Kate Cox, a Dallas woman who sued for the right to terminate her nonviable pregnancy, has left Texas to have an abortion outside the state.
Last week, an Austin judge ruled that Cox should be allowed to have an abortion in Texas, but after a petition from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, the Supreme Court put that order on hold.
“This past week of legal limbo has been hellish for Kate,” said Nancy Northup, president and CEO for the Center for Reproductive Rights, which brought the lawsuit on Cox’s behalf. “Her health is on the line. She’s been in and out of the emergency room and she couldn’t wait any longer.”
It only seems diabolical, but it’s exactly what one would envision as a ruling from a SC who is 100% Republican & 100% thumper (the 100% White fact isn’t in play this time, but no doubt it will be sooner than later).After state’s high court halts historic abortion ruling, Kate Cox leaves Texas to terminate her nonviable pregnancy
Knew this would be the outcome. Glad she could take care of her health first and foremost.
But it is diabolical what these people put her through publicly at such a personal moment for her and her family.
What a prophetic post. You were spot on unfortunately.If Ginsburg or Breyer kicks the bucket, or Kennedy decides to walk, then despite protests in every major city, Trump and the Republican senate will rush in a Federalist Society nutter into the vacant seat. From there it's just a manner of time.
A Handmaid's Tale style militant theocracy is well on the way.
I prefer to spit on a sacred textbook, beat a spiritual leader, burn a place of worship down to the ground and salt the earth upon its remains rather than let any of them taking control over a woman's right to get an abortion. There, I said it. And if I offended some people who take religion a little too much at heart (I don't expect many here since United is proudly nicknamed the Red Devils, but you never know), please shove it.
Seriously, it is infuriating to see such backwards stuff against women's rights in 2023.
What's your thinking here? This will help democrats in elections?Keep 'em coming...
It's been shown to help in the recent special & off year elections.What's your thinking here? This will help democrats in elections?
Can't republicans just vote republican and rely on state referendums to allow abortion?

Good man.Annoyingly so.
Funnily enough my views have changed since 2018. I'm no longer pro-choice reluctantly, I'm pro-choice unapologetically and loudly

Will surprise you the number of women that are staunchly anti abortion.Wonder how many women are on that court. Good we keep em the hell out of such decisions.
When you've lost Ann...
Let's see what Repubs do here. No doubt they are conflicted right now...
Every once in a while she pops up with a completely reasonable take on something. Maybe more than she used to (which is to say never), but she's still a horrible ghoul most of the time.

The poster implied women being on the court bench could have changed the decision.Why would it? Women are religious as well.
No matter how many times I've watched it, it will still always be satisfying to see her get burned at that Comedy Central roast. No idea why she turned up for it![]()

Basically it’s a granular, behind the scenes, blow by blow history of overturning Roe after RBG’s death. It's quite rare to find an article to have such in depth reporting on the inner workings of the SC, it's worth finding the time to read it.Tldr?
