Would someone mind pointing out to the lying moron that I've never said that Alabama ruling was incorrect as a matter of Alabama law? Unpopular as all hell and a grave threat to freedom, sure. But that's a natural consequence of
Dobbs, which the American people are in the process of understanding.
Then there's
this story of the Texas hospital (Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital) that refused to treat a woman's life-threatening ectopic pregnancy. But the time she succeeded in getting treatment, her fallopian tube had started to burst. The experience converted her previously anti-choice mother to a pro-choice advocate, now that she's seen exactly what the loss of freedom can mean to her personally.
Caroline Kitchener wrote:When Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022, the two had argued fiercely about what a near-total abortion ban would mean for women in the state — with Norris-De La Cruz fearing a loss of personal freedoms, and Lloyd welcoming new protections for babies who couldn’t speak up for themselves.
Initially, Lloyd said, she thought the Texas abortion law would only affect people who decided they didn’t want to be pregnant — never imagining it could prevent women from accessing lifesaving care. Now, she said, she has completely changed her mind about abortion bans.
“I didn’t realize how far it had gone,” she said. “But it has happened to my life now, with my daughter."
“Her life has been in danger and affected by someone who was too afraid to help.”
And I'll challenge anyone who things that Judge Engeron's opinion was wrong to explain (by quoting language) exactly what he got wrong and why it's wrong. Because that's exactly what Donny's going to have to do on appeal. --Bob
