1. The more plaintiffs added to this lawsuit, the better.

As I read this article, I got angrier and angrier, just as I always do when reading about cases like these.

The anti-abortion lunatics love to claim that situations like these are so vanishingly rare that they don't matter. That argument would be offensive even if it were true, because even one person being denied needed medical care is an outrage, but that doesn't stop them from using it, the same as they do when defending their disgusting refusal to allow abortion in cases of rape and/or incest. The more plaintiffs join this suit, the harder it will be for Texas and other states to claim that "practically no one" is being harmed by not allowing doctors to terminate nonviable pregnancies.

Perhaps the most disgusting aspect of this is the willingness of the Texas AG to spend untold amounts of taxpayer money defending so-called "pro-life" laws that require women to risk their own lives in order to protect "lives" that are already doomed. Thanks, Texas AG, for providing additional evidence that the real purpose of these laws is controlling women, not saving babies!
