“The temporary restraining order granted by the Travis County district judge purporting to allow an abortion to proceed will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion laws,” Paxton said in a statement shortly after the judge’s decision. “This includes first degree felony prosecutions…and civil penalties of not less than $100,000 for each violation.
Paxton added, ominously: “The [judge’s temporary restraining order] will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ abortion laws expires.”
I have a feeling that the people who support this guy are also the group that think vaccinating babies is evil and that home births are better.
I literally had a TON of women on Instagram try to attack me for calling out a post saying doctors and hospitals cause more harm than good in the US.
Most of it was along the lines of “women have been giving birth without doctors for thousands of years, our bodies know what to do”, all while ignoring the fact that both infant mortality and women’s birthing mortality rates have dropped from around 1.5% (of ALL women, not just pregnant women) to 0.015% (don’t quote me on that, it’s been a while since I looked up the numbers).
I even had one woman say that because I’m a man that I’m not allowed to say anything and her “genetic feminine memory”, as if she’s some Gao’uld symbiote from Stargate, trumps all “so-called medical doctors degrees”.
How do you talk with these people?
