      ***From Rolling Stone’s Tessa Stuart:***

      *Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton charges ahead with an effort to prevent doctors from providing emergency care, as maternal mortality spikes.*

      The state of Texas is asking the Supreme Court to allow it to continue denying emergency medical care to pregnant women, pretty please. The request, which the justices will consider at conference on Monday, September 30, comes on the heels of a new report that shows the state’s maternal mortality rate has spiked dramatically since the state’s first ban on abortion went into effect in 2021.

      Across the United States, maternal mortality rose 11 percent between 2019 to 2022; in Texas, over the same period, the maternal death rate surged 56 percent, according to an analysis of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data conducted by the Gender Equity Policy Institute.

      “There’s only one explanation for this staggering difference in maternal mortality,” Nancy L. Cohen, the institute’s president, told NBC News. “All the research points to Texas’ abortion ban as the primary driver of this alarming increase.”

      Five weeks before an election that could hinge on outrage over abortion restrictions, officials in Texas are nevertheless charging ahead with their effort to ensure that the state can block doctors from providing emergency medical treatment to pregnant residents. The state sued the Department of Health and Human Services, arguing that the Biden administration violated the Medicare and Administrative Procedure Acts when it issued guidance clarifying that hospitals are required to provide emergency abortions if necessary to preserve a woman’s health — even in states that, like Texas, ban abortion.

      The names of these women should be read on the nightly news and printed on the front page of whatever newspapers still use ink

      Each time

      The sad, awful, absolutely insane thing is that even the most rabid anti-abortion activists of yesteryear recognized that abortion care and D&C’s were acceptable in cases of “rape, incest, and to protect the life of the mother”.

      I was always opposed even to that level of restriction on women’s personal freedom to choose… But what we’ve got now is just absolutely insane, negligent, and frankly homicidal. Total abortion bans flat out kill women.

      What’s next, ban anesthesia and analgesia? Randomly ban other medical procedures? Makes zero sense.

      …no justification for this ban that kills…those who supported this ban should be held accountable for murder…

      Texas asks Supreme Court to keep sentencing women to death BY DENYING HEALTHCARE.

      Whenever any government becomes destructive to the ends of Mr. Paxton here, it is your right to alter or abolish him. Make him an example of taking away our freedoms.

      Fact:

      You make more money if you don’t kill your own workforce.

      55th in infant and mother mortality in the world and getting worse.

      Corrupt conservatives on SCOTUS, as they tuck their luxury vacation vouchers and keys to their latest new house/RV/boat/whatever: “Sure!”

      > If all of this sounds familiar, it is because a case that pivoted on a very similar question came before the Supreme Court last session; the court dismissed that case – Moyle v. United States – without ruling on the merits.

      > The group, which claims it helped draft the Mississippi abortion ban the Supreme Court used to knock down Roe, was tapped by Idaho Attorney General Raúl Labrador to defend that state's abortion ban at the Supreme Court in the previous case involving emergency abortions before the court this year.

      This is what happens when you replace reality, with a made up religion, they will double down, and continue to ignore the real world in order to live in their made up fantasy land, while the real world suffers. Vote these mother Fockers out !!!

    16. Elmer_Editions on

      The same people who constantly complain about the low birth rate want to kill and punish women for being pregnant. It makes no sense at all

    17. TestamentofDrMabuse on

      This isn’t about preserving life. It’s about preserving a Christian nationalist ideology and staying in power.

    20. althor2424 on

      Some Drumpf apologists in r/Texas tried arguing with me yesterday that the state doesn’t actually ban abortion and the Turd didn’t make it illegal in the state. I am so tired of the pedantic Trump apologists that don’t have a fucking clue of the real world

    21. Lynda73 on

      I’m sure the ‘there are exceptions guyyyys, don’t be dramatic’ crowd will be along shortly to tell us how we are ‘misinterpreting’ this.

    22. Ok_Step_4324 on

      I swear to God, that man wakes up every day and thinks “What can I do today to be even more evil than I was yesterday?”

    24. PineTreeBanjo on

      Ah yes. Killing the people who keep your population afloat.  An amazing strategy!

    25. InevitableAvalanche on

      I feel like Texas is doing this to scare normal people away. Just religious crazies who vote Republican would want to risk their lives to live somewhere women can’t get proper healthcare.

    26. serenidade on

      This was so obviously going to be the consequence of their abortion bans. Now that we’re seeing the deadly, inhumane result Republucans are threatening doctors for *not* saving women’s lives, while threatening them with prison if they do provide life saving care. People like MTG claim stories of women who have already died (brutally, needlessly, in agony) are lies.

      You can’t have it both ways!!! Yes, conservative voters & politicians, **you** are to blame for these deaths! That anyone would claim to be pro-life while supporting the Republican party is pure insanity. Welcome to the post-truth era.

    27. rodentmaster on

      The cruelty is the point. Repressing and controlling women as a sub-human class, to be used and victimized by those in power. We’ve been there. It didn’t work well. Let’s not go backwards.

    28. Animal_King_Takeover on

      To be fair, Republicans recently killed way more people by way of COVID (and frankly criminal mismanagement thereof.) What’s a few more to them?

    29. purplegladys2022 on

      We’re talking about the GOP, right? The (checks notes) pro-life party?

      How about that.

    30. DescriptionTrick1437 on

      If you want change then stop electing people like Abbott and Cruise. To all those women who vote for Republicans please don’t blame the rest if you get pregnant with a down syndrome and can’t get a abortion.

    31. Rude-Expression-8893 on

      And not a single riot….I guess women’s life worth even less than lives of all those gunned school kids, huh?

    32. anime_rocker on

      So I’m wondering how much the suicide rate for women would go up if abortion is outlawed in all 50 states if things go terribly wrong going into the future.

    33. Careless_Oil_2103 on

      Can’t shit like this completely flip the state blue or am I tripping? I know people are dumb but this is noticeable to even them…

    34. BioDriver on

      I fucking hate that man. Ken Paxton belongs in jail, not downtown Austin

    35. Ultimo_Ninja on

      Time for a constitutional amendment to allow abortion everywhere. If the left is serious on this issue, that’s what they need to work towards.

    36. Confident-Lock-5179 on

      My daughter is taking hormone/birth control because it helps control her seizures (she has never had sex and never will as she has other issues), she has intractable epilepsy. So…if this becomes illegal, she could possibly die from seizures..👏 bravo fucking idiots.

    38. dpdxguy on

      Many women will die, but that’s a price Texas’s old white men (and one little piss baby) are willing to make them pay.

    39. sombertimber on

      The cruelty is the point. It’s the only plank in the Republican Party platform that is consistent these days.

      Taking away lunches from poor kids. Holding up aid to Ukraine for months. Keeping guns in schools and banning books about inclusivity. Forcing birth upon rape victims and then denying them financial assistance and medical care. It’s just cruel….
