    I will try to hold back too many profanities, but it’s seriously FUCKED UP that anyone but this woman and her doctor know that she’s pregnant, with a doomed fetus, and needs an abortion, and it’s FUCKED UP that anyone gets to overrule her decision, and it’s FUCKED UP that she has to flee the state during an obviously traumatic time, and it’s FUCKED UP that the FUCKERS will vilify her now, hell maybe even prosecute her, and it’s FUCKED UP that making a difficult time much more difficult is “good politics” in the state of Texas, which, by the way, is an utterly FUCKED UP place.

      Agreed.

      I should not know her name. I should not know her intimate personal details.

      She should have been able to mourn her loss in private with her loved ones. Not on the national stage as an example. She should not be at risk of prosecution because of this unfortunate situation.

        Good news! You don’t know the names of the thousands upon thousands of other women and girls in similar positions who don’t have the resources or skin pigmentation to be able to bring a case against the state or make headlines like this.

        Oh wait, that’s maybe not such good news…

      What is worse is that, as she at least has means/options (to hire a lawyer, to leave the state, etc), many woman do not.

      Can I repeat that it’s FUCKED UP!

        It’s also pretty FUCKED UP that she was cleared for the procedure by one judge, giving her a glimmer of relief, only to have that snatched back by the Texas Supreme Court like 2 days later.

        This whole situation & every lawmaker involved is proper fucked.

      These extreme right wing fanatic religious nuts, are the ones that make me doubt humanity will make it past a few generations more.

        It will if we don’t let them get away with this.

        Protests do work. There are more of us than them, and we don’t have to passively let them do this to us.

      This reply not only utilized the word fuck effectively, but also really had no other choice as it is, just so utterly Fucked up. No wonder there is a brain drain going on right now in Texas. I would want to leave too.
