That Supreme Court case falls under the "be careful what you wish for, you might get it"

Republicans fucked themselves in an election year because of that court case.

[Dirks_Finale]

If the polling is accurate in swing states, thanks to this ruling, the Dems will pick up 2-3 senate seats but still lose the house by many seats.

So, the GOP will have the power of the purse and will not fund any of the looney, hard left craziness they come up with next like reparations. Or maybe they will and just allow the Dems to hang themselves with more inflation. If the economy continues to be stagnant, the GOP won't have to run anything substantive in 2024. Just hope that the Supreme court stays out of the way until then.

" pregnant Texas woman who claimed she was entitled to drive in a high occupancy vehicle lane because of her unborn child received another ticket for the same offense, authorities said Tuesday.

Brandy Bottone, a 32-year-old Plano resident, became an unlikely focal point of the nation's post-Roe debate after she was pulled over in a carpool lane June 29.

A sheriff's deputy cited her for driving alone in the HOV lane that requires drivers to have at least one other person in the car — and Bottone claimed that the one other person was the unborn child in her womb....."

GOP members of the Michigan Board of Canvassers raise their middle fingers to half a million voters, blocking an abortion rights initiative.

Chickenshit Republicans running scared after the Kansas amendment passed by twenty points.


Most of Wednesday's public comment and debate centered around the lack of spacing between words in the petition circulated by Reproductive Freedom for All.

Canvassers approved the abortion amendment's petition as to form March 23, but the petition language that was ultimately circulated to collect signatures excluded spaces between multiple words.

Opponents argued the language amounted to "gibberish" and violated the form required for state petition initiatives. The proposal's supporters said the text was still readable and the mistakes didn't amount to an error meriting the board's consideration.

“Ms. Banks is currently incarcerated indefinitely because the State will not accept her $10,000.00 cash bail and she does not qualify for a residential drug treatment,” her petition said.

Since her bond conditions required rehab, and since rehab wouldn’t take her, she continued sleeping on a jailhouse floor until Aug. 25, when an Etowah County judge released her to community corrections.

Chris Retan, executive director of Aletheia House, a substance abuse treatment provider, said they often have beds available for pregnant women and mothers. But he said judges should not order women into treatment if they do not have a substance use disorder.

While Texas law does permit exceptions for abortion in cases where the mother could die, doctors and legal experts say the law is so unclear as to have a chilling effect on medical provision. As Jezebel reported in July, Texas went so far as to sue the Biden administration over the president’s guidance informing doctors of their obligation to provide abortion care in emergency medical situations.

Pediatric arthritis patient denied meds.


14 year old Emma Thompson has debilitating rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis which has kept her in and out of the hospital for most of her life. She relies on methotrexate to help tame the effects of the disease.

But methotrexate can also be used to end ectopic pregnancies, to induce an abortion and that’s where the problem arises.

“As a mother who has had to deal with my child being very ill most of her life, I was scared, I was really worried,” said her mother Kaitlin Preble. “I was shaking. I was in tears. I didn’t know what to do.”

The young girl’s physician, Dr. Deborah Jane Power said “this was the first pediatric patient that had been denied her medication.”

She admits she was angry which spilled over into a Twitter post where she said “welcome to Arizona, she was denied because she’s female” and she said she was “livid.”

The treatment for Emma has been years in the making.

“This child’s care has taken a lot of work to get her to a place her pain is totally manageable, she can attend school in person,” said Dr. Power.

Which is echoed by her mother.

“It’s her first year and she’s in high school and it feels like a dream,” Preble said. “She’s not in a wheelchair, she has a social life and friends for the first time and a life all young people should have.”

During the first day of hearings on Sept. 27, 2022, senators reviewed the abysmal statistics for children born in Mississippi and their parents. Mississippi has the highest infant mortality rate, which measures how many infants die in Mississippi before their first birthday. New CDC data (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/infant_mortality_rates/infant_mortality.htm) released on the day of the first hearing showed that, in 2020, 8.12 out of 1,000 babies in Mississippi died before their first birthday, compared to the national average of 5.4.

