and it's frustrating because I know folks donating from other states want the most bang for their buck, but until we spend more $$ in Texas this will continue. Beto got close because he had a ton of charisma and funding.

Every EMT or Paramedic I know has had a bunch of these......their chief challenge was to get her, as fast as humanly possible, to a trauma center where there was a trauma surgeon and/or OBGYN surgeon already waiting , before their patient bled out......

Ever tried to get THREE large bore IV's started in the back of a moving ambulance.????

I hope that these women sue the crap out of any politician who created these horrific laws and any hospital that refused to treat these women. This is simply barbaric and unacceptable.

So now it is OK to terminate women.
Men should be just as outraged as women over this.
Women in Texas need to call a moratorium on sex. The consequences could be death or permanent disability.
