“The temporary restraining order granted by the Travis County district judge purporting to allow an abortion to proceed will not insulate hospitals, doctors or anyone else from civil and criminal liability for violating Texas’ abortion laws,” Paxton said in a statement shortly after the judge’s decision. “This includes first degree felony prosecutions…and civil penalties of not less than $100,000 for each violation.

Paxton added, ominously: “The [judge’s temporary restraining order] will expire long before the statute of limitations for violating Texas’ abortion laws expires.”

    Seriously, imagine being so fucking stupid, self-entitled, and scientifically illiterate that you cannot accept the brutality of the real world where fetuses can have genetic defects that make them non-viable. I’m not even surprised anymore by the sheer level of willful stupidity and back-bending these fucking morons will go to in order to satisfy the infantile fantasies of their supporters.

    In a just world all the women Ken Paxton has caused life-long pain and suffering would be allowed to slowly slice off his genitals with a mandoline or a zester.

      Except it’s not stupidity, they’re trying to take the US back to the 1950’s for white men.