CDC data also shows that Mississippi leads the nation in births to unmarried mothers (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/unmarried/unmarried.htm), preterm births (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/preterm_births/preterm.htm), miscarriages (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/nvsr/nvsr71/nvsr71-04.pdf) and low birthweight rates (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/lbw_births/lbw.htm). Mississippi has one of the nation’s highest maternal mortality rates (https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/index.cfm/31,8127,299,pdf/MS_Maternal_Mortality_Report_2019_Final.pdf). In each instance, Black and other non-white infants and mothers fared significantly worse than white ones.

From 2013 to 2016, Mississippi’s pregnancy-related maternal mortality rate was 1.9 times higher than the U.S. as a whole (https://msdh.ms.gov/msdhsite/index.cfm/31,8127,299,pdf/MS_Maternal_Mortality_Report_2019_Final.pdf), with Black women at three times the risk of white women.

More than half of Mississippi’s 82 counties do not have an OB-GYN (https://www.mississippifreepress.org/24632/doctors-mississippi-is-still-the-most-dangerous-state-for-mothers-and-babies), and many do not have hospitals. Less than a month before the Dobbs decision, a Hancock County hospital closed its labor and delivery department (https://www.seacoastecho.com/news/ochsner-hancock-to-close-labor-and-delivery-department/article_a9fd4f00-d626-11ec-9874-c366833d1a1e.html).



Hosemann’s commission in the Mississippi Senate and House Speaker Philip Gunn’s Commission on Life (https://www.mississippifreepress.org/27148/speaker-gunns-commission-on-life-to-help-families-post-pregnancy-forced-birth) in the Mississippi House are supposed to address the state’s poor maternal, fetal and infant health outcomes and propose policy solutions. But Gunn has already foreclosed several policy solutions championed by health care experts across the state.

During the last legislative term alone, Speaker Gunn killed or declined to support efforts to provide health care options (https://www.mississippifreepress.org/21646/house-political-games-kill-medicaid-extension-for-new-mothers-in-mississippi/) for new mothers. This spring, Republican Mississippi Sen. Kevin Blackwell, R-Southaven, sponsored a bill (http://billstatus.ls.state.ms.us/2022/pdf/history/SB/SB2033.xml) that would have ensured that low-income new mothers in Mississippi have access to postpartum Medicaid coverage for 12 months after giving birth. Currently, that coverage is only available for two months.

Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn said his 10-member Speaker’s Commission on Life is working on legislation “supporting and affirming life before and after birth” in a statement on Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022. He promised to name such a commission following the June 24, 2022, Dobbs ruling in which the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, allowing states including Mississippi to ban most abortions. AP Photo/Rogelio V. Solis, FileThe Republican-led Mississippi Senate voted 46-5 for the postpartum Medicaid extension. On the Senate floor, Blackwell referenced the state’s history of passing anti-abortion laws.

“I think we’ve done an excellent job of protecting the baby in the womb. But once it’s out of the womb it’s like, ‘Whoop!’ You’re on your own,” he said.

Abortion is medical care.


At 6:30 a.m. on August 2, nearly 18 weeks into her pregnancy, Mylissa Farmer experienced what doctors call a preterm premature rupture of membranes — her water broke before labor, followed by vaginal bleeding, abdominal pressure and cramping.

She went to Freeman Hospital in Joplin, where she'd been just the day before. Everything had been normal then. She and her boyfriend, Matthew McNeill, had already picked out a name for their daughter: Maeve.

But the doctors had devastating news for them on Aug. 2.

If Maeve was delivered right then, chances of survival at 17 weeks and 5 days were zero, according to the assessment and plan section of Farmer's medical records outlining the visit. And the outcome wasn't much better if they tried to hold off on delivery.

https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2022/10/04/PSPR/75b5ff88-8a63-4cbe-a33b-cd0fc5f4eb44-tJoplin_Woman00474.jpg?width=660&height=445&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp

The doctors recommended terminating the pregnancy, but 39 days after the state of Missouri banned abortions (https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/politics/2022/06/24/missouri-bans-abortion-governor-parson-activates-trigger-law-after-scotus-roe-v-wade-ruling/7686255001/), that wasn't an option, at least not in Missouri.

A year ago, the hospital could have offered a chance for the couple to say goodbye and hold their daughter, even though they knew she wouldn't survive outside the womb.

Instead, Farmer and McNeill were left to make a series of trips across three states and countless phone calls.

