I think we need a thread of quotes from liberals explaining why Roe v Wade was such a horrible decision…
“A heavy-handed judicial intervention [that] was difficult to justify and appears to have provoked, not resolved, conflict."
-Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I strongly support a woman's right to choose but Roe vs. Wade was a disaster," “it was the wrong place for the Supreme Court to go,” and “there’s no clear governing constitutional principle in Roe v. Wade.”
-Alan Dershowitz, Constitutional lawyer and Harvard Professor

I asked a large group of NICU nurses in online forum what they thought about Sotomayor saying only a gross minority of doctors believe fetal pain exists before 24-25 weeks.

Just a little thread on what being short staffed in the NICU is like…
Get to the unit at 0630 (too early to clock in) a few other nurses are there early. Putting my lunch in the fridge when the charge nurse comes in & begs us to clock in early because 3 admits are on the way.
Already minus 8 nurses on a 60 bed unit which means every nurse with stable babies will have 4 patients and the nurses with critical babies will have 3. That’s not safe. Walk to my area and there’s no time to sit for report because 2 babies just arrived at the same time.

In case the pro-choice didn’t realize it, there have been numerous resources for moms and moms-to-be in Texas:
Texas women in need of health care/insurance assistance there is the Texas Medicaid program.

Texas women who don’t qualify for the Texas Medicaid program, but still need health insurance, can get similar coverage through the CHIP Perinatal program.
