The idea that the GOP in Texas thinks people of good will will want to live for any amount of time, under this oppressive regime. . . is puzzling to me at least.
Here is that appallingly misguided action, as allowed (at least for now) by Texas's fundamentally unconstitutional statute:
. . .Three women in Texas are being sued for wrongful death by a man who claims they helped his now-ex-wife obtain medication for an abortion. It's another test of state-enforced bans since the U.S. Supreme court overturned the Roe v. Wade decision.
In a lawsuit filed late Thursday in Galveston County, Marcus Silva alleges assisting in a self-administered abortion is tantamount to aiding a murder. Silva is seeking $1 million in damages.
The woman who took the medication in July -- weeks after the Supreme Court struck down the constitutional right to abortion that had been in place since 1973 -- is not named in the lawsuit. Texas law protects women who get an abortion from being held liable. . . .
This suit is destined to be tossed, if need be, on appeal. And Mr. Silva ought to ashamed of himself. Onward, with better things ahead this afternoon, on a gray Saturday.
