Today Texas starts, since the Supreme’s did not intervene last night, the most restive abortion laws ever.
The Front Pagers are all over this, we, the unwashed masses of Daily Kos should be too.
I admit I write about health issues, and humor issues, and gay issues, usually next to never about abortion. But that must change!
You can read all about the ban here.
Basically all abortions after 6 weeks are not allowed….and at 6 weeks many women cannot even tell that they are pregnant.
I have stated my pro-choice views many times on here. I am Bisexual so it is possible, though unlikely I would ever get someone pregnant. I am a male. I am responsible for getting a woman pregnant if we have sex and it results in pregnancy. But I have have no G-d given right or any other bloody kind of right to tell her what she should do or should not do with her body.
Texas law is beyond scary.
They effectively are over-turning Roe V. Wade daring the Court to take the law down, which the Court refused to do.
I just hope someone more elegant a writer than myself who I admit is a crappy writer takes on this very, very, important topic.
This goes against people not being allowed to get an abortion after a set time. It also gives Joe Common Citizen money for reporting on a doctor that provides abortions.
Anyone who successfully sues an abortion provider under this law could be awarded at least $10,000. And to prepare for that, Texas Right to Life has set up what it calls a "whistleblower" website where people can submit anonymous tips about anyone they believe to be violating the law.
