What I want to know, maybe better legal minds than mine can explain it to me, how is this law not a HIPPA violation?

We cried when Trump was elected and were told he “couldn’t do that much damage.”

Speaking of IVF, if life begins at conception, every couple going through IVF with embryos in Texas should start suing themselves/each other until this law is sued into oblivion for the genuine pile of horseshit it is. Take Evangelicals’ embryos away from them, and no more reducing large numbers of multiples that have…

Fuck this law. I don’t even know what happens if the doctor wins his case when the plaintiff can’t access or find the medical record or witness testimony that proves an abortion even happened. Can some other asshole plaintiff bring a new lawsuit for the same abortion 5 years from now?

Josh, we’ve never met, and we never will, but I just wanted to say, sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart:

No, he’s happy he helped a woman. But obviously from the fact you completely ignored her existence in your crap take, we can all tell how much you value women.

Yeah, it’s weird how when you start to think of women as people, their health comes first.

When I was younger and way more naive, I used to think: “If only these people understood how desperate some women can be, and how terrible the lengths they’ll go to, they wouldn’t be so against abortion.” Now, of course, I know that they genuinely don’t give a shit. But thank you, hero doctor, both for continuing to…

When social justice movements of the past have challenged laws like these, they very carefully picked their poster children. This is why people know the name Rosa Parks, and far less know the name Claudette Colvin.

My thoughts exactly. At first I was worried about his being sued--read the article and now I’m worried for his life. A true stand up hero.

Yep—this is evidence of decency at play. Also it’s significant that this is a doctor who remembers the time before legal abortion. He’s seen the consequences.

What a mensch. godspeed doctor.

The gauntlet has been thrown down. I predict this will go all the way to the Supreme Court, where the spineless conservative justices will have to actually rule on it instead of handwaving away that it’s too novel an approach. This law is bad in so many ways, and I am glad he is taking a stand. Also that at least one…

A real act of bravery to do this in a place like Texasistan. 

Lil Nas X is a gift that keeps on giving.

I’m so happy for Lil Nas X. He went from closeted to totally out there and I fucking love how much he’s going for it. He’s doing everything straight people have done in videos for decades and yet it will definitely piss people off. Mwahahahahahaha.

OK kids, you are going to be really really surprised to learn that Kendall did not think up agave bricks and donation of 1% all by her self. Sombra mezcal has been doing the exact same thing since 2017. This took me 60 seconds to learn:

Was about to say the same thing. Because that’s what an innocent guy with nothing to hide does: asks his mother to move him from palace to palace so the plaintiff’s lawyers can’t find him. Also, he hires the same lawyer as Armie Hammer and Danny Masterson (are you fucking kidding me?).

I don’t want to be that person, but it’s “disdain” and not “distain.” Sorry. Former copy editor. I CAN’T HELP MYSELF.

She got those crazy eyes ...
