We should believe him. I have every expectation that he will hold up his fellow malignant misogynist from the TX court’s ruling but he will do it late on Friday in the hope that it’ll slip under the radar…because Alito is not only a rabid misogynist, he is also a coward.

Yet he's making these decisions for the women of this country - women he will never know will suffer and some will die, as they did a century or more ago.

When did become routine that healthcare is dictated by the courts? Montana is currently off the rails in this regard.

I’m so MAD!

She said that a patient was expecting a much wanted baby - but it was determined that the fetus suffered a grave abnormality, would be born with no brain. The responsible expectant mother made a tough decision, that she would schedule a cesarean and donate the organs of this doomed fetus to help other newborns survive. Also, if this fetus came to term and was born naturally, the head would likely explode, causing the mother to become septic.

However, the deadline in New York for this procedure was 24 weeks - and this woman was at 26 weeks when she got this terrible news, so this would not be allowed in New York State. My dentist said that she had to go out of state (I don't know where) to get this procedure - which would save newborn lives - done.
