If you care about women, you should boycott Texas.

Texas doesn’t mind. In Texas they believe if you can’t carry, you should leave the state, it’s perfectly ok for them. Texas is no good.

Just as planned. A disgusting, shameful disservice to Texan women. How phony can our christian Texan politicians be? 100% phony and fake christian politicos.

Apologists will say that the ban isn’t the problem and the doctors should risk ruining their lives.
Accountability isn’t a problem for the anti-choicers.

Sorry. Texas is too busy chasing a 60 year old representative (and losing her) on her morning walk to care about the lives of its citizens,
What politicians don’t understood is that miscarriage complications go bad FAST.
I didn’t realize, until I went through it twice – but death by blood loss isn’t about how much blood you lose. It’s about how fast you lose it! It’s hypovolemic shock.
You can lose 80% of your blood and be walking around, so long as it happens slowly enough. I lost just about half of my blood over two days with one miscarriage, and I’m sure I was in danger, but I never circled the drain.
With my next miscarriage, I only lost about a quarter of my blood, but it was over a couple of hours. I knew exactly how urgent my situation was (because of the first miscarriage). I knew I was losing too much, too quickly. I was begging, begging, begging for an immediate D&C.
But, my regular hospital had lost their ambulance clearance at the time, so I’d been taken to a Catholic hospital. They refused to schedule a D&C until they could confirm fetal death (via ultrasound). It was the middle of the night, and sonographer on call was not answering.
They left me without a call button, and no one came even though I screamed and screamed. I was very lucky, in that a minute before I started actively dying, a nurse just happened to check in on me. I remember watching my blood pressure hit 70/30 territory, and I texted my husband that I was scared. It felt so bad. I needed to throw up but I was too weak, and everything was spinning, and I was shaking so hard and so, so cold…
The room got real crowded. They stabilized me (by pressurizing my blood?) and transfused me, got me my surgery in a few hours, and I lived. But, not everyone does. What if that nurse hadn’t happened to round just then?
Anyway, I’m so sorry that these women died.

This is what happens when you vote in men who want to lord over women’s bodies. Remember this in the midterms and vote like your life depends on it (because it does).

It’s because they think women are replaceable. Oh well, if she dies the man can just get a new, younger, prettier woman!

It needs to be closer to home for a true republican to care. It needs to be white men with garages dying.

Women of colour I suppose?

The GOP would rather protect pedophiles than women. They’re literally the worst.

This is what Texas wanted. Good to see that their plan is working.

They don’t care. They think dead women and miscarriages are a sign of strength. They are strong, manly men. If women and babies have to die to prove their emotional strength. So be it. They will persevere, no matter the consequences.
Otherwise, they might have to admit they were wrong. They will never be strong enough for that.

I’ll say what I said on another site. I am a voice from the citizen of North America. Abortion bans aren’t just “policy debates.” They criminalize pregnancy outcomes and delay emergency care. If the state enacts rules that predictably kill women, that’s state-enabled feminicide. Say it plainly. #BansKill #ReproductiveJustice
