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.

        While we squabble over social issues, both parties fuck us with monetary ones. Democrats just use lube, sometimes.

        History continues to repeat itself. We don’t want to solve these problems, just keep the conflict going because it’s a distraction.

          I think they’d prefer you think the conflict is a distraction. I think at this point many democrats realize they can’t keep robbing you if you’re dead. Republicans plan to use your entrails to decorate their asylum.

    Everyone with even an ounce of self respect needs to leave that shithole state.
