Texas man recounts wife's #miscarriage experience under new #abortion restrictions >>>
"What are we supposed to do?...They feel scared - the doctors feel scared."
"Everything that's she's having to do right now to get better... it's not just a reminder of the baby we lost, it's a reminder of what they put her through."
#Texas doctor who said nine-year-olds can safely give #birth appointed to maternal mortality committee >>>
The move worries reproductive justice advocates who say the state’s #abortion ban – among the strictest in the US – has placed pregnant women’s lives in jeopardy. The appointment could undermine the committee’s ability to accurately examine the impact of the law on deaths during and in the immediate aftermath of pregnancy, they say.
“This is a fight for freedom, the fundamental freedom to make decisions about one’s own body & not have their government tell them what they’re supposed to do,” the VP said.
“As we know, almost 2 yrs ago, the highest court in our land, the court of Thurgood & RBG, took a constitutional right that had been recognized from the people of America, from the women of America. And now, in states across our nation, extremists have proposed & passed #laws that criminalize doctors, punish women – laws that threatened doctors & nurses w/prison time, even for life, simply for providing #ReproductiveCare,” VP #KamalaHarris said.
A #Texas#lawyer is trying to get the names of donors to nine #abortion#funds in the state, as well as information on every abortion the funds may have assisted with since September 2021, when the state’s bounty-hunter law took effect. He’s seeking the identities of thousands of people in Texas and across the country in a move that advocates say could threaten the operations of the non-profit groups.
Doctors testified #KateCox’s #pregnancy was nonviable. When asked if he would have "allowed" Kate to have an #abortion, #VivekRamaswamy argues nonviability was not a fact, even though her dr said it was: "Not a viable pregnancy is...is...viable to what age until after birth? I think these are separate nuances and debates that we deserve to have, rather than telling the public that that baby would've never made it to term."
Woman who sued #Texas for #abortion left state to have procedure after ‘hellish’ week >
