A Texas doctor reveals he performed an abortion in violation of the state’s new law that bans most abortions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, arguing he “had a duty of care to this patient” and she had a “fundamental right” to an abortion.

A imaging table inside the Reproductive Health Services of Planned Parenthood in St. Louis, Missouri on May 28, 2019.A Texas doctor revealed on Saturday that he recently performed an abortion in violation of the state’s new law that bans most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy, arguing he “had a duty of care to this patient” and she had a “fundamental right” to an abortion.

The law also prohibits state officials from enforcing the ban. Instead, it allows individuals to sue abortion providers or anyone who may have helped someone get an abortion after the limit and seek financial damages of at least $10,000 per defendant. However, Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, praised Braid, saying he “courageously stood up against this blatantly unconstitutional law.”

Good, only late term abortion should be banned, Jesus Texas get a grip, people cry about vaccine and maks mandates like a bunch of goddamn babies, where are the 'freedom' folk when something like this is banned

He knowingly broke the law to commit murder. He had his reasons. All murderers have their reasons. That doesn't make it right. He murdered an innocent child. My body my choice should apply to all equally. That includes that innocent child . You can prevent pregnancy.

2/2…sit with my children and talk w them ( play w them) I saw how special they were and it bothered me to think I could’ve made the wrongful selfish decision to abort and I would’ve robbed me, my wife, and the world of their magnificence. I understand, however, there are …

1/2 I have always been torn between whether to “ abort” or “ not to abort.” But when I had my first child , then second, and even my third (who was never planned ) I realized I could never live w myself if I were to ever decide to abort. Why? Let me explain: “ when I would …

As he mf shoukd

It’s funny how people won’t allow abortions after a fetal heart beat is detected. Lets give this same energy to wearing masks and getting vaccinated. I’m 23 weeks pregnant and I had Covid-19. My planned pregnancy could have ended from selfishness, but abortions are the issue 🙃

His license to practice medicine in the state of Texas should be permanently revoked and he should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Make an example early.

Good for them

It's pretty hard to take democrats seriously when they say, 'everyone must be vaccinated to protect the general population', and in the next breath, demand the right to kill their babies... Just sayin'...😎🖖🏴‍☠️

Then he had broken the law. He should be arrested.

Let's all join in to subvert this despicable law, what do you say!?

Capitol punishment. For both of them.

Fk Texas!

Good, a brave doc takes the necessary step. Now all we need is some jerk to sue him and the case is under way.

Removal of medical practice license in the State of Texas should be the next step. As most liberals say, you shouldn't break the law just because you don't like the law or the results (Jan. 6th).

This case will make it to the Supreme Court which will have to take it up. Hope that doctor is prepared for a long, hard fight.

Follow me

TexasTaliban needs to be crushed! Abortion must be free and in demand!

Don’t like a law overriding Rowe v Wade

What about the right of that baby to live? What about the duty of that doctor to respect human life?

So he has the duty to care what about the law that he needs to follow as a resident of Texas? Is he then above the law? Coz no one is above the law in America.

RiskyLiberal Our bodies, our rights!!!

Murder.

If he self-reports, can he claim the $10k. And if he sues himself before anyone else does, does that effectively shut down others.

Can he collect the bounty?

Let 12 people decide the doctors fate.

We denounce texas as a State they’re a god dammed republic that things they’re sovereign. Any law in Texas is invalid

YEE HAW! We going to court.

Kudos to this brave doctor.

LukeRussell1281 She also has a fundamental right to privacy & he should shut his cake hole.

Supreme Court?

WE ALL NEED TO STAND WITH HIM AND WOMENS RIGHT TO MAKE HER OWN DECISIONS

Hero.

Good!

Good for him

Quick, now tell the open carry nut jobs in the parking lot that only the last one standing can sue him for the $10,000.

Every weekend college football stadiums are filled with fans yelling Fuck Joe Biden. But the media tells me he won with 81 million votes. My eyes continue to lie to me. proves he didn't win that's a fact

Fear not, there are organizations out there to protect you. Thank you for standing up for what is right!!

Freedom is a hollow word in Texas. There is no freedom while the suppression of women rights is still occurring.

The man is a hero ❤️. Look forward to his case reaching our useless Supreme Court.

He is a doctor and his priority is to have life and also rescue people from dangers and pains and not to play politics with humans life...

Sooo..he will get fined?

Does he get $10,000?

Bless the Doc!!

This doctor's a hero.

So a doctor who believes in certain unalienable rights then. 🤔👍👍

A true doctor

Finally, someone in Texas with a backbone.

More drs and clinics should just ignore the law. The government can't enforce it, if someone sues for damages and it goes to court the law will collapse as it is clearly unconstitutional. Call their bluff.

When will the 'so called' right to life people realize that outlawing abortions will not stop abortions. They will continue either in a safe manner or unsafe manner.

Abortion choices should be between a doctor & their patient. Period. No government opinion needed.

Good for this doctor!! I am sure they had a discussion before!! I believe it’s a woman’s right to choose unless they are unable too!

abortion laws are religious attacks on female Citizen's Rights for mythical dogmas and creeds. religious law has no place in government of the people.

He Needs To Fight This Unconstitutional Attack On Abortion!!!

thank you doctor!? that doesn't feel right. but it is a right! now bring on the fight!

Good.

Based

When I say, allyship ✨is✨ action what I mean is this man AllyshipIsAction

Good for Him

A man of conviction!

Absolutely proud. He took his oath seriously. A hero

let´s collect money for his lawyer...

Hero.

Ripples from Texas abortion law spread to Illinois safe havenAn Illinois clinic, emblematic of a state that has deemed itself a safe haven for abortion care, is feeling the reverberations of the Texas abortion law in the form of dozens of women forced to travel hundreds of miles just to secure an appointment. Remember, in Texas a woman can be raped at gunpoint and could be forced to bear the child and furthermore, the rapist could sue the woman for visitation afterwards. Outrageous! America is not, by any means…The home of the free. It is the home of assorted groups trying to tell people what to do.

Latin American refugees... Let them in all day. Haitian refugees... Reject and send back. Cuban refugees... Vehemently swear off immigration. Tell me why the DNC is so particular with it's policy?
