What will be considered “trying”? And this will be allowed “indefinitely”?
I was really hoping someone would explain how this works.
If the woman has complications following the dastardly work of the unborn-baby butcher, Mississippi wants said U.B.B. to admit her to a hospital, not call an ambulance to send her to an emergency room. However, U.B.B.’s are considered the scum of medicine (even compared to coroners, who never have to worry about killing who they examine) and hospitals don’t want to grant them privileges.
This silly judge is trying to have it both ways. I hope an appeal forces his hand.
“The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled states can’t place undue burdens on, or substantial obstacles to, women seeking abortions.”
This is the problem. I don’t like the ruling, but the judge is adhering to federal law.
It is incumbent on the the state of Mississippi to prove they aren’t violating federal law.
So, the question is...........when did it become a crime for states to pass their own laws?
Why is a federal judge involved, instead of the state court?
There’s the rub.
What good is a law if a judge can say it does not pertain to only one entity? The world is truly upside down.
Another case of "the law prohibiting it is good, but it can stay anyway". I pray they have a finite amount of time and God's hand turns away any deals that would allow them to comply.
