[Northern Connecticut]

ANd that's just the stuff I had time to post.

We're gonna take your guns, spread communism, and blast Cardi B in your churches.

Your being sarcastic. And I don't own guns.

Most people agree that it's 'bad'. That's not really the question.

I mean, yeah, abortion is awful but there's a pretty wide corpus of evidence that outlawing it does nothing to prevent the practice and only serves to make it more dangerous. It's not something you can really prevent.

Abortion is good. It's great that people can exercise conscious, thoughtful control over their reproduction instead of being stuck in a situation they don't want because of biology. Fuck biology, the flesh is weak, all my homies hate the flesh.

Abortion is something very similar to self-defense. It should not be plan A, but it is a necessary thing if we wish to ensure that people can protect themselves from being forced into actions they do not wish to take. Killing another in self-defense is not something that anyone in their right mind would look forward to, and the same is true of abortion.

But most conservatives are eager to defend the right to defend oneself and their property with lethal force. What is more fundamentally one’s own property than one’s own body?

The far-right has even co-opted the 'my body my choice' slogan to defend antimaskers while still spitting on women's automony.
Disgusting.

I am curious if it makes a difference to Texas lawmakers if the babydaddy is black or white; especially when the mom is the latter.

I doubt they think about it with that level of depth.

With regards to the Texas law, are there any limitations on the number of plaintiffs per defendant?

I mean, the law states that if someone gets an abortion, the driver can be sued, and the plaintiff can win $10K in damages. If 100 people successively sued the driver, would the driver be on the hook for $1M? Or is it a first-come-first-served sort of thing?

I don't think they gave it that kind of thought. Potentially, each plaintiff could have their own lawsuit.

I'm assuming the old rule that you cannot be convicted for the same crime more than once still applies. But that is an assumption.

But we will see how the current lawsuit turns out.

The first steps in Texas' challenge

A Texas doctor disclosed in an op-ed in the Washington Post Saturday that he has performed an abortion in violation of the state's restrictive new abortion law, which bans effectively bans the procedure after six weeks. Alan Braid's op-ed is a direct disclosure that will very likely result in legal action, thereby setting it up as a potential test case for how the abortion ban will be litigated, notes the New York Times. [...] I acted because I had a duty of care to this patient, as I do for all patients, and because she has a fundamental right to receive this care,” Braid, saying he performed the procedure on Sept. 6 on a woman still in her first trimester.

“I fully understood that there could be legal consequences — but I wanted to make sure that Texas didn’t get away with its bid to prevent this blatantly unconstitutional law from being tested," he added.

“I understand that by providing an abortion beyond the new legal limit, I am taking a personal risk, but it’s something I believe in strongly."

And he has now been sued

And he has now been sued

Yes, by 2 lawyers. Let's hope the judge will be sensible and rebellious.

It should be said that both of them have explicitly stated that they are pro-choice, they are doing it with the intent that the case exposes how shit this new law is.
