I reccomend the newsletter "Abortion, Every Day", which tracks, state-by-state, abortion legislation, pro-life tactics (eg, changing language from "bans" to "compromises"), horrific stories of suffering caused by hospitals/doctors invlesrcanout purposely vague laws, well-funded movements to enshrine "fetal personhood" even when the mother's life is in jeopardy, efforts to classify contraception as pre-abortion, laws that criminalize women who seek abortions, attempts to criminalize miscarriages, Google tracking searches for abortion information, etc, etc.
I was upset by the Texas ruling that recently was affirmed by three white male judges stating: “EMTALA does not provide an unqualified right for the pregnant mother to abort her child especially when EMTALA imposes equal stabilization obligations. We therefore decline to expand the scope of EMTALA,”. Welcome to Texas, where women’s reproductive rights are aborted by misogynistic men overruling sound medical judgment. I'm old enough to remember that the trigger for EMTALA's 1986 enactment was “wallet biopsies” performed in Dallas-area for-profit hospital EDs before dumping uninsured patients on Parkland Medical Center. To quote Lindsay Crouse as nurse Kaitlin Costello in 1982’s “The Verdict,” “Who are these men?”
Thanks for the heads-up. Here’s the link: https://jessica.substack.com/
