Ken Paxton issues threat after judge ruled this week that Cox, a pregnant woman with a lethal fetal diagnosis, can get an abortion
The Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, has threatened to prosecute any doctor who provides an abortion to Kate Cox, a woman with a non-viable pregnancy, advising hospitals to ignore a court order issued on Thursday allowing her to get the procedure.
The rightwing Paxton issued the warning to three Houston-area hospitals after a Texas judge ruled this week that Cox, a pregnant woman with a lethal fetal diagnosis, may obtain an abortion under the narrow medical exceptions offered by the state bans.
In a brazen dismissal of the court’s decision, Paxton wrote that the judge’s order “will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability”.
Paxton also wrote that the hospital where Cox obtains an abortion “may be liable for negligent credentialing the physician” who performs the procedure.
Man, it would really be “sad” if he tripped and fell into a pit full of filthy dull knives and venomous snakes. Just a real “tragedy.”
That’s cruel. Those poor snakes.
I like to think that the snakes will move out of the way, let him fall on the knives, and then use his body to climb out of the pit. Snakes be smart like that :)
yeah, lets keep the snakes out of this, the poor tetanusses will have to suffer Paxton though 😢
He doesn’t care about a baby that won’t even be born, he just wants her to die for being a woman who had sex with someone who wasn’t him.
It’s not about her having sex with someone that wasn’t him- I guarantee he couldn’t care less about that.
What he does care about is that he needs to control her every move and decision along with his voting base can’t think for themselves and need to be controlled by scum just like this piece of shit.
They’re all cowards that won’t think for themselves.
It’s literally about fear and control. They keep their base afraid.
It’s not too late to abort Ken Paxton.
Ken Paxton is a perfect poster child for abortion. Some humans are just pure evil.
Also Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
Don’t insult people with that
Greatest country on earth ladies and gentlemen, land of the free my arse.
Look at this idiot, he even looks like a republican.
What? The “land of the free”? Whoever told you that is your enemy
Um. That would be school.
(looks at school)
Oh. Right.
The “land of the free”? Whoever told you that is your enemy
Francis Scott Key is that enemy
we don’t need the key we’ll break in
Like what the hackiest cartoonist would draw if asked to draw a republican.
Have you done your duty and told a conservative they’re an idiot today?
Not exactly. There was a nice lady at the bus stop I was having a normal conversation with, and after 10 or 15 minutes she suddenly started talking angrily about how “blacks” are “lazy” and always on the news for doing something.
I was speechless, so she turned to me and asked, “do you like the blacks?” I slowly nodded my head, it was all I could do, I was so shocked. Then she goes “oh, okay,” and just drops the subject. Now I’m shocked for a second time at how damn polite this woman is about such a hateful belief.
Later on, the bus comes, and we get on. For context, the driver is a black man, and there are a few other people on the bus, none of them white. She has a very friendly conversation with the driver, and a one point she turns to me, and she tries to tell me he’s one of the good “blacks,” except instead of “blacks” she makes a vague gesture with her hand and adds, “like I was telling you about.”
All this to say, I was too baffled to call her an idiot. Sorry for going way off topic, I’ve just been stuck on that weird interaction all day. I mean, I’ve met racist people before, but I’ve never been treated so much like one of the “in group” that agrees with them, especially after saying that I don’t. For that matter, I’ve never been politely asked, “Do you like the blacks?” before. Ugh, sorry. Just a weird day.
I hope that they keep doubling down. When unlikely voters show up… They tend to vote down ballot.
Literally the dog that caught the car.
What. The. Fuck.
It was never about life. It’s about power and control.
Christofascist isn’t just a neat pun. Guys like him masturbate to The Handmaid’s Tale.
and a loooot of conservatives feel similarly. Bunch of weak men mistaking their agression for confidance and not the fear-driven response that it is.
Wait it’s a pun? I thought it was just an agglutination
A fucking what?
Isn’t that when you can’t eat bread?
More like a portmanteau, I think.
Bold of you to assume he can read.
Doubt that assumption was made. He would be getting off on the TV series.
I’m sure you will be glad to know that I did realize this as well. I just thought it was a funny comment.
:-)
Good point.
Why do people like AG Paxton keep trying to insert themselves between people like this woman and God?
Because they are arrogant pieces of shit.
You guys remember Death Panels, the anti-Obamacare cry that legislatures want to get between you and your doctor to decide who can get care?
Every Republican who jumped on that bandwagon needs to eat crow and realize they flipped like a bitch when it suited their anti-abortion argument.
That don’t care. They don’t even feel. Unless it’s anger
Well careful now… Mike Johnson was ordained by God, almost a second Moses, and those rights to rule are not from government but the Almighty. And we all know Anger isn’t from God but from the devil.
/s (if it wasn’t obvious)
Keep banning books and privatizing schools folks, this is the indoctrination we’ll end up with.
Not just almost a second Moses, according to him.
Nonsense. They also feel schadenfreude.
They’re not gonna eat crow; they knew they were referring to themselves.
They were worried that they wouldn’t be the ones running the death panels
can we just destroy texas
I keep saying “expel them from the Union for being more trouble than they’re worth” but people think I’m joking.
Only state to fight a war for slavery twice btw
They have so much of our oil, though. Maybe we’d be okay with Alaska and renewable investment…
As someone who lives in Texas: FUCKING PLEASE.
But let those of us not on the Christian Nationalist train get refugee status in the states that are still sane though, please and thank you!
They’re going to kill this woman, they’re going to do it on national TV… and then they’re going to cheer about it
The cruelty is the point.
I just wish all these fucks would get wrekt, evil hoofwanking thunder cunts
WTF is this ramble at the end on about?
“While the Biden administration continues to make up rules that are unconstitutional, I will keep holding them accountable,” Paxton said in a statement released earlier this year. “I will not allow the Biden administration to threaten doctors and hospitals with this unlawful mandate and put millions of Texans’ access to healthcare on the line.”
Projection, the P part of GOP.
Ah yes, the Grand Old Projection party.
The “party” p is lowercase because the name is not referring to a proper political party but rather to a group of people came together to have fun among themselves while making the lives of everyone else a living hell, just like frats do during off-seasons.
Grandstand
Obstruct
Project.
Fuck that guy. I hope his dick falls off
Won’t someone rid us of this meddlesome clown’s penis?
If karma were real, it’d be long gone
Maybe it’s already gone, and that’s why he’s so angry.
I didn’t get nearly so angry when I cut my dick off, I think he’s just hateful

One of the only things of any value to come from the Trump administration, is that these cowards are no longer worried about saying the quiet thing out loud.
It’s like cockroaches that aren’t afraid of the light anymore- but still love bing cockroaches.
Don’t worry, cockroaches respect the democratic process and human rights. Just keep voting for the status quo and everything will be okay.
Lol
