The seven-months-pregnant officer reported contraction-like pains at work, but said she wasn’t allowed to leave for hours. The anti-abortion state is fighting her lawsuit, in part by saying her fetus didn’t clearly have rights.

Holy shit, I can't imagine a scenario where the state and prison could have acted any worse. That article goes from bad to worse to nuclear annihilation 😐
i didnt bother to read it because texas does whatever it wants and only the federal gov't can give this woman a reprieve of any kind; but so long as that ass hat biden is in charge; nothing will happen.
That's a state prison. State's rights yeah? Not Biden's responsibility, not Biden's problem. Look at the Texas governor if you want to be mad at someone
Maybe you should read the article to find out why your content makes zero sense whatsoever. Assuming you know that the president personally fucked this woman over is crazy.
Because we have a weirdly structured federalist system where people arbitrarily decided what could be regulated federally and then said it's so sacrosanct that it can or should never be changed, ever, for all of time. Also, making new laws is illegal. Triple stamped it no erasies
the US idolizes productivity, and ignores the lower classes' needs because they don't fund campaigns. the younger generations have more empathy so theres hope.
Some, but not all. My mid-20s niece and her husband are racist. My kid is in high school and is friends with a pack of awesome kids who give me tremendous hope for the future, but there are lots of Tate fans, Trump fans, and other shitheads there too.
Kids are just younger people, they come in all different kinds just like adults - and just like adults, some of them are assholes.
Not saying we should write them off, just saying we shouldn't be complacent about the inherent goodness and decency of youth, because it's fictitious. They learn everything from watching us, and sometimes those lessons suck.
Come on, misogyny is definitely part of the ideology of the right, but let's not act like there aren't plenty of liberal misogynists - have you ever read a Reddit thread having anything to do with women?
"So far, the U.S. Supreme Court has skirted the issue. It refused to take up a related case out of Rhode Island in October, and Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the Dobbs ruling that it “is not based on any view about if and when prenatal life is entitled to any of the rights enjoyed after birth.”
Now, Ziegler says, we see Texas arguing against fetal rights when it’s being sued for the death of an unborn child."
And that proves it. Anti abortion laws are only about control. If a fetus can't have rights of a born person, then having an abortion is not murder. Period end of story. It's about control and pandering to the forced birth crowd.
I wonder how many people she's witnessed miscarry or go in to early labour and left locked behind bars without medical attention, "just following orders". Well, in that line of work surely she can appreciate that her colleagues were just following orders too.
*this isn't a defence of the people who "stopped" her from leaving (without any restraint, and she doesn't even report being threatened with being fired or anything, just told not to go) or of how she was treated, it's a display of disgust and a pointing out of the hypocrisy of people who choose to actively oppress others for a living and then act all surprised when they get oppressed themselves by the exact same system.
