    Any doctor who complies with this ban is a worthless piece of shit. Not as bad as the subhumans who wrote it and voted for it, but pretty fucking close.

      “Physicians who violate Texas’s abortion laws can lose their medical licenses, face up to 99 years in prison or incur fines of at least $100,000, according to the Center for Reproductive Rights”

      You wouldn’t have to deal with any decision as hard as this. How can you say a doctor is complicit? They’re likely just doing their best then a law gets put in place threatening life in prison.

      Unless you’re put in that position, you have no room to say that shit.

        If a doctor is willing to stand there with their thumb up their asshole while their patient dies an easily preventable death, they’re a failure as a doctor and as a human being. At best, it’s negligent manslaughter.

        If you’re too much of a cowardly little rat to stand up against fascism to save a life, don’t be a fucking doctor; quit and go work at Taco Bell you belong.

          Yea! Why don’t they all just line up to lose their medical licenses? That way they can’t help anyone!

          Shortsighted dumbass…

            Must be nice living in your sheltered little bubble where the deaths are abstract and doing the right thing when lives are at stake is the wrong thing to do.

            You’re a morally bankrupt scumbag. People like you are the reason fascists win.

          A doctor that throws away a career of helping people to make a political point once is probably not helping as many people as a doctor that avoids going to jail.

          I understand the impulse here but the reality is that texas legislators would probably prefer to reduce the number of doctors available to the poors.
