100% Abortions are ancient and women get pretty creative about abortion. In fact, God was a big fan of abortion and does it SEVERAL times in the bible.
I'm pretty sure that is exactly what I said would happen, (that if she was the mother, she would fall under an exception, specifically 19.06(1)).
sounds very apologetic in that statement wonder how they even made such a mistake Lawsuit probably coming if not made right
The poor woman had her mug shot blasted out on main media and all over social media. And the risk that some bent pro-life nut targeting her both via social media and in real life is very possible. She not only deserves a huge settlement, but it should springboard a new national debate over a number of subjects...
My understanding is this woman could only be charged via a private citizen bounty correct? So the state police arresting her directly was where they failed. What would have had to happen first is someone would have had to sue Ms. Herrera first. A court order would appear then from the state, and then a trial would be set. But she would not be indicted, or charged with any crime correct? If the court found that the person who sued Ms. Herrera was correct and she provided an abortion (as a provider or to herself I guess?) then the nutcase that sued her would be awarded 10,000 dollars, and Ms. Herrera would then be subject to whatever punishment the judge is allowed to bring under the sentencing guidelines. So what is scary here is that the AG and State Prosecutor thinks that they still think they have the power to just arrest people AS THE STATE when it's clear this law is written where the State is only supposed to be the arbiter between a citizen (acting as a bounty hunter) and the defendant being accused. The DOJ I feel like has a duty here to step in and throw the book at the State of Texas. The State of Texas isn't even following their own GDamn laws.
It's civil, not criminal. The state was supposed to not have anything to do with it. If they did, the Conservatives on the Supreme Court would not have been able to chicken out as they did and allow civil lawsuits to severely impact the right to abortion from Roe v. Wade (setting up a horrible precedent to severely impact any right but then this Court doesn't care about precedent anyway - it has become nakedly political). The Court will have the opportunity to completely overturn Roe v. Wade soon. If it does, abortion will be criminalized. Multiple states already passed laws to do that - once overturned, it will become a criminal act.
If it’s true that a hospital employee gave this woman’s private info to authorities then that hospital is about to be sued to oblivion.
He is a private citizen... he can file suit against his ex-wife. So can jack prosobiek. And the tabloid this "news" is being politicized. Heck, so can commodore. That's the beauty of the vigilante law in Texas... all sorts of social crusaders can step up and try to punish this woman again.
Sounds like a real healthy relationship... She wouldn't be taking abortion pills if she was far enough along to know the sex.
