Texas Lawmakers Push for New Exceptions to State's Strict Abortion Ban After the Deaths of Two Women

Weeks after ProPublica reported on the deaths of two pregnant women whose miscarriages went untreated in Texas, state lawmakers have filed bills that would create new exceptions to the state's strict abortion laws, broadening doctors' ability to intervene when their patients face health risks. The legislation comes after the lawmaker who wrote one of Texas' recent abortion bans wrote an op-ed in the Houston Chronicle defending the current exceptions as "plenty clear."

This is lawmakers admitting to being culpable in the deaths of these women.

So, what are the consequences for that?

Life in Abbottistan.
Hope the women's families sue the piss out of the state.

"The anti-abortion project is the core engine of a brazen attempt by one religious clique that constitutes about a third of the population to impose their hardline faith-based beliefs on everyone else. Outside of the religious right who opposes abortion rights? Nontheists against women's full reproductive rights are as scarce as hen's teeth."

It's true that most of us atheists are very much in favor of access to healthcare, but even most religionists aren't anti-choice.

You're in a cult.

The fact you voted for a rapist and a criminal and are elated he's above the law proves just how much of a brainwashed cultist you are.

one religious clique that constitutes about a third of the population to impose their hardline faith-based beliefs on everyone else.

This is very common to how countries like Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia function.
