When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, it claimed to be removing the judiciary from the abortion debate. In reality, it simply gave the courts a macabre new task: deciding how far states can push a patient toward death before allowing her to undergo an emergency abortion.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit offered its own answer, declaring that Texas may prohibit hospitals from providing “stabilizing treatment” to pregnant patients by performing an abortion—withholding the procedure until their condition deteriorates to the point of grievous injury or near-certain death.
The ruling proves what we already know: Roe’s demise has transformed the judiciary into a kind of death panel that holds the power to elevate the potential life of a fetus over the actual life of a patient.
It’s funny that I’m getting down voted and you’re getting upvoted. We’re saying pretty much exactly the same thing.
I’ve found you need to be very specific when phrasing things on here.
With a lot less users, it only takes a few misunderstandings to have an effect.
And if you’re already negative, people often just carry on the momentum.
Not that internet points matter tho
