I don't suppose many clinics in Texas will dare open yet but it's a step in the right direction.

Hopefully a step in the right direction for the women of Texas.

That's good news. How much it will help in practice I don't know, as you say the clinics will still be very reticent.

Good news for sure

The providers are in a really difficult position. Only want to do their job which helps so many women and girls. In the middle of a legal quagmire.

Isn't this the next step in the campaign to destroy Roe v Wade?

To do that, the forced birthers have to get a case up to the Supreme Court. And to dp that, they have to get it struck down locally. They've been trying to pass a law extreme enough to be struck down for years.

Oh no.

Supreme court republican majority now I think?

USA process is opaque to me (understandably!).

Clinics in Texas have reopened. Texas has its own Peterson bird book, electric grid, and acts like it’s another planet. Women are treated poorly there in general.
