The republican War On Women

[KUTradition]

The Texas woman who filed a lawsuit last week asking for an emergency abortion is now leaving the state to get care, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights, which is representing the woman.

After a judge in Travis County District Court allowed her to get an abortion Thursday, the Texas Supreme Court put that decision on hold Friday.

The woman, Kate Cox, 31, had filed a lawsuit against the state over its restrictive abortion bans, asking a judge to grant her a temporary restraining order that would allow her to get an abortion.

In a decision late Friday, the state's Supreme Court temporarily put the lower court's decision on hold, saying it needed more time to consider the case, according to court documents.

The bad-faith birth-rate freaker-outers should be asked how things will be better in states when women and doctors flee in droves.

Fortunately, unlike other American women, virtuous, pro-forced-birth females will never find themselves in need of a medical abortion, because any OB-GYN whose personal integrity compels them to do the right thing will be averse to allowing government officials with no medical expertise tell them how to practice medicine, and will avoid hanging their shingle in Texas in ever-increasing numbers.

One of the odd coincidences of life is how many pro forced birthers accidently miscarry on vacation in blue states

Doesn’t one of our local yokels insist that a hard and fast rule of the American political universe is that people get more conservative with age and maturity?

But it’s not just Korea.

Here’s a striking one for the US:

In contrast to the typical relationship between values and age, young American men hold *more conservative views on gender* than older men.

This has huge social implications.

We continue to assault people who want to have happy, healthy children in homes where they are wanted, further increasing the percentage of children born into homes where they are not wanted or that are genetically at a disadvantage for a happy, healthy, successful life. Our country continues to get proportionally dumber every year.

What a bunch of motherfucking ghouls.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — Democratic lawmakers walked out of a Kentucky committee hearing Thursday when the GOP-led panel took up a bill to expand access to prebirth and newborn services for pregnant women carrying nonviable fetuses that are expected to die before or soon after birth, in a state that bans abortion in such cases.

The three Democrats didn't return to the committee room until after Republicans on the House Health Services Committee approved the bill dealing with perinatal palliative care.

“This is not about comforting bereaved parents, as it should be,” Democratic state Rep. Lindsey Burke said afterward. “It’s about making a political statement, and they’re not going to do that on my back.”

Supporters of the bill said it would increase access to compassionate, comprehensive care and support services for families dealing with the devastation of a life-limiting diagnosis for their unborn child. When an infant is expected to live only a short time after birth, it gives parents precious moments to spend time with the child, said Addia Wuchner, executive director of Kentucky Right to Life.

“No matter how extreme an anomaly can be, sometimes just to say hello by holding your child means everything,” she said. “And families should have that opportunity to make those choices.”

“You can’t say goodbye until you’ve said hello,” she added.

There is no Republican party any more, it is the rubepublican party now. Actual conservatives have been purged out of any control and it is nothing but grifters and media performance artists remaining.
