The ruling by a unanimous panel of fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on abortion exceptions

The US government cannot enforce federal guidance in Texas requiring emergency room doctors to perform abortions if necessary to stabilize emergency room patients, a federal appeals court ruled on Tuesday, siding with the state in a lawsuit accusing Joe Biden’s administration of overstepping its authority.

The ruling by a unanimous panel of the fifth US circuit court of appeals comes amid a wave of lawsuits focusing on when abortions can be provided in states whose abortion bans have exceptions for medical emergencies.

    The ones who enabled this won’t though.

    Hard right conservative males are not going to get pregnant.

      Let’s not act like there isn’t a huge amount of women who enabled this. 52% of white women voted for Trump and one of his biggest campaign promises was repealing Roe v Wade.

      Some women are fine with this until it suddenly affects them individually

          the key story from this, to me, is the woman protesting outside a clinic every day, comes in one day to get an abortion, and then goes back to join the picket line.

            Part of what gets me about it is that I totally understand how they wind up like that. Lapses are acceptable in Christianity, but committing to sin isn’t. Add in the fact that completely changing your mind and lifestyle is hard and slow, especially when it comes with confessing those changes to your social circle knowing you will be rejected for it. Furthermore Christians love people who are desperate and in moral and social turmoil, they prey on such people. So when she felt that way she already believed in that, so they might’ve even tightened their hold on her.
