‘They have no options’: Texas court dims hope of timely abortion care for high-risk patients

Kristen Anaya was told she must be on the cusp of death before doctors would give a life-saving abortion

www.theguardian.com

At nearly 17 weeks pregnant, Anaya began experiencing heavy cramping and soon felt her water break. She was rushed to the hospital, where she continued to lose amniotic fluid. She developed a high fever and began shaking so uncontrollably that nurses had difficulty placing an IV. Anaya was in the early stages of sepsis, a potentially life-threatening condition.

Her OB-GYN explained that nothing could be done to save her daughter, whom Anaya had already named Tylee. Adding to Anaya’s shock, the physician informed her that to stop the infection she needed immediate abortion care, but because of Texas laws, she would have to “keep getting sicker” until the doctor could “prove” to the hospital that her life was on the line.

This isnt medieval England, it is modern day Texas. I have looked at this one and cannot see who benefits by this.

Surely once the foetus is non viable then the care of the mother is the sole focus ?

Telling a suffering woman that she needs to get more sick before she is entitled to medical help is something that only a sadist would enjoy.

It seems to me that there are a gang of primitive mentalists in texas have control over womens bodies and are having a party.

Its only women that they have control over. Never men,

Womens Lib didnt go far enough. There is still work to do in these backward shitholes.

While this is a minority of cases (like less than 2 - 3%-ish -- a majority of abortions are convenience) ... why wouldn't she just travel to neighboring New Mexico or Colorado to have her baby destroyed instead of waiting out for some doctor?

Pretty simple

Bingo. There are no walls between the states here in America. Nothing stops anyone from going from one state to another

It's a meaningless attempt to create a wedge issue. If I can't do something in state A .. there is state B where I can do it, yet ... sheeple attempt to thrive on these political issues instead of getting their personal issue resolved.

Politics is so stupid and I wish people were more educated on how things worked .. instead of knowing more about sports and pop culture and relying on celebrities to tell them how to vote.

She wanted her baby. Texas let her down.

I see this is another thread the right is hiding from.

Did you read the article? How was she supposed to get to NM or Colorado from Dallas?

TBD on that.

How a Texas man is testing out-of-state abortions by asking a court to subpoena his ex-partner

A Texas man is petitioning a court for information over his former partner's alleged out-of-state abortion, setting up a first-of-its-kind legal test to the limits of statewide abortion bans.

It's about as meaningless as ignoring the Texas abortion laws that will allow termination of a baby if there is a direct life, threat to the mother. There is no "get sicker.." it is .. it's life threatening or not.

If that's a problem .. go to another adjacent state that provides killing of an unborn child.

I read the brief .. the Guardian tends to exaggerate things .... if the unborn child was a medical emergency threatening the mother .. Texas law allows providers to make this decision.

Was it life threatening or not? .... if so, Texas permits the termination of an unborn child .. if not, New Mexico does. It's not rocket science.

There was, just not enough at that time to meet the threshold.
