(572 posts)Yeah the supreme court did nothing about the 6 week abortion law and the 10000 bounty on PG women or anyone who helps them obtain an AB. Anyone. A driver an aunt the doctor anyone. You can go anonymously to a Texas right to life website and turn them in for a ten grand bounty

(305 posts)myself on this one ☹️ They will have blood on their hands when a young woman gets a back street ab.
This needs to go to the Supreme Court because roe v wade specifically states up to 26 weeks.
Im going to take a shower. Im almost sorry I asked.

This is one of the ways in which the fascists plan to rip the country to shreds. They weaponize everything and have infiltrated our government and are using it against us.
So I wonder if there is a violation of any HIPPA regulations or something here that could be challenged, but I digress.
Roe v Wade itself is on the chopping block next.

Im not much of a country western music fan but he did a couple funny songs that werent that bad.
IDK about money grubbing but I think it more like he felt it his patriotic duty as a Republican shit head to show up and perform.
But with the ridiculous amount of unaccounted for money donated to this cause he may well have picked up a few million for all I know.
Somebody sure did

(19,253 posts)Rich Texans will just go out of state for an abortion, or if they find out they're pregnant in time they'll have the money they need. Poor Texans won't be able to afford to go out of state, and if they find out close to 6 weeks they'll have trouble raising the money to get it done right then.
The SCOTUS needs to stop this now, it's insanity.

(2,275 posts)Perhaps the SC wants the law to go through the legal system. I'm sure this law will be heavily litigated and struck down as unconstitutional. It will be appealed and travel up to the SC and I'm sure it will be struck down . I know you have your doubts, but this law is so blatant, the SC won't have a choice
Farmer-Rick
(10,225 posts)Only very, very poor people who talk to fanatical, cruel and vicious friends and family about their plans can't get abortions?
The abortion pill can easily cross borders, it's perfectly legal in other states. As the war on drugs has proven you can't keep pills from crossing borders. How are they going to stop the abortion pill from being passed around? It's a perfectly legal pill.
Are they going to drag women back to Texas like a slaves to pregnancy, like Dred Scott? You have to be an incubator no matter the circumstances because you got born with a vagina? I bet there is already a very busy underground railroad in Texas for woman who need abortions. They are never going to stop abortions...ever. The genie is out of the bottle and they can't chain up women to their religious dogma even with immoral laws.

(5,662 posts)and maybe they tell someone who then tells a bad person who rats on them. Also a lot of people don't know about the abortion pill. This law is a problem even despite the wide availability of the abortion pill.
