An attorney general is “advising hospitals to ignore a court order”.

Read that sentence again.

He is supposed to be an officer of the court. It is his job to uphold the law, regardless of how he feels about it personally. The judge ruled explicitly on this particular woman’s specific situation - there is no reasonable room for interpretation here.

This man is putting his own opinion above the rule of law. He is radically unsuited for his job and deserves to be disbarred.

What. The. Fuck.

For the Republicans, it’s not about protecting babies, it’s about punishing women.

Fuck that guy. I hope his dick falls off

As a physician, I am completely lost as to why any OB-GYN (or other healthcare professional, for that matter) still feels comfortable practicing in the state of Texas.

They literally criminalized healthcare and turned doctors into potential perps. I'd be terrified that a patient unplanned miscarriage would turn into a murder investigation with me as the primary suspect.

So hold him in contempt of court. Otherwise he’ll be emboldened and do it more

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.”

Greatest country on earth ladies and gentlemen, land of the free my arse.

Look at this idiot, he even looks like a republican.

Reading this as a non-American, it feels surreal. How can such a basic right be stripped from all women, and then have men stand up and defend such a disgusting situation. Do they have no shame? No moral compass?

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.

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.

It's not too late to abort Ken Paxton.

Some of these republicans have never even heard of angry mobs pulling people who destroy their lives out of their homes and returning the favor. Just fucking with people with impunity.

What a shit state to be in.

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.”

Have you done your duty and told a conservative they're an idiot today?

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

Why do people like AG Paxton keep trying to insert themselves between people like this woman and God?

He just interfered with this woman's ability to pursue legal Healthcare to protect her life. If she dies as a result of the medical complications associated with the pregnancy, I don't see how he doesn't get charged with manslaughter at a minimum.

Remember this, from September?

Texas Senate overturns Attorney General Ken Paxton's impeachment by the state House

can we just destroy texas

Republicans are fucking ghouls.

Get out of texas as quickly as you can.

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.

What an efficient use of tax dollars. Smh

Where is the armed mob outside of his office demanded the defense of freedom?

This poor woman. Wtf instead of just getting her life saving care she has to watch idiots arguing about it for months.

Sounds like attempted murder.

He should adopt the baby if he wants it so much.
