A judge has ruled Texas' abortion ban is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications
A Texas judge says the state’s abortion ban has proven too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications and must allow exceptions without the risk of doctors facing criminal charges.
Excellent start, inch by inch get those bodily autonomy rights back
112They shouldn't have been restricted in the first place
94Fully agree, but we gotta start finding ways to fix the problem cause that ship done already sailed.
44Yea that’s true but it’s happened and we now have to claw them back.

Texas' abortion ban is too restrictive
for women with pregnancy complicationsFTFY
79I think the judges said it exactly how they meant it unfortunately.
18The "unfortunately" is weird. The judge is supposed to interpret law, not decide it. And he's determined that this law conflicts with inalienable rights in another law for a particular reason.
I understand people think it's not broad enough, but more specific is more defensible, and more likely to stick.

Your body, Abbott’s choice
49Here's the thing- if some doctor told Abbott that he could walk again if they used an aborted fetus to harvest the stem cells, he would do it in a heartbeat.
This isn't about morality because these people have no morals and we can't forget that.

Judge only "granted a temporary injunction" not made a final ruling.
Also it's pointless.
The temporary injunction is intended to last until the lawsuit is decided. But under Texas law, a ruling is automatically stayed as soon as it is appealed.
35Written in blood.
29Again.

Almost every pregnancy has "complications" The judge is trying to dance around the subject. The fact is you can't effectively ban abortion. Cave women figured it out, so banning modern women is just virtue signaling to the uneducated religious people. All these laws just remove the safety of abortion. Women with money will just travel, women with out will resort to turkey basters and chemicals, or we'll see a drastic increase in dumpster babies. If you want to stop abortion sex education and free birth control, as hundreds of other life improvement maneuvers will stop abortion.
24They don't care about stopping abortions, that's why all their policy solutions treat women as chattel.
11The cruelty is the point.

Which, it is. There are likely already woman that will have trouble conceiving or may not ever have children because doctors were not able to terminate a bad pregnancy.