Mothers are disposable period, but so are their babies after they're born. The lack of concrete support and care for families puts the lie to shrill cries about the sanctity of life.


The committees are at work in almost 40 states in the U.S. and in the latest and largest compilation of such data (https://www.cdc.gov/reproductivehealth/maternal-mortality/erase-mm/data-mmrc.html), released in September by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a staggering 84% of pregnancy-related deaths were deemed preventable.


Even more striking to nurse-detectives like Sheffield-Abdullah (https://www.med.unc.edu/phyrehab/pim/directory/karen-sheffield-phd-rn-cnm/), is that 53% of the deaths occurred well after women left the hospital, between seven days and a year after delivery.
"We are so baby focused," she says. "Once the baby is here, it's almost like the mother is discarded. Like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. The mom is the wrapper, and the baby is the candy. Once you remove the wrapper, you just discard the wrapper. And what we really need to be thinking about is that fourth trimester, that time after the baby is born."


Mental health conditions were the leading underlying cause of maternal deaths between 2017 and 2019, with white and Hispanic women most likely to die from suicide or drug overdose, while cardiac problems were the leading cause of death for Black women. Both conditions occur disproportionately later in the postpartum period, according to the CDC report.

Why a Georgia Judge Roasted Alito’s Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade

Behind the scorching rhetoric lay an important point about precedent and accountability

On Tuesday, Georgia Superior Court Judge Robert C.I. McBurney struck down (https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23307351/fulton-county-abortion-ruling.pdf) Georgia’s six-week abortion ban in a thundering decision that, at least for now, restores Georgia residents’ right to choose.

a footnote that assailed the Supreme Court’s 5–4 reversal of Roe v. Wade as the product of “basic math” rather than “some mystical higher wisdom.”

At first glance, this passage might appear to be a gratuitous potshot at the five justices who overturned Roe.

But it is actually crucial to McBurney’s entire constitutional analysis—

as well as his counterintuitive assertion that the state legislature may easily and lawfully reenact the exact law that he just struck down.

they zeroed in on a theory long recognized (https://cite.case.law/ga/112/453/405703/) under Georgia law (https://casetext.com/case/grayson-robinson-stores-v-oneida-ltd) called the “void ab initio” doctrine.

Under this rule, which is at least 122 years old,

a statute’s constitutionality must be assessed based on “the date of its passage.”

If a statute was unconstitutional when signed into law, it is permanently unconstitutional and “forever void.”

This principle is not just some technicality;

it is so well established that the Georgia Supreme Court has created special rules (https://casetext.com/case/building-auth-v-state-of-ga) for its application when the state adopts a new constitution.

“At that time—the spring of 2019—everywhere in America, including Georgia,

it was unequivocally unconstitutional” to outlaw pre-viability abortions.

That means that the LIFE Act “did not become the law of Georgia when it was enacted and it is not the law of Georgia now.”

In early June 2014, an Ohio couple who were Mr. Schenck’s star donors shared a meal with Justice Alito and his wife, Martha-Ann. A day later, Gayle Wright, one of the pair, contacted Mr. Schenck, according to an email reviewed by The Times. “Rob, if you want some interesting news please call. No emails,” she wrote.

Mr. Schenck said Mrs. Wright told him that the decision would be favorable to Hobby Lobby, and that Justice Alito had written the majority opinion. Three weeks later, that’s exactly what happened.https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/us/supreme-court-leak-abortion-roe-wade.html

If men want there to be fewer abortions, they need to take more responsibility for their role in conception.

https://img.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/BBXLS3ADPFHBDKCPQSQ6WVEWEU.jpg&w=1920


In her taut, 143-page manifesto, Blair lays out 28 potent, plainspoken supporting arguments calling for greater male responsibility. She begins with simple biology—the fact that “men are 50 times more fertile than women”—making it nonsensical to place “the burden of pregnancy prevention on the person who is fertile for 24 hours a month, instead of the person who is fertile 24 hours a day, every day of their life.”



The author, a pro-choice Mormon mother of six, goes on to contrast the difficulty in accessing and using female contraception (from the pill to the patch, IUDs, and others) with the fact that male birth control—chiefly condoms and vasectomies—is “easier, cheaper, more convenient, safer, and more effective than birth control options for women."

