Pro lifers kill again. They rate the right to live of potential life higher than someone who has been here for 28 years. Someone who left a husband and a child behind. I have to accept I hate pro lifers for the harm they cause. There is no justice in this world as long as these inhuman and barbaric laws are killing people. Real people, not potential people.
Vote Kamala Harris and your sisters, wives and daughters can stop dying for lack of health care when pregnant.
Pro-lifers doing a fantastic job of killing people. Truly horrific.
Dear pro lifers. This is her blood. It's on your hands now. It's not the first blood that got spilled unnecessarily, and it won't be the last. And it's on your hands. YOU made this happen.
Someone should go to prison for life over this. Jesus Christmas.
If you can't see how wrong this is, you are a broken person.
a lot of people should. this is a concerted and deliberate effort. it should start with 6 justices.
I can hear the church lady's now, "omg that's awful, how did this happen???????" Oh well, gods plan.
This avoidable and preventable death brought to you by "pro life" partisans.
Anti-choice is gaining more traction and is more accurate. Anti-choice or pro-death is more appropriate and logically consistent
A texas woman didn't die, a texas woman was murdered by the state's ignorant, bigoted, christo-fascist policy - abbott, patrick, cruz, gohmert, that cock eyed AG and the rest of them along with every complicit texas republican voter... they all have blood on their cowardly hands.
And if she didn't get murdered, she could have been charged for murder for having a miscarriage.
Pure fucking rage. Not advocating for violance but, I would vote not guilty.
Somewhat ironic username considering that’s exactly what every conservative is, smile and vote to fuck your buddy over. I’d be another on the not guilty
Ok, and? What consequences are they going to face? How will their quality of life be diminished in any way?
I'll answer for you: none, because we, the little people, do not matter. Period.
Here's hoping Allred wiped the stage with cruz enough to show a little hope to anyone with any good in them left in the state.
I have been sharpening my guillotine ... It could fix some things
I’ll bring the Murphy’s wood oil and get that frame polished up real nice
I want change by any means necessary.
Texas politicians and anti-abortion death cultists murdered this poor woman.
Many noted a striking similarity to the case of Savita Halappavanar, a 31-year-old woman who died of septic shock in 2012 after providers in Ireland refused to empty her uterus while she was miscarrying at 17 weeks. When she begged for care, a midwife told her, “This is a Catholic country.” The resulting investigation and public outcry galvanized the country to change its strict ban on abortion.
But in the wake of deaths related to abortion access in the United States, leaders who support restricting the right have not called for any reforms.
My country's aptitude for remaining entirely unmoved by preventable tragedies that utterly upend political trajectories in other nations has become one of our most globally defining traits.
I don’t understand how a miscarriage counts as abortion. The baby literally died in the womb. This law is sickening. My sister-in-law had a miscarriage last year and it’s scary to think that she could lose her life by trying to become a mother. The crazy part is her religion essentially tells women they aren’t fulfilling their duty to God if they don’t become a mother. (Mormon)
For them, abortion is extinguishing a life. In this case, the fetus, although no longer viable due to mechanical impossibility BUT still connected to the umbilical cord and inside the placenta, gave it a heartbeat. Any human intervention that would cause that heartbeat to go away, such as inducing labor, manual or physical extraction, or even manual dilation of the cervix, since the fetus being way too young to survive outside of the mother, would end up being the cause of that heartbeat going away, and thus, murder, in their eyes. All they "can" do is "Let nature run its course"
It is beyond stupid, cruel and horrible. Those laws are actively killing people through neglect.
Edit: Miscarriage does not mean the fetus "died", it merely means failure to carry to term or to point where the fetus can survive outside of the mother, which is usually flagged at 20 weeks. When labour started, at an unsustainable pregnancy length, it is counted as a miscarriage because the fetus can't survive on it's own, however it was not a spontaneous abortion because there was still a heartbeat.
Supreme Court scandal
Gun violence
Police brutality
Politicized natural disaster relief
Food insecurity
Homelessness
Drug epidemic

And, last but not least:
Fascist attempted coup
America: 🤷♂️
America: this is a very close election, we just can't make up our minds. what about palestine?
