    Are we thinking about the ban wrong? Shouldn’t it be unconstitutional to give a citizen a right to sue another person for $10,000 because he disagrees with a medical procedure? could apply to vasectomies and still be unconstitutional.

    In fact, their bill would actually weaken current protections for the right to abortion, & it would allow medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion to block care from people who really need it in states across the country. Their bill wouldn’t block bans like in TX. 3/6

    The fight for abortion access, reproductive rights, and bodily autonomy starts and ends in the states. I'm the candidate running for Texas State Senate against one of the sponsors of , the . Let's vote them out.

    Let's be real — will fail because the filibuster exists. We refuse to rely on Congress to protect our abortion rights. Our fight is, and has been, in the states. We must elevate prochoice champions in every election and every state.

    People stop going to get help when there is a risk they will go to jail for it. That is how people die. When you criminalise abortion, you criminalise every person able to get pregnant, and you put everything about them under scrutiny. They stop being human, and just become uteri

    says “medical emergency.” What does that term mean? Docs & hospitals should be concerned about the patient/family suing them for malpractice if they don’t treat properly. Would a court support a civil suit vs a doc who properly treated a miscarriage?

    And because Texas is forcing births among Texas residents, regardless of rape or incest— during a national shortage of formula — the pro-life claims ring hollow again.

    No, because the mechanism in requires the potential of Roe being gone as a chilling effect. If Roe is upheld, abortion clinics will accept lawsuits against them, and they’ll win those lawsuits. 🏛

    Question I keep coming back to: Wouldn’t a decision upholding Roe simply prompt every pro-life state in the country to pass a Texas-style law that gets around Roe via civil lawsuits?

    Texas, pre-, ranked 48th for women’s healthcare access and quality. Over half our counties have no OBGYN in residence. 35 have no physician at all. SB8 and the trigger ban are cruel policies that will absolutely result in the death of Texans.

    ETA: I used ‘quaint’ due to absolute CF re: . But also this 👇:

    E.(1) Any federal statute, regulation, treaty, executive order, or court ruling that purports to supersede, stay, or overrule this Section shall be in violation of the United States Constitution and the Constitution of Louisiana and is therefore void. (2) This state and its political subdivisions, and agents thereof, may disregard any part or whole of any federal court decision which purports to enjoin or void any provision of this Section. F. Pursuant to the powers granted to the Legislature by Article X, Part III, of the Constitution of Louisiana, any judge of this state who purports to enjoin, stay, overrule, or void any provision of this Section shall be subject to impeachment or removal.
    People have highlighted the fact that the Louisiana abortion bill (arguably) bans IUDs and IVF, but can we talk about the fact that it says that any federal law or court ruling protecting abortion is null and void and that any state judge who overturns it will be impeached?
