Texas AG threatens to prosecute doctors in emergency abortion
archive link | Excerpt:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Thursday threatened to prosecute any doctors involved in providing an emergency abortion to a woman, hours after she won a court order allowing her to obtain one for medical necessity. Paxton said in a letter that the order by District Court Judge Maya Guerra Gamble in Austin did not shield doctors from prosecution under all of Texas's abortion laws, and that the woman, Kate Cox, had not shown she qualified for the medical exception to the state's abortion ban.
Paxton said in a statement accompanying the letter that Guerra Gamble's order "will not insulate hospitals, doctors, or anyone else, from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas' abortion laws."

This is awful. Imagine being this guy, sitting down, taking the time to type this out, and then going through all the steps of making it official. So many chances to stop and think for a minute about what you’re doing and why. Clearer than ever that this is about random men believing they get to be in control of people’s bodies at any cost. The entitlement. Ffs.
Imagining what it's like to be in his head for even 5 seconds is a genuine fucking nightmare.
Seriously.
It's easy to imagine if you read a history book.
Our species is and always has thrived on cruelty, particularly so in service to religion.
...then mentally patting themselves on the back and proudly going on, maybe boasting to their like-minded friends along the way for an extra ego boost.
It's not just "random" men, it's a clearly defined group who believe the world should work this way.
Very true. That is an important distinction. Regular misogyny this is not. They’re fascists.
