Force to carry the baby to 33 weeks when she knew months earlier that the condition was always fatal.
Had to have a closed casket because the baby was never going to be able to have a fully formed skull.
She lives in Houston. It’s a 12+ hour drive to the nearest state where it would be legal.
Texas is seeking to punish women who leave the state for healthcare. They’ve currently been blocked at the federal court level from doing that, at least for now.
None of this has been about punishing people who are able to take a few days off work to travel out of state for healthcare.
Yeah because that’s the answer, force a woman who doesn’t want/cant have a child to incur travel expenses when it should be a Healthcare service offered nearby.
Especially in this instance, where is an extremely traumatic pregnancy, let’s just go ahead and force her to seek travel accommodations on top of what she’s dealing with.
What a compassionate person you must be.
It’s just actual torture at this point.
God bless the Christian Republicans and their wholesome family values.
/s for those who need it.
Another proud moment for Christianity
It has a lot to do with christianity. Religion is all about pushing your beliefs on to others.
Nothing to do with Christianity and everything to do with control.
That’s literally the same thing. Christianity IS control. Religion - all religion - is a cancer on society. We don’t live in ancient times anymore. Religion’s usefulness has long since past. We don’t need to use it to explain who the world works and with that how to control individuals.
That’s literally the same thing. Christianity IS control. Religion - all religion - is a cancer on society.
I don’t begrudge anyone who feels that way. The amount of harm, torment, and just all out disgusting things done in the name of religion should make anyone throw up just thinking about it.
I’m saying anyone claiming to be Christian and getting involved in politics is not a Christian.
Yes it’s true that the Bible says abortion is wrong. But that’s for the reader to apply to themselves, not forcibly apply to everyone else through politics.
It’s no different than Jainism with eating meat. They outright do not eat meat as a religious practice, which is fine. But imagine if they protested and took office to make it law that no one else can eat meat.
The Bible even says that people should not be getting involved in politics. So it’s a double whammy with forcing their beliefs onto other people through a means that God doesn’t approve.
Just as Texas intended
Sacrifices must be made up appease the religious extremist voter base
You have to remember more than half the people in Texas vote for this shit while believing they live in the most free place in the world. Should freedom mean the freedom to take away other people’s freedom or should it mean the freedom to do what you want?
The takeaway from this is if you live someplace like this the average person is not your friend. Get out while you still can.
6 Catholics overturned Roe too. Catholics only represent 23% of the population and tend to have much stricter views on abortion than Jewish and Hindu folks for instance. Maybe we shouldn’t let 6 people from the same freaking religion decide anything with religious overtones. But if we do, and in the case of abortion…maybe it shouldn’t be the people that think Jesus got magically beamed into Mary’s womb from orbit.
To correct you and also amplify the irony: Roe was overturned by 6 Catholic justices whose views on abortion diverge greatly from the 64% of American Catholics and 40% of American Catholic Republicans that believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases.
