“I never want another human being to go through what I went through. It was worse than cruel.”

After the legislature failed to act, 12 #women are now suing over #Texas abortion laws, which make it all but impossible to end a pregnancy even in some of the most dire circumstances, @sarahutch reports: https://www.texasobserver.org/clarify-abortion-pregnancy-lawsuit-texas/

@TexasObserver @sarahutch “I am pleased to say that none of the bills that want to weaken our pro-life laws have been sent in any committee to be heard,” spokesperson Amy O’Donnell said, “And we are going to keep it that way.” What she means to say is that "I am pleased to say we will be able to continue to end women & girls' lives, or in lieu of their death, leave them permanent infertile or disabled." Fu*king antiabortionist bit*h.

@TexasObserver @sarahutch And this: O’Donnell said that if doctors need clarification, that clarification should come not from the Legislature, but from other bodies such as the Texas Medical Board. Is she crazy too? This kind of legislation completely neuters any bona fide Medical Board - the GOP Lege has taken on the role of medical experts, so yes, it's on the fake medical experts to provide clarification.

Ignoring or even celebrating suffering (a la "Mother Teresa") is part of many conservative Christian callings.

@TexasObserver @sarahutch Today's "GOP" is "worse than cruel" towards women.

Today's "GOP" is a potentially homicidal disservice to Americans.

Time for the true heirs of Lincoln's party to unmask & neutralize its insurrectionary fake copy!