Okay, well, what about men’s birth control? Why aren’t more men getting vasectomies or at the very least using a condom? That’s not a big ask. I could see really clearly that condoms are the opposite of women’s birth control as far as ease, accessibility, affordability, no side effects, no physical exam. You don’t need to wear one if you’re not gonna have sex that day. All the inconveniences just disappear.


You really highlight this disparity: how much of the burden is on women versus men, despite how much easier it is for men to prevent pregnancy—


…And how much more fertile they are! They’re fertile from puberty till death. Forever. Ovulation is completely unpredictable. Even if you have a very regular cycle, there’s a 10-day window where you can ovulate, and yet we are totally focused on trying to control this 12 to 24 hours....

...If someone wants there to be no abortions, great, we actually know how to reduce abortions. It’s not magic. It’s free and easily available birth control. It’s free vasectomies, it’s really excellent, age-appropriate sex ed at every grade level.

The anti-abortion movement overturned Roe — and only reduced abortions by 6%

If we examine surveys of Americans who do have abortions, about

three-quarters of them cite an inability to afford another child as among their reasons.

women with wanted but totally unviable pregnancies who have to do the same (https://www.yahoo.com/news/her-fetus-no-longer-viable-140634371.html);

can’t get care (https://health.wusf.usf.edu/health-news-florida/2022-11-21/despite-dangerous-pregnancy-complications-abortions-denied) until they are on the brink of death. The list goes on and on.

while abortions have dropped by 12,500 per month in states with new restrictions (or old ones that came into force),

they have increased by 7,140 per month in states without them.

In total, monthly abortions dropped from about 85,000 to about 79,600.

The investigation has determined that it is unlikely that the Court’s information technology (IT) systems were improperly accessed by a person outside the Court. After examining the Court’s computer devices, networks, printers, and available call and text logs, investigators have found no forensic evidence indicating who disclosed the draft opinion. They have conducted 1262 formal interviews of 97 employees, all of whom denied disclosing the opinion. Despite these efforts, investigators have been unable to determine at this time, using a preponderance of the evidence standard, the identity of the person(s)who disclosed the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v.

How US police use digital data to prosecute abortions

In late April, police in Nebraska received a tip (https://www.newschannelnebraska.com/story/46420551/multiple-people-cited-for-concealing-death-of-norfolk-infant) saying 17-year-old Celeste Burgess had given birth to a stillborn baby and buried the body.

Officers soon learned that her mother, Jessica Burgess, and a friend had helped her with transportation and burial.

The police issued citations for concealing the death of another person and false reporting.

But in June, they also charged (https://www.siouxlandproud.com/news/local-news/norfolk-woman-charged-for-burying-stillborn-faces-new-charges-of-providing-abortion/) Jessica with providing an abortion for her teenage daughter.

Police had made the discovery after obtaining a warrant that required (https://about.fb.com/news/2022/08/meta-response-nebraska-abortion-case/)

Previously, only one page of the paper form—on which a pediatrician would sign off on a student being allowed to play—would be submitted to a school. But the entire digital form will now be submitted.

"what about their emails?"


Long before the leak of a draft opinion reversing Roe v. Wade, some Supreme Court (https://www.cnn.com/specials/politics/supreme-court-nine) justices often used personal email accounts for sensitive transmissions instead of secure servers set up to guard such information, among other security lapses not made public in the court’s report (https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/read-scotus-report-dobbs/index.html) on the investigation last month.

New details revealed to CNN by multiple sources familiar with the court’s operations offer an even more detailed picture of years long lax internal procedures that could have endangered security, led to the leak and hindered an investigation into the culprit.

Supreme Court employees also used printers that didn’t produce logs – or were able to print sensitive documents off-site without tracking – and “burn bags” meant to ensure the safe destruction of materials were left open and unattended in hallways.

A single judge could outlaw the abortion pill nationwide. And that’s not even the worst of it.

Before donning his robe,

Kacsmaryk served as deputy general counsel at the far-right First Liberty Institute,

where he fought (https://www.afj.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/AFJ-Kacsmaryk-Report.pdf) LGBTQ equality, abortion, and contraception.

