Texas supreme court just made the dumbest move possible politically.

The fetus had no chance of survival, as you would know if you had read the linked material in the OP.

doctors are wrong all the time

Life trumps a doctor's opinion

Which baby is murdered?

The ones that didn't make the choice to go to an abortion mill.

The ones that didn't make the choice to go to an abortion mill.

Was the abortion at the abortion mill legal?

Even Ann Coulter knows it was a dumb thing for them to do.

It shouldn't be.

It shouldn't be.

But it was, thus it could not have been murder.

Now you know.

It is murder.

Murder is a legal term.

Murder is the "the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person"

Definition of MURDER

the crime of unlawfully and unjustifiably killing a person; specifically, law : such a crime committed under circumstances defined by statute; something very difficult or dangerous; something outrageous or blameworthy… See the full definition

www.merriam-webster.com

If the abortion is legal, it can't by definition, be murder.

If saying murder gives you good thots and feels then by all means, do so; but you will be lying.

Two parts from the link -

Monday's ruling appeared to reject a key argument by the plaintiffs in that case - that doctors' good-faith belief should be enough to meet the exception.

Cox's fetus was diagnosed on Nov. 27 with trisomy 18, a genetic abnormality that usually results in miscarriage, stillbirth or death soon after birth.

So it would appear that you can have a medical emergency abortion in Texas if there's a danger to the mothers life/health, for example, an ectopic pregnancy. As you can see and read, her condition doesn't meet this criteria, so why the confusion and anger?

It's there in black and white, how did the first court get it so wrong?

Simply put, if it had been, for example ectopic, she would have got an abortion.

Terminating an ectopic pregnancy isn't an abortion.

That law is unconstitutional and will be struck down as such.

Yet a court upheld the law.

 

[martybegan]

Yet a court upheld the law.

Plessey was upheld by the SC, we know how that ended.

Bad law is bad law.

 

[Markle]

Yet a court upheld the law.

That even far-left Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said was unconstitutional.

They ruled against Kate Cox even though she had already left the state for her treatment.
This ruling comes off a spiteful and mean, but as we know with republicans the cruelty is often the point.
Anyway, they had the opportunity to show sympathy, to be reasonable, to act like human beings, and they threw it away.
This is a gift for Democrats, but a sad day for the country.

Women cannot be trusted with their own bodies

Once again women are complaining about laws (proposed or enacted) which make us a moral country. Saying you want control of your own body is a great slogan, but are you going to live your life in a good moral fashion if you get the control you want? Obviously more laws are needed. ---Allow...

Texas top court rules against woman who sought abortion for medical emergency

The Texas Supreme Court on Monday overturned a lower court's ruling that would have allowed a pregnant woman to get an emergency abortion under the medical exception for the state's near-total abortion ban, granting a petition by Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton.

Courts rule on law, not what looks good.

No wonder your side looks so stupid.

 

[lennypartiv]

We will see what the repercussions are in the next election.

Your side is going to try and rig it anyway.

The court upheld the Texas law. Roe v. Wade was. unconstitutional
