didn't think of that, thanks. I still think abortion should be illegal but not in these circumstances.
Part of the problem with criminalizing abortion is in how it creates large bureaucratic hurdles for doctors to prove they aren't committing a crime under necessary circumstances.
Texas law specifically allows for abortions in cases like this, but the state's AG has threatened to prosecute anyone who performs one, regardless.
Consequentially, no hospital will perform these "legal" abortions, for fear of a prosecuting convincing a jury it was illegal after all.
That's fucking bonkers. I have no clue how that AG sleeps at night.
On a stack of donor dollars.
