Fucking government shouldn't even be in this position. Abortions should be between the doctor and the patient and definitely doctor's should preform the Abortion when it is necessary to save the woman's life. Fuck the government when going overthrow these fucking facsiest?

MODERATORS
I want to point out that it's specifically Christian fascists that are the major driver of this. There is a powerful organization called Project Blitz that operates in the USA with the stated goals of removing separation of church and state, including the result of restricting abortion severely.
We need an explicit right to privacy. Basically not just codifying roe in the “legalize abortion” way (though abortion needs to be legalized), but also solidify the foundation of everything built upon roe. And it needs to be a federal constitutional amendment.
We took a lot of rights for granted that were built on the implied right to privacy. The government shouldn’t get to decide what medicines you’re allowed to take so long as they are prescribed by a physician in good standing following a reasonable interpretation of sufficiently up to date research. The government shouldn’t get to decide what you do in your sex life so long as everyone involved is a consenting person who has reached the age of majority. Certain things shouldn’t get to be politics and personal medical decisions are on that list.
All medical decisions should be between a patient and their doctor, and governments and corporations should have no say in it nor have the ability to use force or coercion to effect any medical decisions.
I'm pro-choice, but I don't agree it's that black and white.
I don't support, for example, the right for a MAGA doctor to feed a patient bleach or ivermectin as a COVID cure. I also think the FDA should exist.
definitely doctor's should preform the Abortion when it is necessary to save the woman's life
But this is absolutely true. Its wrong for the goverment to restrict or dissuade scientifically proven effective medical care.
I mean, I'd argue feeding ivermectin or bleach for covid isn't "medically founded" so I'd say the post above kind of covers that lol. I understand what you mean of course, and I agree with what you're saying.
Internal medical ethics controls do a pretty good job of dealing with this kind of nonsense though. You're never going to get rates of that kind of insanity to zero, and legal regulations don't make it any better.
Performed when requested, no questioned asked.
when it is necessary to save the woman’s life
This is where you stole autonomy. You were doing so well until you dictated terms over someone else.
No I believe woman should get abortion anytime and for any reason or no reason. But the argument the Supreme Court is going decide if one can be preform to save a woman's life and it shouldn't even be up to the Court to decide this.
Friendly reminder that Texas sucks. Republicans suck too.
Interpret "don't mess with Texas" in the broadest sense by avoiding it entirely.
trying to gtfo atm
I'm escaping in less than a month, you got this!
It's funny that don't mess with Texas was an anti-litter campaign.
And it was a hilarious one, with some funny subtext. The nature guy with a blowpipe shooting a redneck who was littering from a pickup truck? You can't tell me that isn't oddly reminiscent of some of today's fuck cars stereotypes.
Texas talks a lot of shit for a state that can't keep the lights on.
"Are the state’s abortion laws harming women when they face pregnancy complications?" Yes. Will the Texas Supreme Court do anything about that? I doubt it.