(He once said (https://rollcall.com/2019/06/18/judge-who-said-being-transgender-is-a-delusion-nearing-confirmation/) that being transgender is a “delusion” and scorned (https://www.thepublicdiscourse.com/2015/09/15612/) “secular libertines” who sacrifice children to their “erotic desires.”)

Since his confirmation, he has gained a reputation as perhaps the most lawless jurist in the country.
In less than three years,

Kacsmaryk has seized control over border policy (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2021/08/supreme-court-remain-in-mexico-trump-judge-biden-policy.html),

repeatedly defied the Supreme Court’s decision protecting LGBTQ employees (https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2022/10/republican-trump-federal-judges-defy-precedent.html),

It was probably inevitable that anti-abortion crusaders would shop their case to him.

The plaintiffs are anti-abortion medical associations joined by anti-abortion doctors.

Their claim is that some future patient might take mifepristone, suffer a rare side effect, then come to their practice for help, and that would qualify them for relief in federal court.

Kentucky has no exception for fetal abnormalities that aren't survivable for the fetus. Women with wanted pregnancies were denied medical care,


It was December 28. Earlier that morning, Amy, 31, her husband David, and their 20-month-old daughter Annie had celebrated a belated Christmas at their house in Louisville with family visiting from out of state. Amy and David had planned this pregnancy, and it was, in a way, perfectly timed. Their baby’s due date was five days after Annie’s birthday. Her children would be two years apart almost exactly to the day — a reality Amy was “ecstatic about.”

Sitting in a fluorescent-lit room inside Baptist Health Louisville, Amy looked for familiar shapes on the screen as an ultrasound tech probed her abdomen. Familiar with radiology in her career as a physical therapist, she has a baseline understanding of how to read ultrasounds: gray shapes usually indicate fluid, and bone shows up as white. Amy remembers seeing her baby’s arms, legs and the curve of its back. But there was no recognizable outline where the skull should be. “I couldn’t see the top of my baby’s head,” Amy said in an interview with the Herald-Leader. “I kept waiting for the tech to move the probe in a way where we could see what we should be seeing. I could tell she was searching for it, too.”


Read more at: https://www.kentucky.com/news/politics-government/article271925592.html#storylink=cpy

[Winehole23]

Over the next few minutes, Amy remembers the room blurring as she heard her doctor use the word “acrania,” which is when a fetus matures through pregnancy without ever developing parts of its skull. It can spur anencephaly, when the brain, too, is underdeveloped and partially missing. Pregnancies with either of these conditions are nonviable.

[Winehole23]

Leah, wanting to be judicious, got a more exact genetic test just before 12 weeks. She quickly learned her fetus had triploidy, a rare condition that causes the development of 69 chromosomes per cell instead of the regular 46. It causes not only severe physical deformities, but triploidy stunts development of crucial organs, like the lungs and heart. It means a fetus, if it even survives to birth, will likely not live beyond a few days. What’s more, Leah was also diagnosed with a partial molar pregnancy, which causes atypical cells to grow in the uterus and, as Leah’s doctors told her, could lead to cancer.

It was mid-July, and Kentucky’s trigger law and six week ban had been in effect for barely two weeks. Leah was familiar enough with what both laws restricted and assumed that because her pregnancy could cause her cancer and was nonviable, she would lawfully qualify as an exception. So, she weighed her options with her doctors at Baptist Health Lexington, who included Dr. Blake Bradley, her longtime OBGYN. Similar to Amy’s diagnosis, Leah’s doctors told her that even if she opted to carry the pregnancy to term, her baby “would live a short life in palliative care, most likely never leaving the hospital. It would really be a quite painful existence,” she said.

[Winehole23]

After Leah’s abortion, she sent a message to her high-risk doctor. Her doctor responded the following day. Leah shared that correspondence with the Herald-Leader.

“You’ve been on my thoughts a lot,” her doctor wrote. “Words cannot express the dismay I feel right now. I’ve spent my whole adult life learning how to care for mothers in heart wrenching or dangerous situations like yours, and the politics now make it not only impossible, but to work to take care of patients like they deserve — with compassion and science — in these horrible situations is wrong and immoral.” “I hope your procedure yesterday was smooth, though I know it was hard,” her doctor wrote. “I’m so sorry we could not (were not allowed, rather) to take care of you here.”

