Hope they're successful.

If they can get that referendum abortion rights will pass easy.

Yeah, it's one of the worst states in this country to visit or move to, I'm guessing.

Sounds like the kind of thing an idiot would do. And now he's in jail, where he belongs.

Texas Attorney Who Slipped Abortion Pills in Pregnant Wife's Drink Because Baby 'Would Ruin His Plans' Gets Away with 6-Month Sentence


If abortion is murder to these people, then this guy should have been charged as such

 

[blueharvest]

That attorney should be disbarred at the very least. And hopefully most of his assets taken away and given to the wife after their divorce. Too bad he's not going to spend much time behind bars, but this is Texas, where most of the elected officials there hate women in general, for one reason or another. :furious:

Research at the heart of a federal case against the abortion pill has been retracted​

https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2024/02/09/1230175305/abortion-pill-mifepristone-retraction-supreme-court

Sage, the publisher of the journal, retracted the study on Monday along with two other papers, explaining in a statement that "expert reviewers found that the studies demonstrate a lack of scientific rigor that invalidates or renders unreliable the authors' conclusions."

It also noted that most of the authors on the paper worked for the Charlotte Lozier Institute, the research arm of anti-abortion lobbying group Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, and that one of the original peer reviewers had also worked for the Lozier Institute.

Wow. Anti-abortion activists relying on shoddy pseudoscience. What a shocker.
