Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I believe it's technically a "Dilation and curettage (D&C)" which is literally the same procedure they use to treat a woman after a miscarriage so it basically can't be illegal. And they can't make abortions illegal because the human body does spontaneous abortions called miscarriages.
All to say, the language in these laws are all overly broad with non-scientific clarifications because they want to get rid of all "on purpose" abortions without banning medically necessary abortions but also without leaving workarounds.
Breaking: Paxton declares miscarriages illegal
But they have. The Abortion rights activists were telling us that an abortion ban was a ban on women's healthcare from the get go and nobody listened.
Yup, that’s technically what it’s called.
Minor note, they (the extremists) want to ban and control everything. Because they’re … like that.
Are they still called "extremist" when it's all of them that are horrific pieces of shit? At some point, they are just "regular conservatives".
yup. Sure, there's more of them. but they're still extremists.
Honestly, Biden is a "regular conservative". most republicans are, on the 'progressive-conservative' spectrum, regressives
Good points.
"You think not?!" - The GOP probably.
If they have their way, any time a woman in Texas has a miscarriage, the woman will be obligated to afirmatively prove that they didn't do anything that could in any possible way have caused them to miscarry. If they can't, they'll charge then with murder.
Edit: Make that anywhere in the country.
If there is a sliver of opportunity to punish a woman for something, the GOP will try it.