[Winehole23]

The state’s top law enforcement officer, Attorney General Todd Rokita, will face the judgment of the Indiana Supreme Court’s Disciplinary Commission.

FOX59 received confirmation of the matter before the commission this afternoon. A woman at the Washington law offices of Schaerr Jaffe acknowledged that managing partner Gene Schaerr has been retained by the Indiana Attorney General for a pair of legal matters.

One case is the grievance filed against Rokita with the Disciplinary Commission.

Disclosure of complaints to the commission are rare. By rules set down by the Indiana Supreme Court, matters before the commission are confidential. The only public notification comes when an attorney is punished.



Aside from the existence of an investigation of Rokita, FOX59 has no information on what exactly the Attorney General is alleged to have done to merit a review by the Disciplinary Commission.


The other matter Rokita hired Schaerr for is connected to the Attorney general’s investigation of Dr. Caitlin Bernard.

Last year, Rokita publicly announced (https://fox59.com/news/national-world/indiana-attorney-general-threatens-license-of-doctor-who-provided-abortion-to-10-year-old-rape-victim/) he was examining the details of an abortion provided by Bernard to a 10-year-old Ohio sexual assault victim. In response to the investigation, attorneys for Bernard sought an injunction against Rokita.

In a court filing, Marion County Judge Health Welch denied the request, but also wrote “the Attorney General clearly violated Indiana law discussing (his investigation of Bernard) in the media.”https://fox59.com/indiana-news/attorney-general-todd-rokita-to-face-attorney-disciplinary-commission/

Actually, One Texas Judge Is Not the Final Decision-Maker on Medication Abortion

One district judge’s ruling does not have to affect the entire country.

Though the case makes

wholly unpersuasive arguments, undermined by the facts and the evidence,

plaintiffs filed in this specific court because Kacsmaryk :lol

is one of the most conservative judges on the federal bench and has an explicit and documented animus toward abortion (https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/25/texas-judge-abortion-pill-decision/?itid=ap_carolinekitchener).

To be clear,

mifepristone is one of the most studied drugs in this country.

The evidence shows that it is safer than penicillin, Viagra (https://www.ansirh.org/sites/default/files/publications/files/mifepristone_safety_4-23-2019.pdf), and thousands of other drugs the FDA has approved.

There is no evidence that the FDA acted improperly in approving mifepristone;

FDA law scholars (https://t.co/f04TN9luc9) and government agencies, like the Government Accountability Office (https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-08-751), agree.

(If you want to read more about abortion pills, we have a forthcoming law review article available here (https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4335735) that explains all you need to know.)

So the medical basis for this argument is meritless.

Congress crafted procedures by statute (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/355) for the FDA to use to withdraw approval of a drug.

Judge Kacsmaryk :lol

cannot force the FDA to adopt another process to do the same—

doing so would violate federal law.

It's not pro-life, it's anti-woman.


The women who are bringing the suit contradict stereotypes about who receives abortions and why. Married, and some with children already, the women rejoiced at their pregnancies, only to discover that their fetuses had no chance of survival — two had no skulls, and two others were threatening the lives of their twins.

Though they faced the risk of hemorrhage or life-threatening infection from carrying those fetuses, the women were told they could not have abortions, the suit says. Some doctors refused even to suggest the option, (https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/20/us/abortion-save-mothers-life.html) or to forward medical records to another provider.

The women found themselves furtively crossing state borders to seek medical treatment outside Texas, worried that family and neighbors might report them to state authorities. In some cases, the women became so ill that they were hospitalized. One plaintiff, Amanda Zurawski, was told she was not yet sick enough to receive an abortion, then twice became septic, and was left with so much scar tissue that one of her fallopian tubes is permanently closed.

“You don’t think you’re somebody who’s going to need an abortion, let alone an abortion to save my life,” Ms. Zurawski, 35, said. “If anybody reads my story, I don’t care where they are on the political spectrum, very few people would agree there is anything pro-life about this.”

Bad for kids, bad for families, bad for Texas.

"Sanctity of life" stops at birth.


An estimated 2.7 million Texans—mostly children and new moms— are at risk of losing their Medicaid insurance in the next few months, some as early as June. That’s almost half of all Texans now on the Medicaid rolls.


