The ruling by a unanimous panel of fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on abortion exceptions

The US government cannot enforce federal guidance in Texas requiring emergency room doctors to perform abortions if necessary to stabilize emergency room patients, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday, siding with the state in a lawsuit accusing Joe Biden’s administration of overstepping its authority.

The ruling by a unanimous panel of the fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on when abortions can be provided in states whose abortion bans have exceptions for medical emergencies.

Sounds like TX doctors should start refusing to see any politicians or their families in the state. Let them handle it themselves.

They’d just pass a law stating that doctors must treat elected officials and their families.

They’ll just remove or loosen the licensing and education requirements to become a doctor. They had janitors and high school dropouts serving as teachers - why not have chiropractors or Christian Scientists perform surgery?

I mean, it’ll result in deaths so there’s that outcome. 🤷🏻‍♂️
