In #Texas, #doctors face a real #SophiesChoice. They can either practice #medicine the way they’ve been taught, regardless of the personal consequences to themselves; they can try their best to comply with the arbitrary edicts of the #Republican state legislature and their own hapless medical board, and still risk #prison; or they can choose to leave the state of Texas and practice elsewhere.
"This evening the Texas Supreme Court ruled against [Kate] Cox, saying she was not entitled to a medical exception from the state’s abortion ban.
The image of a woman forced by the state to carry a fetus with a fatal condition at the risk of her own health and future fertility until finally she has to flee her state for medical care is one that will not be erased easily."
Why aren’t millions of Texans taking to the streets to protest this atrocity?
I was in DFW area over the weekend. With nothing to do Saturday morning, I figured there must be a march or protest I could join. Spent a few minutes googling but nada. People were just going about their business, completely oblivious.
