Hours before the ruling, a group representing the woman, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion.

    It’s not really an acknowledgement, it’s more of a threat. With how the ruling went, it’s implicit understanding that says “We honestly don’t care, don’t try because if you do, we’ll make sure you get the chair.” Doctors can’t do jack and I bet you that if this ruling is used as precedent, they are going to use to start justifying why people who need healthcare the most should just die…

    Huh, that sounds little familiar. Kind of like a life decider… no, that’s not quite it. I’m sure it will come to me later.

      It’s a dark time when the law tells a Doctor they could perform a life saving procedure, but afterwards will need to defend their action in court.

      Darn those Obamacare death panels (/s if that wasn’t clear…)

      It’s a terrifying timeline to be a woman. Or anyone else who isn’t a white, straight, Christian man.
