"There is a battle underway in Texas right now that I believe has significant repercussions for the future of the United States of America, and who leads this country in the future.
Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two who lives in the Dallas area, is heartbreakingly finding out what it means to live in a state with one of the toughest abortion bans in this crazy country."
~ D. Earl Stephens
"In Texas, it’s heads I win, tails you lose every time when it comes to getting a legal abortion. If you get a court order saying it’s necessary for the health and life of the mother, Texas can appeal and string things out, and all the while, the mother whose life is in danger can’t get the abortion she needs not wants."

Preventing women in emergency situations from getting the healthcare they need to save their lives due to disinterested parties' non-medical opinions feels like a reduction in human rights for women.
Allow women and their doctors make medical decisions regarding their health--not a state legislature, AG, or court system.
This case becomes more disturbing by the day.

So a court — and an eminently and provably corrupt politician — get to make a critically important medical decision for a woman whose health is seriously at risk unless she receives the medical treatment she needs?
Is this a sane policy for a democratic society founded on the belief that human beings have fundamental rights to enact?

This has nothing to do with “protecting the life of a fetus” and everything to do with controlling women’s bodies.

#Texas’ #Paxton is the first AG to issue such a clear & credible threat to #hospitals & #doctors in the wake of the #SCOTUS ruling. While drs & hospitals have feared what might happen if they provide #abortions…, no #medical professional has yet been prosecuted under the new #abortion bans.
“This is the most direct confrontation we’ve seen,” said Mary Ziegler, a #law prof UC Davis.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/12/08/texas-abortion-ruling-kate-cox-supreme-court/
#Paxton said the Travis County judge’s order would not excuse the #hospital or #doctor from #civil or #criminal liability “including first degree #felony prosecutions.” He added that the temporary restraining order “will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ #abortion laws expires.”
#Doctors who perform #abortions could be sentenced to 5 or more years in #prison in many states. In #Texas, they could go to #jail for life.
In a letter addressed to the hospitals where the doctor involved in the case had admitting privileges, #KenPaxton on Thurs had threatened to take legal action if Cox had an #abortion in the state. He contended that Cox’s doctor did not meet “all of the elements necessary to fall within an exception to #Texas’ abortion laws” & that the judge was “not medically qualified to make this determination.”

On Thurs, Travis County District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, an elected Democrat, granted a temporary restraining order that would allow Cox to have an abortion under the narrow exceptions to the state’s ban. But #Texas AG #KenPaxton (R) asked the #SupremeCourt of Texas to intervene to block Cox from obtaining an #abortion.
The Center for #ReproductiveRights responded on Friday in a court filing that the request is “stunning in its disregard for Ms. Cox’s life, fertility, & the rule of law.”
The #Texas #SupremeCourt on Friday temporarily halted an order allowing a woman who is 20 weeks #pregnant to get an #abortion — reversing a lower-court ruling that marks the first case of a pregnant woman seeking a court order for the procedure since #RoeVWade was overturned last year.

The woman who won her court case today in #Texas to get the nonviable fatal-condition foetus she's carrying aborted?
#Republican AG Ken Paxton says who gives a fuck, we'll prosecute anyway.
If you want to understand why the Texas government is doubling down on extremism, it's because the oil cartel is finally facing real threats to its hegemony and is reacting poorly. They are not bright, but they are very, very rich, and getting very, very nervous.
Look at the presidential election margins over the past few cycles. More Texans voted for Biden in 2020 than voted for Trump in 2016.
Indicted felon Ken Paxton, who also happens to be the Attorney General of Texas for some reason, is threatening the doctor and hospital that are trying to save Kate Cox's life with an emergency abortion.
This is what happens when you turn your state government over to a crime syndicate that uses religious extremism as cover.
"A Texas woman is accusing her sons’ school district of failing to condemn racism after she says they were subjected to anti-Asian American taunts on the bus, and her older boy had a swastika drawn on his shirt last year.
Hai Au Huynh, 45, told NBC News that she feels she has no choice but to speak out publicly after the incidents at Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District, just outside Houston."
Pregnant Texas woman says she’s ‘hopeful’ after judge grants emergency request to get an abortion
It’s bad enough she had to go to court for a medical procedure, but to have the TX attorney general threaten hospitals & doctors even WITH the judge’s order & have his office demand more evidence for "immediate and irreparable injury" takes this disgusting situation to a new low.

I first explored space syntax 15 years ago. It has come a long way in that time. I find myself helping a student who is applying it to a very cool topic (no spoilers! - not my research). To be a better advisor, I've returned to and run some basic analyses on the road network here in Edinburg. A quick and dirty analysis, for sure, but pretty it its own way, I think.
Analysis was completed using QGIS and some minor editing in Affinity Photo.
