This Texas court order clearly violates the 14th amendment. The government surely can’t ask a citizen to risk their life.
14A: No State shall…deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction equal protection of the laws.
Her baby will die. How can the state ask her to risk HER life and HER fertility when a medical intervention can save both those things? I say it can’t.

My father studied law but never practised law. One thing he drilled into us (even when he disciplined us) is to never admit guilt.

Never admit guilt even if everyone involved knows you are guilty.

On December 6, 1915, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a decision upholding the Expatriation Act of 1907, which stripped American women of their citizenship when they married a non-citizen. Under that act, women who lost their U.S. citizenship could apply to be naturalized if their husbands later became American citizens—but since virtually all Asian immigrants were legally barred from becoming U.S. citizens at the time.
THIS PART RIGHT HERE👇🏾
“Meanwhile, American men who married foreign women were permitted to keep their citizenship.”

Australian populations of threatened bird species fall 60% in past 40 years
"The threatened bird index reveals largest declines in Queensland and South Australia...Since 2000 terrestrial bird species showed the greatest declines (62.5%), followed by migratory shorebirds (42.5%) and marine birds (33.8%)."
“In South Australia, a lot of the declines are in the agricultural regions...“A lot of habitat disappears and the bits left are fragments that are disconnected. And Queensland is the state where the most clearing continues.”
“First of all making sure these birds have habitat to live in – not removing any more – and removing predator species, particularly cats and foxes.”
“If we want to start turning these population trends around we need to see good, strong new laws in this term of government.”
