Texas won't let Kate Cox get an abortion even though her fetus has a fatal genetic anomaly and she is suffering agonizing, ongoing pain. She just sued in state court demanding the right to terminate the failed pregnancy immediately. reproductiverights.org/wp-content/u...

Ms. Cox’s physicians explained that some families with a trisomy 18 diagnosis
choose to continue their pregnancies, while others choose abortion. She was told that in her case,
there was virtually no chance that their baby would survive to birth or long afterwards, so Ms. Cox
asked about termination. Ms. Cox was shocked when her physician told her that due to Texas’s
abortion bans, as long as her baby had a heartbeat, she would not be able to obtain an abortion in
Texas. All they could do was continue to monitor the baby for cardiac activity. If the baby’s
heartbeat stopped, they could offer her a labor induction, but because of her prior C-sections,
induction carries a serious risk of uterine rupture. If the baby survived to term, Ms. Cox could
receive an induction or C-section, but it was clear to Ms. Cox that C-section was the safer option
for her health because of the risk of uterine rupture with induction given her prior two C-Sections.
Yet Ms. Cox’s physicians also explained that

Having to go before a panel of government officials to argue for your right to receive life-saving healthcare sounds an awful lot like the death panels this same party once warned us about.

THIS is what happens when out-of-touch politicians try to dictate what a woman can and can’t do with her own body. Shameful and disgusting. At this point it’s not about “saving lives” and ALL about trying to control others.

I spoke with several planned parenthood advocates while creating my newest program and you may not be surprised to hear that Ted Cruz’s staff was not very polite when their TX people went to DC to lobby.

I literally cannot fathom the trauma of being told you cannot abort a fetus, which doesn't have a chance to live, until it is literally dead inside of you. Godspeed to Kate Cox.

Shortly after Roe fell, a guy on Xitter very insistently assured me this sort of thing would never happen, there would be exceptions in the laws, everyone was getting worked up over nothing

The state is not a faceless entity. Every single individual legislator and executor of the law enforcing her suffering deserves to be help fully culpable and legally liable.

This is what happens when fucking morons with no medical background whatsoever are somehow the ones making laws about healthcare with no input from those with medical expertise. I hope she wins her case.

This shit makes me want to cry. The cruelty is abhorrent. That we (the Royal We, as I live in Canada) have allowed the erosion of rights to progress this far is devastating and painful to read about. People with a uterus really needed American men to step up & get loud about things, & they didn’t.

"No, you cannot safely remove the baby now. You have to wait until it's dead and gone and the procedures are probably gonna mess up potential for future kids before we can get it out." Heartless f*cking bastards who created that law.

Suffering and sacrificing are a woman’s lot in life according to a particular brand of religious misogyny. But hey, men will express gratitude for women for going thru that and also “Heavenly reward something something.”

Texas was a mistake. The reason Texas is so big is because it keeps all the Texan's and their bullshit away from the rest of the world. Gives us a buffer zone.

The insidious part about these laws is by denying abortion to women, being forced to continue the non-viable pregnancy has a high likelihood of destroying her ability to become pregnant again in the future.
