People need to stop living in Texas, then. People should help them move.

More people should be moving to Texas if it is ever going to be a swing state again.

I was under the impression that there was an exemption for livesaving abortions.

The doctors are worried about being sued if the circumstances aren't life-threatening enough.

There is. But the law also allows any hobo off the street to sue the doctor and force a trial in a court of law over whether the circumstances were life-threatening enough.

 Oh no. Don't you dare. This is what you and yours sought with this bill and cheered it on right up to the present day. Don't you dare blame doctors for the position that you and other so called "pro life" fanatics put them and pregnant women into with this law. This is at  You're in your ilk's feet alone pal.

This is exactly what happens when you ban abortion while supposedly allowing an exception to save the life of the mother.  What is the criteria for determining whether or not an abortion would be lifesaving?  Who decides the criteria, doctors or government bureaucrats?  What if the doctor thinks an abortion might be necessary to save the mother's life, but isn't certain?

If a doctor risks prosecution to allow for an abortion that he or she believes might be necessary to save the mother's life, that doctor is to be admired.

It's in the article you dolt.

Quote
"Basically, the doctor looked at me and was like, well, the baby's underdeveloped," says Anna. "Even with the best NICU care in the world, they're not going to survive."

And as painful as it was to hear that, the doctors told Anna there was another urgent concern.

" 'You're at a high chance of going septic or bleeding out,' " she says the doctors told her — a risk of infection or hemorrhage, which could become deadly. " 'And unfortunately, we recommend termination, but we cannot provide you one here in Texas because of this law.' "

But under Texas law, abortions are allowed at that stage only for severe medical emergencies, defined as when a patient is "in danger of death or a serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function."

And because fetal heart tones were detectable, doctors told Anna they couldn't offer her that option.

Have you ever read past the headline in your life?

Saying "to get lifesaving abortion" implies she will die. The article talks about complications and possibilities, not a guarantee. But, you knew this and tried to stretch the argument to make your point.

Any abortion law needs to guarantee doctors the legal latitude to make decisions that are consistent with the ethics of their profession and their patient's health.
