Here is the conversation that needs to be had: Why do we wish to discard children, especially potentially special-needs or health-challenged children, rather than do all we can to help them survive and thrive, no matter how long that might be? Why do we not give families making this difficult decision the support necessary to see life not as an option but as the only quality choice? //

The public really didn't want to know about this ladies' personal reproductive health problems and because the termination "services" she sought were readily available in adjacent states, the public was unswayed by the legal theatrics.

The "theatrics" will be played over and over again in 2024 and subsequent elections.

So be it. Evil has always sought compromise and that compromise has always led to more evil.
The message of life and hope must be clearer, smarter, and louder.
This message must permeate all media on every platform.
The message must grab and hold the viewer. Make them pause and think, but also feel the goodness of life in the message.
This requires a ton of talent and messaging skill, enough money to produce the messages, and a ton of money to get those messages to the people being lied to.
It's gonna be hard.
Will we even try? //

I thought the Texas Supreme Court got it right here.
The Supreme Court did not deny her a medically necessary abortion.
What I found really interesting was their statement that a woman does not need a court order to get a medically necessary abortion. What she does need is a determination from a medically competent professional that she needs one. And that medical professional is expected to use reasonable medical standards in making that determination.
