It was never about life. It's about power and control.
For the Republicans, it’s not about protecting babies, it’s about punishing women.
Just plain cruelty. There's no hate like Christian love.
Fuck that guy. I hope his dick falls off
Won't someone rid us of this meddlesome clown's penis?

As a physician, I am completely lost as to why any OB-GYN (or other healthcare professional, for that matter) still feels comfortable practicing in the state of Texas.
They literally criminalized healthcare and turned doctors into potential perps. I'd be terrified that a patient unplanned miscarriage would turn into a murder investigation with me as the primary suspect.
I could totally see Texas go after a physician with SWAT and trash their house and kill their dog when bringing them in just to make an example for everyone else.
Sad but I can’t imagine practicing in Texas and feeling safe.
So hold him in contempt of court. Otherwise he’ll be emboldened and do it more
Given the diagnosis and complications that have already occurred, this seems like it goes beyond contempt of court to me. I would consider this to be attempted murder of the mother.
WTF is this ramble at the end on about?
“While the Biden administration continues to make up rules that are unconstitutional, I will keep holding them accountable,” Paxton said in a statement released earlier this year. “I will not allow the Biden administration to threaten doctors and hospitals with this unlawful mandate and put millions of Texans’ access to healthcare on the line.”
Projection, the P part of GOP.
Ah yes, the Grand Old Projection party.
The "party" p is lowercase because the name is not referring to a proper political party but rather to a group of people came together to have fun among themselves while making the lives of everyone else a living hell, just like frats do during off-seasons.

It's not too late to abort Ken Paxton.
Ken Paxton is a perfect poster child for abortion. Some humans are just pure evil.

Reading this as a non-American, it feels surreal. How can such a basic right be stripped from all women, and then have men stand up and defend such a disgusting situation. Do they have no shame? No moral compass?
Don’t forget the contempt for law and order - ignoring a court decision for personal beliefs as an AG
As a Canadian it makes me feel like we need to grant asylum to American refugees

They don't. That's what it means to be a Republican.

He doesn't care about a baby that won't even be born, he just wants her to die for being a woman who had sex with someone who wasn't him.
It’s not about her having sex with someone that wasn’t him- I guarantee he couldn’t care less about that.
What he does care about is that he needs to control her every move and decision along with his voting base can’t think for themselves and need to be controlled by scum just like this piece of shit.
They’re all cowards that won’t think for themselves.

Some of these republicans have never even heard of angry mobs pulling people who destroy their lives out of their homes and returning the favor. Just fucking with people with impunity.
Man I'd love to see lynching brought back for these scum.
They're pushing for it, don't be surprised when it happens.
They're going to push us until we break, and then act like we're the animals when they've caged us. Vote in your local elections. Find these fuckers on the streets and call them out. Make them scared to take a shit at their local organic grocery chain.

Man, it would really be “sad” if he tripped and fell into a pit full of filthy dull knives and venomous snakes. Just a real “tragedy.”
What a shit state to be in.
Have you done your duty and told a conservative they're an idiot today?
I hope that they keep doubling down. When unlikely voters show up.... They tend to vote down ballot.
Literally the dog that caught the car.
Why do people like AG Paxton keep trying to insert themselves between people like this woman and God?
Because they are arrogant pieces of shit.
He just interfered with this woman's ability to pursue legal Healthcare to protect her life. If she dies as a result of the medical complications associated with the pregnancy, I don't see how he doesn't get charged with manslaughter at a minimum.

Texas Senate overturns Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment by the state House

What an efficient use of tax dollars. Smh
Get out of texas as quickly as you can.
Republicans are fucking ghouls.
One of the only things of any value to come from the Trump administration, is that these cowards are no longer worried about saying the quiet thing out loud.
It’s like cockroaches that aren’t afraid of the light anymore- but still love bing cockroaches.

This poor woman. Wtf instead of just getting her life saving care she has to watch idiots arguing about it for months.
Sounds like attempted murder.
He should adopt the baby if he wants it so much.
I feel like that's all that's needed to drop a SLAPP suit on him, which is Ironic because Anti-SLAPP laws are one of the areas where Texas is actually ahead of the curve
Fuck Texas.
