Texas man kills his unborn child after spiking his girlfriend's drink with an abortion pill https://t.co/hWKoLtrRCw

This is where we at y’all. Trump got his wish. For women to be punished. Married Fort Worth, Texas couple find out wife is miscarrying at 13 weeks. Sent home with Misoprostol. Wife takes two rounds of the drug. It doesn’t work. They go back to the same hospital. Turned away. Go to another hospital requesting a D&C so that sepsis doesn’t set in. The hospital said she wasn’t SICK enough for a D&C so they got a third round of Misoprostol and were sent home. At home wife passes out unconscious, blood and bodily fluid everywhere. She’s rushed to the hospital they say “Thank God you brought her in.” Fuck Republicans vote Blue! #DemsUnited #AbortionIsHealthCare

🚨 The following is what passes as a Shinboner post (for now) from North's loss to Fremantle: ----- Was catching up on the North game late last night (San Antonio time 🎺) and kept thinking, 'well they'll goal to end the run at some point' ... 'this is when the goal comes' ... 'surely it'll come soon' ... and then it just didn't happen. So that was fun! Although there's no excuse for losing any game by 842 points, from a slightly detached viewpoint it was a case study of what happens when the best team currently in it - Freo's highest level of play in their history? - systematically takes away every option North have to defend and attack. You could see it from the early stages. First North progressively couldn't move from stoppage. Then they had fewer options after turnover, and then the corridor disappeared. Freo poked and prodded to find gaps in North's forward half defence, exploited them ruthlessly, and then North's back six/seven had, understandably, no other ways to stop incoming ball swept in on a magic carpet. This is normally the point where video appears to illustrate the point, but I'm on the other side of the world typing between sets at a gig, and I mean, the margin. It'd just be an unwanted horror movie. Anyway, North players would have looked around at some point and thought something along the lines of, 'we have nothing left in our kit to even remotely challenge them'. Maybe a little less eloquently than that, but still. Once everything you're capable of doing gets taken away like that it's very easy to feel useless and drop your head. Again, in caps this time so no one gets the wrong conclusion - IT DOESN'T EXCUSE losing by 124 instead of maybe half that. My general team level takeaway was North desperately need to have something in their skill set for damage limitation. Not a 'Plan B', or anything like that. Instead, something where there's a realisation of 'nothing is working right now, how can we shut this game down for a period/5 minutes/10 minutes to reset?' Just the most boring passage imaginable. Then as you get better as a collective, that time period becomes shorter and shorter, followed by introducing elements to go back at the opposition, ending with different gears in your game. That last part is very advanced, it also all sounds very easy written out like this, and to be honest there already should be something like a basic version of the reset passage in North's game ... but there's not. Which is a whole other discussion. But in the meantime those wildly bad quarters (2+4 v Freo, 2 v Adelaide, 4 v Geelong) to pop up recently are worrying. Losing these quarters are fine, relatively speaking. Getting historically blown off the park shouldn't be a recurring feature by now. Hopefully it's just a bug and not a mindset malaise.

Under the Abolitionists' equal protection framework, no pro-life laws have ever been passed. Their supporters are on record opposing the Human Life Protection Act, and HB 7, which protect life in Texas today. The Human Life Protection Act forced all abortion providers to cease performing abortions or face steep penalties — up to 99 years in prison, $100,000 in civil penalties, and loss of medical license. HB 7 provides another means to hold illegal chemical abortion drug traffickers accountable. Consider what the Abolitionists' approach would mean for Texas today if they had succeeded in their opposition to our pro-life laws: every surgical or chemical abortion provider would still be operating on Texas soil. Planned Parenthood would still be performing abortions. This Houston Planned Parenthood facility would still be open for business, taking innocent unborn lives. The baby recently aborted because he had Down Syndrome — that 21-week abortion would have been legal in Texas, where it is not today. And we would have no laws to hold illegal abortion providers or abusive partners who force abortion drugs on women accountable. Illegal abortion drugs funneling into Texas from out of state, circumventing our laws are a problem. The answer is not punishing the women that the out-of-state providers prey on. The answer is federal action to shut down their pipeline, such as through enforcing the Comstock Act, or by the FDA removing the mail-order mifepristone option, in order to protect Texas babies, and respect the will of our state.

A Texas man FORCED his girlfriend to take the abortion pill, and it KILLED her baby! Jon Rueben Demeter has been indicted after authorities say he secretly gave a pregnant woman the abortion drug without her knowledge or consent, resulting in the death of their unborn baby. A grand jury indicted him on charges of abortion, a first-degree felony punishable by five years to life in prison, and injury to a child. The indictment replaces an initial charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. According to a search warrant, Demeter gave the woman — the mother of his other children — a bottle containing a white milky substance at his home. He told her it was an electrolyte drink that had helped the mother of his other children during pregnancy. The woman later became ill and went to the hospital, where she gave birth at 14 weeks gestation. Her baby girl did not survive. The woman told detectives she did not want to have an abortion, but Demeter did. Court records show he had previously offered to obtain abortion pills online and pay her $1,000 to kill the baby, but she refused. A search of Demeter’s home revealed a glass bowl containing white powder residue and evidence of a crushed white pill. Demeter admitted to ordering abortion pills online and giving the woman the drink, but denied that the substance contained the pills. The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office confirmed the indictment. Abortion kills babies and hurts women.

A Texas man faces 5 to 99 years after spiking his pregnant girlfriend’s drink with an abortion pill. When she refused an abortion, he secretly drugged her, causing her to miscarry their 14-week baby. He’s indicted for injury to a child. Max sentence? A. Yes B. No https://t.co/x7ZnKAUvsM
