    This is good news, the fewer people pass their genes on to the next generation, the better. Hell let's make abortion free and call it crime prevention.

    This is the exact response of every BernBot when anyone tries to give the Clinton administration credit for reducing murders in the country. So not only Bobby.

    It is sad that the Supreme Court does not care about women's safety. I hope many women do not die based on this naive decision. How sad if a woman dies while killing her baby.

    These clinics are safe and their safety never challenged. This is unnecessary regulation to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

    But based on this comment, you now would be a hypocrite to rail against any regulation that does protect health. So all of a sudden you are a fan of the FDA and EPA?

    The evidence points to just the opposite. So many republicans in our state took the position of un-needed regulations to prevent women from from getting abortions, actually probably turned the desperate enough ones to the back alley methods---where woman actually do get complications and die. It was ironic they took the position they did when the evidence showed it was detrimental to woman's safetly.

    You probably already knew all that posting what you did though, didn't you?

    I wouldn't worry too much. The number of women who die during a medically induced abortion is not close to a statistically significant concern.

    As a doctor who has seen ambulances called to doctors' offices before, the whole admitting privileges thing is bunk anyway. In the hypothetical scenario a woman trying to have a medical abortion suffered some life-threatening complication, any ambulance AND hospital would take the sick patient regardless if the doctor had admitting privileges or not.

    The risk of death associated with a full-term pregnancy and delivery is 8.8 deaths per 100,000, while the risk of death linked to legal abortion is 0.6 deaths per 100,000 women, according to the study. That means a woman carrying a baby to term is 14 times more likely to die than a woman who chooses to have a legal abortion, the study finds.

    So you think regulations do not matter??? Do you feel the same about the ridiculous unnecessary gun regulations that liberals love to promote? I mean one, " the Texas abortion regulation" tries to protect women from harm while the other tries to limit rights granted by the Constitution. Go ahead and answer and prove your hypocritical stance.

    Seems like we may need to make it easier for women to obtain health care rather than restricting it unnecessarily.

    if you're debating the merits of the law, you're doing it wrong

    the question is by what right do five unelected justices overturn the will of the people of Texas

    it must be frustrating arguing before this court, knowing legal arguments are irrelevant to them. They are just going to rule whatever way gives the political outcome they desire.

    Maybe Texas should have a referendum about exiting the union.

    Absolutely strange. How about start with understanding the Constitution.

    I missed the part where it protects a right to murder the unborn, much less an unregulated right.

    Yea, that doesn't exist. You didn't miss anything.

    But you seem to choose to not understand how the Supreme Court work when you don't like the result.

    I think regulations concerning health and wellness should be informed by doctors and science, not political agendas.

    The judges chose the side of fact by looking at these rules and see they had no benefit other than to take away a right granted to women.

    Politics should never trump rights.
