Hours before the ruling, a group representing the woman, whose fetus received a fatal diagnosis, said she was leaving Texas for an abortion.

The court ruled that the lower court made a mistake in ruling that the woman, Kate Cox, who is more than 20 weeks pregnant, was entitled to a medical exception.

…

Ms. Cox asked the lower court for approval after she learned that her fetus had a fatal condition, and after several trips to the emergency room.

In short, the life or health exemptions to abortion bans in Republican-controlled states are meaningless.

      Or his stance on Palestine, or how he isn’t just allowing Russia to steal Ukraine, or Hunter’s dong, or any other fucking thing the media thinks they can use to turn the election into a horse race.

        But if this were the lopsided landslide that it actually should be, the poor media companies will suffer. We can’t just have a normal, run-of-the-mill race any more. That’s not entertaining enough. Nope. Gotta make those quarterly earnings, democracy be damned. I mean, who needs a functioning government these days anyway?

      Oh, and how the feelings of The Man On The Street regarding inflation and job insecurity is a reason to…checks notes…punish not only Biden, but all of America for these feelings.
