The state later clarified that it was arguing that the family care provision does not apply to an unborn child.
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08...-fetal-rights/“Just because several statutes define an individual to include an unborn child does not mean that the Fourteenth Amendment does the same,” the Texas attorney general’s office wrote in a March footnote, referring to the cons utional right to life.

Texas wants women to be poor, pregnant, sick and dependent, for some reason.
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/08...thood-lawsuit/For more than a decade, the state has been trying and failing to chase Planned Parenthood out of Texas.
Texas restricted and then banned abortion. The state removed Planned Parenthood affiliates from state-funded health programs and turned down federal dollars rather than allow Planned Parenthood to receive them. Planned Parenthood has been cut out of funding for cancer screenings, contraception, HIV prevention and sex education.
Despite this concerted effort from the highest levels of state government, Planned Parenthood’s clinic doors have remained open in Texas.
the GOP's pet judge in Texas
Last year, the state filed a federal lawsuit claiming Planned Parenthood improperly billed Medicaid for $10 million in payments during the period when the state was trying to remove the organization from the program.
Texas is seeking more than $1.8 billion in reimbursement, penalties and fees.
Planned Parenthood has called the lawsuit meritless, pointing out that there was an injunction in place that allowed it to continue to bill Medicaid during that time.
U.S. District Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk, a conservative who previously worked on anti-abortion cases as a religious liberty lawyer, will hear arguments from both sides today in Amarillo.
Idaho's trigger law is creating a maternal health care desert.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/...hts-healthcareDr Amelia Huntsberger moved to Sandpoint 11 years ago with her husband, planning to put down roots, build a medical practice and stay through retirement. She’s an OB-GYN, her husband an emergency room doctor. They both grew up in smaller cities in the north-western United States, so Sandpoint was a natural fit.
This July, the Huntsbergers’ home on a winding road on the edge of town was filled with moving boxes.
By the end of summer, they will be gone, starting over in Oregon, starting over with new jobs and new schools for their three kids, practicing medicine in a state that doesn’t leave them vulnerable to arrest or lawsuits for saving their patients’ lives. This is not what they wanted or planned, but as Huntsberger explains through intermittent tears across her patio table, leaving Idaho became their only way forward.
“Yeah, this is a conservative state. We knew that when we moved here. But it’s become very extreme. We now have some of the most extreme examples of government interference in healthcare that exists across the country,” says Huntsberger. “And there’s that irony – we are a liberty state: ‘You do you. I’ll do what I do.’ Except if you have a uterus and it’s something related to healthcare, then the government suddenly has a lot to say, without bothering to understand what they’re legislating. There’s some real willful ignorance here.”
Ripping babies from the womb "so that you may live as you wish." will be held to accounts.
How will they check?
Big government conservatives are more and more intrusive.
resembles communist Albania, tbh
Polishing the turd
Just use this quote, Winester..."It is the worst kind of poverty to kill a child so that you may live as you wish."
We had a meeting and decided to call the policy "crush women under our manly boots" -- catchy, no?
Maybe he isn't partial to his wife.
Border barriers between states?
Cray.
Roadside pregnancy tests are unlikely to pass cons utional muster but I guess I wouldn't put it past them to float the idea.
The US cons ution doesn't seem to be much of a hindrance to raw power (R)s these days. Courts are slow to catch up with states intent on violating basic rights.
Sorry, there's no way even the most Republican of Republican women would be cool with getting stopped at the border to take a 10-15 minute piss test before entering another state.
These are the same people who thought it was a cons utional crisis when grocery stores asked them to wear a small tissue over their faces. They are fine with government overreach until it affects them, and this would be one of those examples.
Hope you're right.
Abortion is health care for women with nonviable pregnancies.
Early on, she felt an unfamiliar, gnawing anxiety about this pregnancy, but she struggled to get an appointment with an obstetrician. When the nurse prac ioner said she might be having twins, she didn’t want to wait for a follow-up appointment. She went to the emergency room in Texarkana, half an hour away, where she learned there were two babies, and they might be conjoined or “mono mono,” developing in the same amniotic sac.
“We couldn’t get a straight answer, and it was just a run-around game,” she said.
To be sure, she’d have to go to a specialist three hours away in Allen. By the time she got the appointment, Levi found time off work, they coordinated travel with Angela and figured out child care, it was May and Miranda was four months pregnant.
https://www.texastribune.org/2023/10...e-pregnancies/During the ultrasound, Levi and his mom, Angela, watched the little digital screen, but Miranda kept her eyes on the tech’s face. She alone saw the moment it fell.
“She ran out of the room, and my heart sank,” Miranda said. “I knew. Something was wrong.”
This time, there was no weekslong wait for a follow-up appointment. Within a few hours, Miranda was sitting across from a maternal-fetal medicine specialist in Dallas as he pulled out a whiteboard and illustrated all the ways this pregnancy was headed for disaster.
The babies’ spines were twisted, curling in so sharply it looked, at some angles, as if they disappeared entirely. Organs were hanging out of their bodies, or hadn’t developed yet at all. One of the babies had a clubbed foot; the other, a big bubble of fluid at the top of his neck.
It was, in many ways, a simple diagnosis: As soon as these babies were born, they would die

Please, it's cold blooded murder so that one may live as they wish.
Post-birth abortion is murder and is not a thing. Tuberville is abjectly stupid or thinks you are.
(I guess it's not an either/or. Both are possible.)
