    Texas’ highest court ruled that the state law never required that the risk to a mother’s life be “imminent” when weighting whether they are eligible for an abortion. Because of this, the court wrote: “Ms. Zurawski’s agonizing wait to be ill ‘enough’ for induction, her development of sepsis, and her permanent physical injury are not the results the law commands,” the Los Angeles Times reported.

    Oh, now that’s interesting (in the dumbest way possible). Because the lawmakers who wrote the abortion law were ignorant fucks that wouldn’t know a vagina from their own urethra, the near death experiences these women endured weren’t caused by their attempt to adhere to the law?

    That’s just straight up malicious. If following the law puts your life at risk, then wtf is the point of following the law? Why shouldn’t these women get an abortion if the choice is between abortion and jail or a very high likelihood of death?

    Wtf does governing mean in Texas?
