Texan Taliban

Republicans in Texas have introduced a law expected to shut down all remaining abortion clinics in the state... and the conservative-dominated supreme court have not blocked it.
A terrible day for millions of Texan women... and a frightening precedent for the rest of the country.... Do the Republicans have a plan to de facto criminalise abortion in the USA?

Spicerack - // Beats full term abortion, imo. //
To deny any and all women in Teaxs the legal right to decide if they carry a foetus to term or not is morally wrong.
The fact that some of them may be advanced does not mean that the rule can be applied across the board - every situation is unique and should be assessed accordingly.
The notion of a standard denial to a fundamental right does not belong in a civilsed society.

I find these two points particularly worrying...
// An ordinary American, from Texas or elsewhere, may now be able to seek up to $10,000 (£7,200) in damages in a civil court against abortion providers and doctors - and possibly anyone at all involved in the process. That means people like clinic staff, family members, or clergy who encourage or support the procedure could, in theory, be sued.
The legislation makes an exception in the case of medical emergency, which requires written proof from a doctor, but not for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. //
So ordinary staff could be sued including the receptionist.

It's the thin of the wedge if the Republicans take this forward into other State legislatures and, ultimately, securing an overthrow of Wade vs. Roe- which they have the clout in the Supreme Court. Texans behave like this to women's rights - remember the case of Andrea Yates and her post-natal depression....sentenced to death but then overturned...
