I would say the doctors are reading the top lawyer in TX’s own words. What good does it do to “read the law” when the power of the state tells you to not bother, you’ll have plenty of time to read in prison. Paxton made it clear that he’s coming after all involved because the statute of limitations outlasts the court order. This is a lady who is carrying a dead fetus. She wants to abort so that she can try to have a live one. Making her carry to term jeopardizes that. I can’t understand how a mechanism even exists to make someone this level of zealot, and demand The State stomps out its citizens like this. This lady WANTS A BABY.
Most Evangelicals, but don't think that tag necessarily applies across the denominational spectrum. Don't know how to copy and paste a graph from the Pew site, but here is a link to one you might find of interest. Religious Landscape Study
I can answer that one of two ways, depending upon your meaning (if you don’t mean both): 1. They believe they’re right, but most of humanity wouldn’t think so. 2. I probably should have said far right, but maybe you meant to also include those extremists in “all Christians”.
You’d be absolutely correct if only they followed the New Testament and the teachings of Jesus. I would be a Christian had I long ago not concluded that the spiritual and secular are bound together and inseparable, one serving the other.
With a good percentage of Christians identifying as evangelical or Catholic, who i anticipate are more conservative, imo overall Christianity would tip right-leaning politically. But not by far with more Christians becoming unaffiliated. need to see political affiliation by denomination. A couple of examples of left/right positions in a Church's operations: Methodist Church just had a split over gays in leadership roles. SBC last year voted to continue to restrict women from ministry-leadership roles. Ironically SBC had horrible issues with sexual assault/harassment amongst some of their male leaders.
And you need to read the law. Read the decision. And you will see that every mother has the ability to terminate their pregnancy if their life is in jeopardy. And the courts have left that for the doctors.
Yes, I read the 'decision'. Did you read Ken Paxton's letter to the 3 hospitals in post #166? How do you reconcile the conflict between what you claim and the content of the letter to the hospitals?
Or the lawyer from Idaho stating to the Supreme Court that he couldn't be 100% sure that in every case the doctor would be able to do what was medically necessary to save the mother's life.
Did you? “it is the hospitals-not the courts-that have the training, responsibility, and discretion to "determine, in accordance with state law and with the advice of the medical staff, which categories of practitioners are eligible candidates for appointment to the medical staff." 25 Tex. Admin. Code § 133.41(f) (4) (F) (2021).” This is the most important part. Third and Fourth build on it. Did the hospital and doctors fail the mother? Certainly possible. But it was not the law.
Failed her how? SHE WANTS TO HAVE A BABY. Now her, the doctor, and the hospital are targets. Why can’t you come off this absurdity?
