An EXPERT on such matters as Abortions and Miscarriages are you?
May one enquire as where and how you gained you qualifications, etc, etc, to ALLOW yourself to make a comment?
As a retired and well qualified, MALE, yes MALE, Mid-wife I would DEARLY love to hear aboutv your sources of such information and, if it would be NO trouble then PLEASE add in the number of births you have attended and assisted with as well, then we can compare notes perhaps.

@Triphid wtf, the last line was satire dude

@starwatcher-al SATIRE being used in such dire and serious subject/situation, what is next, you posting something satirical about a member suffering through a miscarriage or perhaps you'd like to raise a few a laughs for yourself by disrespecting the child of a member who has just died from either an incurable disease or maybe suicide, imo, I'd lay odds on bets that such a thing may well have you in fits of laughter, at least until, may it never happen, someone near and dear to you dies in such a manner of course.

Try saying that to all the evil vicious pro-life fuckwits who are in charge of many states in the USA.

@anglophone ...........this is empty of meaningful content, and your potty mouth makes athiests look bad. try shutting up.

@holdenc98 I'm going to support anglophone on this one. There is a problem with the govenors and senior politicians in authority in many states, and anglophone has a perfect right to express that as he has chosen to do.

There is no way that Abbott will be ashamed of himself - he is far too arrogant.

@anglophone Every politician has a skeleton or two in the closet. Maybe it's time for the news hounds to do some sniffing.

@anglophone Is it just me or does this Texarse Abbott sound ever so much like an Abbott we Australian know and detest as well?
Nature could NOT have such a wry sense of humour as to burden the Universe with 2 of the same, could it?

@Triphid Oh yes it can, dear boy!

@anglophone Yes, you are right, sad but true you are right, since after all we've Abbott the Rabbit, Turdball and now ScumMo.

Why were those charges ever laid in the first place?

Answer: It pleased some vile fuckwit to make trouble for somebody else.

@anglophone I would say that "vile fuckwit" would be Gov. Abbott and the entire GOP Texas legislature.

If that be so then if I were in her boots my next step would be to file a suit for Wrongful Arrest and Imprisonment and be naming the Legislature of the State of Texas as co-defendants.

They should never have been made in the first place.
I'm with Triphid, she should sue and make a big stink about this. Women lawyers should be all over this and keeping it in the news and social media for as long as possible. Put the pressure on politicians and take the power away from the religious nuts.

@anglophone Texas Christian Taliban

@ADKSparky Precisely.

It's not clear why she was arrested and charged, because SB8 apparently excludes the person getting an abortion from culpability. Sounds like maybe the hospital was spooked about liability? But it's disturbing anyway - an example of the chilling effect of even false charges or unconstitutional laws. The DA is dropping it because there is no basis.

"What right does anyone have to force an unwanted pregnancy on a woman or to dictate what a woman can or can't do with her body." Ask just about any evangelical, conservative, republican.

The same right I have to shred their prefrontal cortex.

@jlynn37 At some point it will come back to bite them. Politicians flip flop all the time, they will support what ever the numbers favor. The tide will change.

@racocn8 Are planning upon utilising an electron microscope or a telescopic sight to actully locate, aim and fire the necessary bullet ?
Give the average I.Q. of most Religious Politicians, I would most definitely RECOMMEND using the Electron Microscope since I sincerely doubt that you would get enough magnification and definition by using a standard Telescopic sight system.

What right? Saving a zygot that has a soul at the time of conception is a RELIGIOUS concept. Saving the microscopic dividing cells is more important that caring for neglected children already here. In their narrow minded Catholic view of which dominates the Hispanic vote in Texas, they are voting against their own interests. One issue voters who voted for President You Know Who.

@Mooolah If they put the time, energy, and money into finding solutions for abused, neglected, and unwanted children that are suffering now instead of fighting to punish women for having an abortion. Just think of what they could accomplish.
They care more about unborn babies that the ones suffering that are already here.
