    Those medical professionals should lose their license and go to prison, this is manslaughter.

      The governor and anyone who voted for it should be more like. The doctors will go to jail if they help.

        “Stigma and fear are there for D&Cs in a way that they are not for misoprostol,” said Dr. Alison Goulding, an OB-GYN in Houston. “Doctors assume that a D&C is not standard in Texas anymore, even in cases where it should be recommended. People are afraid: They see D&C as abortion and abortion as illegal.”

        These are cases where a D&C would still be legal under the Texas law, but doctors are still not doing it because they’re afraid to get sued by Ken Paxton. That’s malpractice.

        I get that the law is ridiculous, immoral and badly written, but that still doesn’t absolve you from your responsibility to preserving human life.

        And yeah, the Texas Governor and Republican legislature are morally responsible, and have blood on their hands, but since they’re writing the laws they can’t exactly be charged with a crime.

      I’m curious as to what you do for a living, and if any portion of the proper practice of that thing has been outlawed by the state. You must be some type of professional freedom fighter to be so self-assured in your righteousness.
