Texas banned abortion. Then sepsis rates soared.
(www.propublica.org)
You think TX republicans are going to lose any sleep over 23-32 more dead women each year? Phssh.
They might. If they spend even 10 more minutes autofellating themselves with the knowledge of how much more women are suffering now because of them, that's technically 10 minutes of lost sleep.
My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they're over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.
With a bit of luck she'll freeze next winter when the power goes out again.
Great job Texas! Idiots
My condolences.
Texas lawmakers, facing mounting evidence
As if the evidence wasn't present before. Fucking idiots. And even greater idiots who have voted those idiots into positions of power. That's what you get for a lack of critical thinking: people die.
A small price to pay for the regime to keep idiots happy
Fuckin' read stepsis and was confused for a second.
Right in line with the "Life Until Birth" mantra of the GQP assholes.
Too bad people can't organize a class action suit against all the politicians who voted for it. THAT WOULD BE COOL!!!!!
Would be a waste of money and would probably get the attorneys involved in filing it sanctioned. Texas statutes provide immunity to officials acting in official capacity. Unfortunately. Prosecutors might have a little more luck pursuing a negligent homicide case because the courts should be reluctant to allow officials to kill people- at least enough that the prosecutors can make an argument that they are acting on a good faith understanding of the immunity law and shouldn't be sanctioned for pursuing the case (still some risk).
I've been wondering whether Musk not being an actual representative would land him in a non-protected role from repercussions. Say the U.S. population sueing him for losing the $500 billion the IRS talked about. How much would be fair? Penny for penny. Leave him hundreds of billions in debt and he'd hopefully he'd call it time to step down and leave the U.S. because he couldn't afford to have security details or even a house.
In Texas, you say.
Having been to Texas a few times I'm quite certain that an increased death rate there is only a positive
Like yeah some innocent people who dont vote for evil are being hurt by this, but the vast majority are gonna be people the world is better off without, honestly. Yay, fuck em
vast majority
56% voted for Trump.
What state are you from that has such poor math and English education? I'd like to similarly mock them.
56% voted for Trump.
And even more than that regularly vote for other horrid people and things. Trump ain't the only cunt, dumbass
