing care because of fear of criminal prosecution. A new petition to the Texas Medical Board asks for clarity regarding when emergency abortions are allowed.

Is emergency abortion guidance on the way for Texas doctors?

In Texas, abortion is illegal except when a pregnant woman has a “life-threatening physical condition” that carries “danger of death” or risks impairing a major bodily function.

I recently dreamed that Kate Cox returned to Texas after being treated out of state, and was promptly shot in the name of Christian love. It’s the only time I can remember having to actually look something up to verify that it was, in fact, just a dream. So far, anyway.

@aadbrinkman @vosje62 Ik lees niet dat in de bijbel dat abortus verboden moet worden. Ik lees vandaag in de media dat christelijke fundamentalisten abortus verboden hebben in Texas en dat vrouwen daar de staat uit moeten vluchten om levensreddende medische zorg te krijgen. #KateCox

En dat doen ze vanuit een geloof, met de bijbel in de hand

Tell Texas not to retaliate against Kate Cox for leaving the state to get a safe abortion!
On Monday, #KateCox #fled #Texas to seek an #abortion, after the #state #invoked its #authority to #force her to carry a #nonviable #pregnancy to #term. #Pregnant with what they’d hoped would be their third #child, Cox and her husband had learned that the #fetus had a #fatal #abnormality, #Trisomy18, ensuring that even if #delivered, the #child would #live a #short, #excruciating #life and #die a #painful #death.

#NikkiHaley & NH #GovSununu in an interview on #ThisWeek refuse to condemn the decision by the #Texas #SupremeCourt to not allow #KateCox to have an abortion despite the danger to her health & future reproduction, and the near certainty the baby would not survive.

"The court followed the law. That is their job!" said Haley.

NO, Nikki! THE SUPREME COURT *DECIDES* IF A LAW IS JUST. It is NOT the job of the Supreme Court of any state to simply "follow the laws" passed by the state government.
