Most of them. He is still blocking 4-star and above promotions.

Of course, Texas is trying to appeal the ruling.

I thought stuff like being incompatible with life was already an exception? Or does it require the woman to be in a life threatening condition too?
Like, what's the point in carrying a child to full term if it's not expected to survive more than a few days?

Like, what's the point in carrying a child to full term if it's not expected to survive more than a few days? It's threat of life to the woman in a lot of these places, but because of how that's done and the penalties in place if you go early, it can end up at "the woman has to be in the hospital with a life threatening consequence of the pregnancy", not just "it'll develop eventually"

What's the point in being pro-life, when your states lead infant mortality rates? The GoP isn't using logic, just foaming at the mouth dogma about the concept of 'life' and what abortion represents.
If it's abortion, it's clearly murder. If they die outside of the womb you can mumble vaguely about 'god's plan'.

Add in the law is intentionally written to make the exceptions as vague as possible with harsh penalties to keep doctors from being willing to perform an abortion.
Add in that the whole point is to punish women for having sex.

Or to delay the process of getting an abortion so long, that it becomes a moot point as the baby is born.

Dafuq? That is the definition of using the legal system as a weapon. Obviously vexatious lawsuit.

Surely the court determining that it's legal is a pretty solid legal defence against false charges, and then a slam dunk of a harassment suit?
