#Texas #GOP Lawmakers Propose Amending #AbortionBan Linked to Deaths & a Rise in Sepsis Cases
The bill comes after #ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of 3 Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the #law.

#Maine #GovernorJanetMills fires back after #Trump's demand for 'full throated apology'
by Randy Billings, Mon, March 24, 2025
Mar. 24—"Maine Gov. Janet Mills on Monday brushed off President Donald #Trump's weekend demand that she issue a 'full throated apology' for publicly challenging him during a White House event last month.
"The governor responded to Trump's social media post while at a public event in Bangor. But it was not an apology.
"Mills contested Trump's claims that he wants to protect women through his executive order barring #TransgenderAthletes from women's sports, pointing out that women in the United States and around the world will be hurt by his moves to eliminate #ForeignAid, attack #SocialSecurity and #Medicaid, and impose #tariffs that will spark #TradeWars and drive up consumer prices.
"'If the current occupant of the White House wants to protect women and girls, he should start by protecting the women and teenage girls who are suffering #miscarriages and dying because they can't get basic, life-saving health care in states across this country,' Mills said, according to the Bangor Daily News. 'If he truly cares about women and girls and people of this country, let's see the economic plan. Let's see the health care plan. Let's see the education plan.'
"Mills, who was in Bangor celebrating the purchase of a mobile home park by its residents under a new state law, added that 'if he cares about women and girls, he should talk about the little girls and boys and infants in #Sudan and other countries who are dying right now because he has cut off their supply of food and life-saving medicines.'"

Arrested at gunpoint, charged as a felon: a midwife’s lot in anti-abortion Texas https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/mar/22/texas-midwife-arrest-abortion #Reproductiverights #Israel-Gazawar #Abortion #ElonMusk #USnews #Texas
So, all this talk from #Trump about protecting women is BULLSHIT! If they really cared about protecting women, they would allow #ReproductiveRights and #BodilyAutomony! All the hate directed at #TransAthletes is not to make cis women safe, it's to make #TransPeople feel UNSAFE! Don't be fooled by the #Fascist regime!!!
"Witchcraft for Wayward Girls" is, in its most basic form, about unwed teenage mothers who are sent away to a "home" in Florida where they find a coven of witches in the woods. That's the short, fun version.

From our friends at the @texastribune: Two recent arrests mark the first criminal charges under our state’s near-total abortion ban. The investigation spanned more than a month and involved more than a dozen people with the Office of the Attorney General. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-first-abortion-arrests-attorney-general-investigation/

In 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, ending federal protection for abortion rights.
Today, a Texas midwife was arrested under the state's abortion ban, highlighting the ruling's ongoing impact.

Good resource. Bookmarked for when this inevitably comes up during the campaign.
These folks deserve some shade too:
“This is, as far as I know, the first allegation that someone in a ban state is providing an abortion in direct violation of abortion laws,” said Marc Hearron of the Center for #ReproductiveRights.
In a handful of cases, charges have been brought against people who provided #abortion pills to relatives, either with their knowledge or without.
…The bans on abortions around the country have largely relied on the threat of prosecution, w/few instances in which #criminal cases have actually been filed. #Abortion providers in #Texas & other states w/ abortion bans ceased operations after the decision. #Women seeking abortions have instead had to travel to states where the procedure remains legal or have received abortion medication through the mail.
The stmnt said that she had been “charged with the illegal performance of an abortion,” which has been a second-degree #felony since the state’s near-total #AbortionBan took effect in 2022. She was also charged w/practicing #medicine without a license.
Court records released late Monday indicated that a person who worked w/Ms. Rojas, Jose Ley, 29, was also arrested & charged w/the same offenses.
#KenPaxton, the #Texas AG, said in a statement that the #midwife, Maria Margarita Rojas, operated clinics in several towns around Houston, including 2 in Harris County, the state’s most populous county, & one in Waller County, a more rural & conservative jurisdiction where the charges were brought.
A #midwife & an associate have been arrested & charged w/illegally performing abortions in greater #Houston, acc/to court records & the #Texas AG, apparently the first #criminal arrests of #abortion providers since #SCOTUS overturned #RoeVWade in 2022.
