The zealous ‘pro-life’ GOP threatens the lives and health of women

This morning's New York Times features an article ("Five Women Sue Texas Over the State’s Abortion Ban") on the harrowing experiences of five women whose lives were put at risk because physicians in Texas were intimidated by prohibitions on abortion from offering standard of care medical treatment.

It's 2023. The conversation I did not expect to be having this year was whether women would have to run the risk of death before they could receive a life-saving medical procedure. -- Joyce Vance

The stories are shocking. Never mind what Texas pols say, the intimidation was intentional. The legislation banning abortion, in Texas as elsewhere, is hardly pro-life.

The radical conservative majority on the United States Supreme Court has opened the door to imposing religious zealotry on Americans whose view of life, faith, and liberty is at odds with the pro-life faction of the Republican Party.
