There is nothing that prevents a prosecutor in an individual county or an individual who wants to file a lawsuit to do so,” Zaafran said. “But my hope would be, and my strong recommendation would be, that any entities out there would defer to the actions of the medical board and its judgment when a complaint has come in as to whether something was appropriate or not.”
At least we have hope.
I think that may be why the doctors are reluctant to draft actual clear guidelines. They want to give as much protection as possible, but fear their guidelines will be given the force of law.
Why should it be their responsibility to draft rules fixing terrible laws? Better to let the legislators sit in the pile they made or clean it up themselves.
Unfortunately, every member of the Texas Medical Board has been appointed by Greg Abbott at this point, and he's not appointing anyone who doesn't share his extremist ideology. What we're seeing here is just damage control in the form of public relations
Backwards-ass Texas
Governor Hot Wheels and his Cavalcade of Corruption are at it again!
Our state gov needs to be rebuilt from the ground up starting with hot wheels and he Cancun fuck budy
Nah. Just need to get rid of all the repuglicunts.
Thank you so much for governor "Hot Wheels" 🤙🤙 I'd make fun of Ken's face, but my mom had bells palsey and is in a similar state 🤷♂️
All polls point to another term for Cruz
Oh really? I feel like I've been getting positive news for Allred.
If only.

It could still turn around, but needs a big push.
Ughhhhhh how the hell does he have a 46% approval rating?!?!? Texans really don't care that he left them to die in the snow.
I'm going to continue to remain optimistic...Allred did flip a historically red district blue and he's retained control since.
But JFC every time I start to have hope for this state, they do something that really makes me wanna throw my hands up and be like "You wanna live in unfettered Christian Nationalism? Fine. Fuck you then and you get what you want." 😮💨
Same for you, only pieces of shit make fun of people’s disabilities.
Backwards-ass conservatives at large. All the red states are taking notes.
All conservatives are pure, sub-human levels of evil.
What is going on in the head of every doctor in Texas who might be in a position where an abortion would be a good idea- Prosecutor: "His/her/their judgment was not reasonable, your honor."
Exactly, this is why some OBs are shuttering their practice entirely or moving states. It's just not worth the risk.
Texas has been falling apart for a while from the inside, and it may well turn into armed corporate enclaves with fences in time.
Let's just hand texas to the libertarians and see what happens.
