Texas doctor protests abortion law by admitting he carried out procedure

As if on cue – a member of the authoritarian right.

And yet, you agree: the TX abortion law is constitutional.

We can hope that this act of warranted defiance inspires the people to rise up against rightwing tyranny.

The political process is the only means by which the people can fight against rightwing tyranny; that’s why Republican state lawmakers have enacted measures intended to suppress the right to vote and disenfranchise voters.

That's some tinfoil hat stuff there. States' rights and election integrity are not tyranny.

 

[Rogue AI]

It’s not. There’s never been a law as shamelessly disgusting as this.

Not even Democrat slave laws or Democrat Jim Crow laws? Wow.

Okay, okay, okay. Good point.

No law in the last, let’s say, 60 years.

Congrats.

Wrong.

The Texas anti-choice law has no provision for enforcement or punishment by state officials, relying solely on enforcement by civil lawsuits.

Ok then Bidens EO for vaccine mandates has nothing behind it.

Suspend is medical license in texas

Oops, can't.

 

[Mac-7]

Oops, can't.

Thats true

See post #20

 

[airplanemechanic]

Thats a good point

The actual Texas law does not call for jailing wayward doctors

Thats the answer I should have given

That's fine, just take their license to practice medicine.

 

[Mac-7]

That's fine, just take their license to practice medicine.

Oddly enough the law does not empower Texas to do that either at this time

But activist groups can drive abortion doctors crazy with lawsuits

Correct, because the law would then have easily been struck down as unconstitutional

 

[Mac-7]

Dont say stuff you dont know

What would have happened is that the abortion crowd would have judge shopped and got an injunction till the SC lifted it

This way that didnt happen

That is not fair.

If he didn't say shit he didn't know he'd have about 3 posts on this forum.

What a hero this man is. President Joe needs to appoint some judges to get this sorted.

There's one more kid that will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool...
Keep on rocking in the free world.

I heard about this yesterday.

We will have to wait to see what happens.

He's already been sued by two persons (at least). So we will see what happens next.

The whole thing is so bizarre. Think about the laws that are currently on the books... any of them.... like running a dog fighting ring or B&E.... Why shouldn't someone be able to sue a person running a dog fighting ring or the person who fenced the items taken during the burglary, if they are in Texas, as well?

Performing illegal abortions

At least thats what he’s claiming to have done

Abortion isn't illegal.

 

[candycorn]

if I were the AG I wouldnt want to hand the lib media a photo op and make him the celebrity that he’s obviously hoping to be

But I would put him in jail for practicing medicine without a license

He does have a license. He's delivered something like 10,000 children.

Gee, so much for the right wing outrage against what they called the "cancel culture".

The news is that several lawsuits were filed against the doctor. In both cases, the lawsuits were filed to force the Supreme Court to decide the constitutionality of it.

 

[Mac-7]

He does have a license.

I know that

And there is no provision in the new Texas law to change that

But lawsuits can get expensive even for rich abortion doctors
