Texas Threatens Doctors After Judge Says Woman Can Get Emergency Abortion

“The temporary restraining order granted by the Travis County district judge purporting to allow an abortion to proceed will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion laws,” Paxton said in a statement shortly after the judge’s decision. “This includes first degree felony prosecutions…and civil penalties of not less than $100,000 for each violation.

Paxton added, ominously: “The [judge’s temporary restraining order] will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ abortion laws expires.”

Then as more prenatal departments close and doctors move out of state many will be confused by why there is this lack of services available and why younger family members are facing a hard time trying to give birth or find the medical support they need.

It wasn't that hard when they were young. Life was just great when they were younger... /s

They'll change their tune when their own daughter dies giving birth. That's all it'll take.

I wonder where the politicians will go to get their mistresses done?

Quick flight to as California Beach resort. All inclusive. Very posh.
