The stakes are high for doctors in TX when it comes to abortion.
With 3 overlapping laws, TX bans nearly all abortions & has some of the strictest penalties for doctors in the US, incl. thousands of$ in fines, the loss of a medical license & even life in prison.
“'After going through all this I wondered, why are we not the poster child for abortion rights?' said Riata Little Walker, who traveled from her home in Casper, Wyo., for an abortion in Colorado at 22 weeks, after doctors diagnosed Down syndrome and a heart defect in her fetus, which they said would require surgery and later a transplant if it survived until delivery."
When Cristian Nationalists tell you they think a child born of rape can be part of God's plan but an abortion can not-then they are admitting they worship a god that sends rapists but not doctors.
@TexasObserver Wow. I volunteered for that group. The birth control and abortion counselling center was right down the hall from the draft counselling center across from the university. We also had a statewide organization that was an uneasy coalition between rich upper middle class, socialist, and hip women.
My Voice, My Choice: For Safe And Accessible #Abortion
"We are asking the European Commission to submit a proposal for financial support to Member States that would be able to perform safe termination of pregnancies for anyone in Europe who still lacks access to safe and legal abortion."
Deliberate dissemination of disinformation about abortion is harming women, esp. in TX:
TX officials have appointed a leading anti-abortion activist to the MMRC panel. Dr Skop will join as a comm. member repping rural areas (even though she is from the 7th-largest city in the US). But she also reps a largely overlooked segment of the anti-abortion mvt: researchers who seek to discredit the idea that abortion restrictions are putting women’s lives in danger.
