‘Daily Show’ gets social media scorn for Texas abortion tweet

The landscape of abortion in Texas changed drastically over the last three years: Most remaining clinics are concentrated around the major cities of Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, leaving many women in vast rural swaths of the state facing long drives to the nearest provider.

The ruling, he said, is expected to trigger scrutiny of similar abortion laws in other states. Stargel noted that the law does not include Texas’ requirement that a doctor have admitting privileges within 30 miles of an abortion clinic.

State law requires women to have “informed consent” meetings with a doctor 24 hours before the procedure and also requires abortion clinics to have a “transfer agreement” with an ambulance service to take patients to a hospital in case of a medical emergency.

Gov. John Bel Edwards, a Democrat, supported the provisions, describing himself in a statement as a “pro-life governor who wants to do everything we can to provide women with quality health care and reduce the number of abortions performed in Louisiana”.

Peter Linzer, a constitutional law expert at the University of Houston Law Center, who was cited in a dissenting opinion in the case written by Justice Clarence Thomas, called the court’s decision a “two-fisted opinion” with national implications.

Herrod said the admitting privileges law is necessary for women’s health.

“The same could be said of every effort here to restrict access to abortion here in New Zealand”, Ms Bellamak said.

Chaiten says out of the Midwestern states, IL has some of the least restrictions on women’s access to abortion.

Pardon her French. The foreign phrase translates to “for lack of a better option”.

The ruling Monday, hailed as a major milestone by pro-choice groups, removes medical practice regulations placed on abortion clinics so restrictive that, since they were enacted in 2013, half of the clinics in Texas were forced to close their doors. “The State’s burden has been ratcheted to a level that has not applied for a quarter century”, he wrote. “Even talking to the staunchest opponents of abortion in the state legislature, they haven’t said that they are necessarily calling for a special session either”. Walker (R-Wisconsin) said when questioned about the decision while touring Quad/Graphics in Pewaukee Monday. John Cornyn of Texas.

Still, Rep. Carter stands firm in his belief that Monday’s ruling will only put women at risk.

What does it mean for other states?

Wisconsin now requires a 24-hour waiting period before an abortion, requires women to undergo an ultrasound prior to an abortion and bans abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
