Texas judge halts state abortion bans in cases of ‘emergent medical conditions’ threatening pregnant patients
A #TX judge ruled on Fri that the state must allow #doctors to provide #abortions to pregnant women whose #health or lives are in danger, or whose fetuses have little likelihood of survival.
The ruling broadens & clarifies the limited exceptions granted in the state’s #AbortionBans…. & it temporarily bars state ofcls… from prosecuting doctors who, in their “good faith judgment & in consultation w/the pregnant person,” determine that an #abortion is #MedicallyNecessary.

"As North Carolina’s 12-week abortion ban is due to come into effect on 1 July, an analysis from the non-profit Center for Political Accountability (CPA) shows several major corporations donated large sums to a Republican political organization which in turn funded groups working to elect anti-abortion state legislators."

"Republicans have made their position for 2024 clear, forcing through an extreme abortion ban overnight in North Carolina that will decimate reproductive health access in the South.
Similar measures are also being considered in the Nebraska and South Carolina Republican-majority legislatures."

"Conservatives claim that their policies are protecting peoples’ personal freedoms. Yet the policies they push most fervently during elections and while in power are mainly focused on taking away peoples’ freedoms. Anti-LGBTQ legislation, abortion bans, book-banning, classroom censorship, etc… are all about limiting the freedoms of Americans."

"Freedom means you get to live your life according to your own beliefs and values. It does not mean that you get to force everyone else to live their lives according to your beliefs and values...
Those who are banning books, censoring classrooms, taking away women’s bodily autonomy and passing anti-LGBTQ laws (among other things) are promoting the opposite of freedom."