For over a year, public health advocates have raised concerns (https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5728d34462cd94b84dc567ed/t/6245e6d292569346c1a08776/1648748280485/letter-to-hhsc-on-phe-march2022+.pdf) about Texas Health and Human Services’ (HHSC) ability to handle this recertification process, which begins April 1 and is expected to be finished within 12 months. State officials are apparently worried, too: HHSC recently requested an additional $143 million (https://www.hhs.texas.gov/sites/default/files/documents/hhsc-updated-exceptional-item-request-fy-2024-2025-020123.pdf) to cover more staff to process the approaching onslaught.

“It’s probably the largest enrollment event, if not the largest enrollment event since the ACA [federal Affordable Care Act],” Eubank said.

Medicaid, a federal entitlement program administered by states, provides health insurance for low-income residents who cannot afford private insurance. Nearly half of Texas children depend on the program, as do 51 percent of moms, whose prenatal care and hospital bills are covered.

In this, the most underinsured state in the country, millions of people fall outside of Medicaid coverage due to Texas’ strict eligibility criteria and Republican leaders’ refusal to accept billions of federal dollars to expand the program (https://files.kff.org/attachment/fact-sheet-medicaid-expansion-TX). The state’s requirements around income eligibility mean the vast majority of working poor Texans make too much to qualify for coverage.

A single mother of two would need to earn less than $4,000 (https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/health/medicaid-chip/medicaid-chip-programs-services/programs-children-families/medicaid-parents-caretakers#:~:text=Income%20Guidelines%20for%20Med icaid) per year to be eligible for Texas Medicaid insurance, while childless adults are ineligible no matter how poor they are. Eligibility requirements ease for single pregnant women, who may make up to $2,243 a month (https://www.hhs.texas.gov/services/health/medicaid-chip/medicaid-chip-programs-services/programs-women/medicaid-pregnant-women-chip-perinatal), but that coverage cuts off two months after birth regardless of their care needs.

What they are today is a possible overturn of RvW. I'd have to defer to the legal scholars here but states' rights seem to be the driving factor here. This is assuming anything changes at all.you didn't read the opinion. and yes, shit changed.

Florida woman whose membrane ruptured sent home to deliver a dead baby.


Anya Cook did not want to push. But sitting on the toilet, legs splayed wide, she knew she didn’t have a choice.

She was about to deliver her baby alone in the bathroom of a hair salon. On this Thursday afternoon in mid-December, about five months before her due date, she knew the baby would not be born alive.


Over the course of the day, according to medical records, Cook would lose roughly half the blood in her body.

She had intended to deliver the fetus in a hospital, a doctor by her side. When her water broke the night before — at least six weeks ahead of when a fetus could survive on its own — she drove straight to the emergency room, where she said the doctor explained that she was experiencing pre-viability preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes (PPROM), which occurs in less than 1 percent of pregnancies. The condition can cause significant complications, including infection and hemorrhage, that can threaten the health or life of the mother, according to multiple studies.

At the hospital in Coral Springs, Fla., Cook received antibiotics, records show. Then she was sent home to wait.

Cook’s experience reflects a new reality playing out in hospitals in antiabortion states across the country — where because of newly enacted abortion bans, people with potentially life-threatening pregnancy complications are being denied care that was readily available before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June.https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/04/10/pprom-florida-abortion-ban/

South Carolina


The South Carolina state Senate rejected a near-total abortion ban on Thursday, after the chamber’s five female lawmakers led a multiday filibuster against the bill.

Three Republicans, a Democrat and an Independent joined together as the only five women in the state Senate to block the legislation, which sought to ban abortion from conception with exceptions for rape, incest, fatal fetal anomalies and to save the life of the mother.

The bill ultimately failed in a 22-21 vote on Thursday. This is the third time that a near-total abortion ban has failed to pass the Republican-majority chamber since the overturning of Roe v. Wade last June.


“The only thing that we can do when you all, you men in the chamber, metaphorically keep slapping women by raising abortion again and again and again, is for us to slap you back with our words,” Republican state Sen. Sandy Senn said, according to The Associated Press (https://apnews.com/article/south-carolina-abortion-ban-legislature-8a3d4c18db8aabfc869b9466aa4f76aa).

