While lawmakers have until March to file bills for the 140-day session, early plans discussed among Republicans include efforts to expand the power of local district attorneys to prosecute abortion providers in counties across the state; penalize online groups that help Texans receive abortion medication; criminally punish companies that financially support out-of-state abortion travel; and other measures that would prevent patients from crossing state lines for care. Often at the forefront of modeling extreme anti-abortion measures, Texas may offer a glimpse of what other states can expect.
“Small government”, sure.

Just waiting for the “pregnant property is not permitted to leave the state unsupervised.” You know it’s coming.

Bleeding and in pain, she couldn’t get 2 Louisiana ERs to answer: Is it a miscarriage?
When she was pregnant, Kaitlyn Joshua struggled to get medical care — and answers — in post-Roe Louisiana, where abortion is banned.

And when are they going to study the psychological distress on that oh-so-important ‘soul’ which goes from being an unwanted embryo to an unwanted fetus to an unwanted baby to an unwanted child and then teen?
Women do not magically become loving and supportive mothers just because a baby has torn its way out of their body. And prenatal care does not magically happen without money and support.
It’s almost like they don’t really care about those ‘innocent babies’ after all.

That’s fucking awful. How horrible that women now are having to go through shit like this for those so-called “pro-life” jackasses. These are just horrifically cruel people who need to fuck off.

Yeah, excellent point. It’s not just young women now facing the consequences, but also older women having to relive their private tragedies in such a public way to try to make the evil assholes understand what it’s all about.
I’m grateful for their bravery, and that they have a public voice now, but it shouldn’t even be necessary. Such cruelty.
