Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

If I were her I would stay gone by any means necessary. Texas is not going to be here friend after this. Texas is very sad place. There are many people in Texas who hate all of this and they feel pretty helpless. The Republicans have had Texas by the balls for decades.

With something as high-profile and publicly broadcast as her series of events, she would almost certainly have to stay gone. Prosecutors will be itching to make an example out of her and anybody associated with her out-of-state trip.

She is for sure not safe in Texas at this point. I feel terrible for her. Having an unviable pregnancy is hard enough. To be fighting in court on international news is traumatizing.

I'm not 100% on this, but doesn't Texas have a bounty law paying people to turn in accomplices to abortion?

If it's true, not only is she not safe in Texas, she will literally be hunted for a paycheck.

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They do, but those laws have failed in every situation I've read.

Apparently Oklahoma deemed their bounty law unconstitutional.

In Texas, a case got thrown out because the plaintiff must show that they've been harmed by the actions of the defendant. Some random jackass can't sue for an abortion that doesn't impact them in any way, as much as the Texas legislature would like that to be the case.

[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not ideal that those laws exist uncontested, but at least they aren't enforceable

[–] jettrscga@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Yeah probably working as intended unfortunately. They're just there to be a nuisance and deterrent even if they're unenforceable.

[–] reluctantpornaccount@reddthat.com 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

They did, but I'm pretty sure people killed it with automated bogus reports in mass of the state leaders.

[–] Seasoned_Greetings@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago

That's fucking great news, honestly

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Prove you're human:

✅️ I am human

Error: You are not human if you support this.

I mean... was Texas her friend before this?
