You have to have an MD and a way to get to the hospital in an emergency. Is there anymore requirements. I don't know why they are giving up.

Not sarcastic at all. I figured Texas for one of those states that claims to have legal abortion but managed to shut down all the clinics.

are treated in hospitals (including Catholic hospitals) because it is an emergency situation, and usually requires surgery.

which would be much faster than one of the clinics esp after normal business hours.

Quite possibly if you showed up at a clinic they may send you to an ER depending upon how bad it is. As I understand it they can be treated with either meds or surgery if bad enough.

If only there was a group in Texas that could pressure gun stores to close ... close a gun shop for every abortion clinic closed. Use the same tactics as abortion protesters, make "Guns Are Murder" signs & block store entrances. Have "sidewalk counselors" trying to convince people to find an alternative to a firearm.

Again, I feel like Democrats are too damn timid to get out & do this, to do something that would get the attention of the old white men who want to control women's choices, & make them realize how absurd their actions are & that they violate women's rights.

Clips of them saying how we have to do everything possible to save American lives and then other clips of them doing everything possible to block bills that would save American lives. Passing gun control laws was one of those things.

All these women screaming about the beautiful babies should be spending every other day at the gun store. Because guns kill actual people...so never mind.
