WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans.
Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy terminations that would violate Texas law.
The Biden administration had asked the justices to throw out the lower court order, arguing that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues.
The administration also cited a Texas Supreme Court ruling that said doctors do not have to wait until a woman’s life is in immediate danger to provide an abortion legally. The administration said it brings Texas in line with federal law and means the lower court ruling is not necessary.
So we need to create a new underground rail road for women. Let’s get women and families out of these areas. Red states don’t deserve them. Kindness always wins
Texas actually made it punishable to help a woman leave the state to get an abortion.
Well, that’s why this would be an underground railroad. If it was legal there wouldn’t be any need to hide it.
So be good at it.
Multiple normal states have already passed laws that protect women from any persecution for laws restricting their bodily freedoms. Mine included. And Ya they can try to take the women back but theres no way to tell why a woman left. It’s way easier to move a willing person over someone who is surrounded by a supportive community. I’d imagine this organization would help LGBTQ+ people escape as well.
I assume that’s part of the conservative goal due to how the senate works. They’re gerrymandering the shit out of house seats and hoping for a liberal flight so they can control government with their ever shrinking minority.
Red states wondering where all the entwives went…
Liberal flight is the only way they’ll learn. Even more so when they flee to neighboring rational states. Additionally with women regardless of location lean left. Outside of having check points in and out of red states, and know all women’s current pregnancy status. Enough women will leave to the point their male to female ratio is too out of balance and their populations years down the road.
