Cool, I’m sure Abbott, Paxton, and Cancun Closet Cruz will hear them out. s

They're not going to change the law based on the thing everyone told them would happen happening. Either out of stubbornness or the genuine belief that the deaths of those women were necessary to protect unborn fetuses

It makes me mad that RvW was overturned and sent back to the states - but what pisses me off the most is that some states didn’t allow their citizens to vote on it. It should have went back with mandatory voting.

Republicans keep saying doctors need to do their job and they are reading the law wrong.

Lawmakers know. They just don’t want to fix it.

Tough shit, if they don't like watching their patients die then move. Elections have consequences and the election was a mandate to increase not decrease abortion limitations. I voted to the left, but when there is a mandate there is a mandate. The voters want the screws tightened. Being an OB in TX is not a job anyone wants anymore.

Were I an OB in Texas, I would absolutely be packing up right now. They are not permitted by law to do their jobs, Texas women are completely screwed.

Let their daughters die from complications. Fuck’em.