"They were very sincere, they weren't trying to be mean," she says. "They said, 'The best we can tell you to do is sit in the parking lot, and if anything else happens, we will be ready to help you. But we cannot touch you unless you are crashing in front of us or your blood pressure goes so high that you are fixing to have a heart attack.'"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/05/01/1172973274/oklahoma-abortion-ban-exception-life-of-mother-molar-pregnancy

Women's health is not a priority for Republican assholes.


A recent survey found that about 40 percent of Idaho's OB-GYNs are considering leaving the state. That will affect women who rely on OB-GYNs for routine and urgent gynecological care unrelated to pregnancy, like menstrual disorders, endometriosis, and pelvic pain.https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/idahos-strict-abortion-laws-create-uncertainty-for-ob-gyns-in-the-state

what's the good government rationale for denying care to women with nonviable pregnancies?


"The pregnant patient has a life-threatening physical condition aggravated by, caused by, or arising from a pregnancy, That condition places the pregnant patient at 'risk of death;' That condition poses a 'serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function'," doctors wrote in her admission medical records.

It was only a few hours later, when they spoke with Anaya's OB/GYN, that the couple said they realized their baby girl — who they named Tylee — would not survive.

But the couple had no time to process the devastating news -- Anaya's OB/GYN told her she would "get very sick," before doctors could help her, she told ABC News.

"So it would have been avoidable -- me going into sepsis -- if they were able to induce labor. The quicker they could get Tylee delivered, the better chance they had at me not going into sepsis. However, Tylee still had a heartbeat," Anaya said.

"My husband and I are being told that 'not only did we lose Tylee, but now you're gonna go into sepsis and there's nothing we can do about it other than watch you because of the abortion laws in Texas,'" Anaya said doctors told them.

D&E was not offered; the patient suffered, and is still suffering from, complications.


Kristen Anaya said she then began to get sicker, with a high fever, shaking uncontrollably for hours and vomiting at least 8 times.

"They were going to be monitoring me, doing bloodwork every three hours, monitoring my vitals and 'building a case' to prove that my life was in great danger and they needed to induce labor," she said.

Medical records show that Anaya's lactic acid reached 2.8 mmol/L before she was induced — the normal range is between 0.4 to 2.0 mmol/L. Her white blood cell count went up to 17.6 k/uL, while the healthy range is between 4.5 to 11 k/uL.

When she was admitted to the hospital, her lactic acid was 1.5 mmol/L and her white blood cell count was 12.3 k/uL, according to her medical records.

"I was crying, asking for help. And I remember them literally not saying anything. [The doctors and nurses] would just literally look at me and look at Stephen and they're just blank. There's literally nothing they could do," Anaya said.

She added, "I'm freezing, shaking so hard that I had body aches for a week after getting discharged from the hospital because my body was so tense and just shaking uncontrollably."

Once Anaya's test results met the threshold doctors had set, the hospital approved the abortion. She still had to wait from 30 minutes to an hour until the paperwork was in the system before her labor could be induced, according to her.

Despite a dilation and evacuation procedure being more effective at removing all the fetal tissue and the placenta, according to Gariepy, Anaya said she was only offered a labor induction.

The placenta usually detaches itself once a pregnancy is full term. By inducing labor and not performing the surgical procedure there is a risk the placenta will not be delivered, Gariepy said.

"There's a 25% chance of still needing surgery [after induction] because the placenta get stuck," Gariepy said.

Even after receiving four rounds of induction medication, Anaya's placenta was not delivered, according to her medical records.

She has since needed two dilation and curettage procedures to remove the placenta and stop her bleeding. The first was during her 5-day hospital stay.

Then, Anaya began bleeding heavily in early May and needed a second procedure to remove placenta tissue, her medical records show.

The hospital where Anaya received care, and her physician did not immediately respond to ABC News' request for comment.

She said she is still having pain and complications and her cervix was still dilated at an appointment last week, despite delivering on April 16. Doctors said her uterus still does not look normal, Anaya said.

"I'm kind of in a gray area, I'm not taking the path of recovery that they would expect. Because I'm still having some complications," Anaya said. "They're really unsure as to why I'm still feeling the way that I'm feeling and so we're kind of gonna wait and see."
