  1. At this point it is a very dangerous and possibly deadly be pregnant in the state of Texas. Ladies it’s time to Close Up Shop until the Texas can get on with the business of the state and stop controlling and blocking women’s healthcare. Ladies we have to fight back or be dammed to live “The Handmaid’s Tale “.VOTE!

  2. You know Texas is just a step away from prosecuting women who miscarry or give birth to fatally ill infants.Ladies! You have lost the most basic right of control over your own bodies. VOTE! for God’s sake VOTE!

  3. Texas needs to Abort Ken Paxton!

  4. There is a lot of hyperbole in this story. The Cox child's condition, trisomy 18, poses no additional risk to the mother. Her claim is that any pregnancy puts her at increased risk because of her two prior c-sections. She was willing to accept that risk when she got pregnant but claims the risk is excessive now that she knows her child has a genetic defect. She does not want her child delivered alive because care for someone with that genetic condition is expensive.

  5. Time travel is possible….just go to Texas….going backwards a century

  6. Texas is a time machine. It's 1923 there

  7. What's really scary is animals will fight anything, anyone to protect their babies, only humans are convinced that's it's good to murder theirs. It just goes to show how wicked humanity has gotten.

  8. We can go back to with JANE COLLECTIVE in 2023-24 ?!?!?! Jeeeeez !

  9. This is just normal medical care. This religious madness is such a problem.

  10. Women need to flee Tx your life and your future as a mother is in danger. And maga men cry and whine because they can’t get laid.

  11. She traveled out of state for that Phish concert. She can travel out of state for that abortion.

  12. A judge should not have a final say over a DOCTOR.

  13. Women should not have the right to save their own life! Women are only meant to bring children into the world….. this is insane. Republicans are monsters.

  14. My heart goes out to this poor woman. Abortion is healthcare!

  15. Jeremiah was a bullfrog
    Was a good friend of mine
    I never understood a single word he said
    But I helped him a-drink his wine
    And he always had some mighty fine wine

    Singin' joy to the world
    All the boys and girls now
    Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
    Joy to you and me

  16. Maybe next time use a rubber?

  17. The Republican Party…Less Government!!!*
    *Unless you do something we don't like.

  18. because deplorable women need to be told whats best for them by deplorable men.

  19. Good for Texas for standing up for what is right. It’s unfortunate and utterly devastating that this woman was unable to see the value of her child’s life.

  20. If she doesn't have the abortion, she could have complications now and to conceive in the future. She wants her baby but her life is more valuable. She will not be bringing home a live and viable baby.

  21. I love how you're not afraid to tackle difficult topics in your videos, it's very important.
