It's been delayed until July 9. Probably hoping the hoopla will die down a bit.
Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

They've passed the law. Go, Texas! :rolleyes:

I have a question. According to the law as passed, the consequences of giving an abortion outside of the parameters set by the state can be no more than a $4000 fine. Later, it talks of the possibility of losing their medical license.

Could I have a lawtalker read over the bill and tell me what the consequences actually are? Pretty please?

You don't need a lawtalker to tell you it's the criminalization of women's reproductive rights.

Nope, and I'm considering trying to find a way around it. If the fine is really all that the doctors will have, then why not have a fund-raiser to pay those fines for doctors? That way, the docs won't have to worry about it, women will be able to circumvent the laws, and Texas can go fuck itself. :)

$4,000 per abortion is a lot of fund raising.

The penalties vary by subchapter.  But it appears that any violation of any of the provisions of the law by a physician is grounds for denying the issuance or renewal of a license to practice medicine.

Bottom line: this would be a good time to invest in Texas coat hanger factories.

That's what I was afraid of. :(
