No one could’ve predicted this. If only we had experts in women’s health to tell us what would happen in advance of health legislation to avoid these kinds of horrible incidents.
Such a shame that nothing could’ve been done to prevent this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You're so wrong. Did you forget about thoughts and prayers?
Gonna add a /s in case this went over anyone's head...
Oh I thought it was rocks and pavers. You know, as an adequate reaction to whatever this government does to it's citizens.
But isn't it tots and pears? Or maybe I'm just hungry
The cruelty is the point
aw shit, horrors beyond imagining! finally some of the shit I was promised coming true!
I'm confused by the tone of your message
just be'in enthusiastic about the local horrible shit and incoming confluence of dystopias. you know, cool endangered bear about to maul me, really interesting virus I caught, this water im drowning in is so clear.
edit: people always tell me to be more positive and see silver linings, but they get maaaaaad when I do.
Motherfucker, where are you getting clear water from? And you didn't tell us?!
I didn't, or I'd drown in that shit SO FAST
Hello I'm here to fuck with bears
there's a game for that.
Oh wow, you mean the laws designed to hurt women are hurting women?
Republicans, ladies and gentlemen. A round of applause, please.
trump and the republican party did this. It's a feature, not a bug. This is what they want.
They want doctors afraid.
Pro life? go fuck yourselves.
They just want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.
They want women afraid. The doctors are just collateral damage. It's not about children and it never was (if they cared about cheap labour and disposable soldiers they'd embrace immigration instead), it's about controlling women.
Didn't even have to click the link to say:
"If you're prebirth, you're fine. If you're preschool, you're FUCKED."
When ever I see a story like this I always wonder if the women affected are republicans, and if so, will they remain republicans after their ordeal.
For fuck sake, they're lucky that's all they lost.
Everything is going according to plan in Texas.
I’m shocked
