#texas abortions

“Now people are coming from across the country — at great stress, great exhaustion, great trauma — to arrive in our community, where likely they will be met by a handful of angry protesters, so that they can access health care,”

key points:

texas anti-abortion protesters are trying to enact ordinances at the city and town level in NM, as it was done in TX

new mexico has an equal rights amendment that includes abortion access (a 1969 ban was repealed last year)

the new mexico state constitution outlaws counties and municipalities from making laws that are inconsistent with state law

new mexico remains a haven for texans and other nearby states for those who can afford to travel should they seek an abortion, but the fight is only just beginning. texas anti-choice protesters will seek to enact similar legislation to the texas 6wk abortion ban. they already are.

some counties near the southern border of new mexico have passed anti-abortion ordinances, but have been explicitly told that these cannot be enforced, and any attempt to do so would likely result in litigation.

if you are in texas and seeking an abortion, you can legally do obtain one in New Mexico. they are ready and will not leave you high and dry. please consider it if this is a choice you are faced with

Texas gives men totally different rights.

Why is a man who drugs his partner inducing an abortion [against her will] given 180 days, but a woman inducing an abortion get 10 years?

The misogyny in Texas is disgusting.

HOW CHRISTIANITY SUPPORTS MULTIRACIAL, MULTICULTURAL DEMOCRACY

'The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick' — This pastor perfectly explained how the values expressed in Christianity can support a multiracial, multicultural democracy instead of right-wing extremism (via jamestalarico on TikTok)

So Texas did what they were always planning to do and made abortions even if the mother's life is at risk illegal.

A woman who's name is Kate Cox tried to fight against the supreme court because the fetus isn't viable and she will die if she doesn't get an abortion, and they told her "too bad."

They were never pro-life.

A Texas woman testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee on the subject of the harm of abortion bans tore into her senators on Wednesday, saying she nearly died as “a direct result” of the policies Ted Cruz and John Cornyn support.

Amanda Zurawski, one of five women suing the state of Texas for denying them abortions after medical complications arose in their pregnancies, began by noting that neither Cruz nor Cornyn was present in the room.

“But I would like for them to know that what happened to me… it’s a direct result of the policies that they support,” she said. “I nearly died on their watch. And furthermore, as a result of what happened to me, I may have been robbed of the opportunity to have children in the future.”

Despite that, Zurawski continued, she considered herself “lucky,” as she had a supportive partner and a job “that allowed me to grieve for three days as I waited to almost die.”

She raised the specter of the “many” women who need life-saving abortions but don’t have the same support system. “What about them?” she asked.

“Rich Conservative women never, ever have abortions! And if they do, they will face the consequences like everyone else.”

Now how’s being naive, Kay?

There’s a reason slang like “shopping in Atlanta” and “Spa weekend in Colorado” exist amongst Republican women.

Texas questions rights of fetus in prison guard lawsuit despite arguing opposite on abortion | Texas | The Guardian

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/aug/12/texas-fetus-rights-prison-guard-lawsuit-abortion

In defending themselves against a lawsuit, Texas officials have argued that an “unborn child” may not have rights under the US constitution, putting them in tension with arguments made by the state’s attorney general’s office as well as Republican lawmakers to support restrictions to abortion.

A guard at the state prison in the community of Abilene filed the lawsuit in question after she asserted that her superiors barred her from going to the hospital while she experienced intense labor pains and what she suspected were contractions while seven months pregnant and on duty.

The guard – who is named Salia Issa – was finally able to leave to go to the hospital two and a half hours after the pain started. She was rushed into emergency surgery after doctors were unable to find a fetal heartbeat and she ultimately delivered the baby in a stillbirth. The lawsuit claims that if Issa had been able to get to the hospital sooner, the baby would have survived.

Issa and her husband sued the Texas department of criminal justice and three supervisors, arguing the state caused the death of their child. They seek restitution in medical and funeral costs and for pain and suffering.

The prison agency and the Texas attorney general’s office have argued in defense of the lawsuit that the agency should not be held responsible for the stillbirth and that it is not clear the fetus had rights as a person. Both entities advance those positions despite consistent arguments made in lockstep by the attorney general’s office and Texas legislators that “unborn children” should be recognized as people starting at fertilization.
