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.
Fuck me. What premise to hang a judicial argument on. They openly are fighting for “no exemptions, no matter what” and are willing to force doctors and nurses to break their medical oaths to do that, under color of law.
If you’re a medical professional who has any dealings with women, it’s time to leave Texas. The goals of the state, and yours as a medical practitioner, irrefutably do not align. Ken Paxton will hunt you down via lawfare, slander your name in public, and ruin your life if you dare to care for a dying patient that you can save from death.
He’s going to do it even if you don’t live or practice in the state.
