The Texas Supreme Court on Friday night put on hold a judge’s ruling that approved an abortion for a pregnant woman whose fetus has a fatal diagnosis, throwing into limbo an unprecedented challenge to one of the most restrictive bans in the U.S.

The order by the all-Republican court came more than 30 hours after Kate Cox, a 31-year-old mother of two from the Dallas area, received a temporary restraining order from a lower court judge that prevents Texas from enforcing the state’s ban in her case.

In a one-page order, the court said it was temporarily staying Thursday’s ruling “without regard to the merits.” The case is still pending.

    I propose that anyone getting in the way of an abortion for a child that would be born dead or suffering gets to have their dick or lips ripped off with a wheat thresher. You aren’t saving the child, you aren’t saving the mother, you aren’t saving the doctor you just want to watch a woman in pain and know you caused that pain. Can’t even think of a suitable insult because none of them seem sufficient

      While I do agree with this sentiment, I would change one thing about the first sentence you wrote:

      “I propose that anyone getting in the way of an abortion —— gets to have …”

      In my opinion there is no need for the child to have a serious condition before an abortion would be permitted.

      If both the mother and the doctor decide it is for the best, that should be the end of it.

      I’d like to end this comment with a quote after reading too much US news:

      “Land of the free? Whoever told you that is your enemy”
