This is literally what the civil war was fought over. Southern states making shitty laws and attempting to enforce them over the will of northern states. The south lost the first time, and they’ll lose again.
I was raised not far from where William T Sherman was born.
I feel a strong urge for southern BBQ and a nice stroll coming on. I might go visit the sea.
The hospital won’t fit in the jail, its a much bigger building.
Big if true
He’s not even thinking this through to a logical end. If this is legal (and I really doubt it is) wouldn’t that mean that Texans can be sued by anyone in a state with more restrictive gun laws if a gun sold in Texas ended up being used in a crime elsewhere? What about training? Ammunition?
What a buffoon.
Hell, in some states you could make the argument that denying gender affirming care is denying medically necessary treatment.
State of Washington should counter sue Texas hospitals for their failure to provide adequate and fair treatment.

Because it is.
That’s what makes it so easy to argue. :)
It definitely is ethically, but I don’t know that every state has legal provisions that would protect it in the same way that something like a heart procedure would be.
Yeah, that’s pretty emblematic of how seriously most of the country’s politicians take mental health 😮💨
To the GOP ones like Paxton, it’s good for deflecting from the need for common sense gun control and for distortions to claim that everyone not exactly like them are unhinged, but when it comes to actually HELPING PEOPLE and by extension all of society (including their precious economy that overwhelmingly favor the rich and powerful such as themselves), they want nothing to do with it 🤬
Well, now I know what to ask from Santa for Christmas.
This isn’t about logic, it’s about posturing for their base.
If these pricks had logic and reasoning then they wouldn’t be conservatives.
Or they would be doing exactly what they are doing. They are morally bankrupt not stupid.
Attorney’s for the hospital have not been available for comment, as they’re still recovering from the laughter.
Luckily it’s a hospital and laughter is the best medicine, so they are not expected to be out of action for long.
Seattle should pass a law that requires Houston residents pay property tax to Seattle and then seize homes with unpaid taxes and sell them to recoop any unpaid taxes.
Why not?
Redact the entire report and fax it to his office as fully black pages.
What a fucking loser.
How does this work in the US? Can he arrest the doctors / directors if they ever go to Texas?
Bold move for someone whose residence is in the public record.
And here we are. And nobody is willing to stop it
There’s going to come a point where I just make actionable threats in plain text as a first response, and the threshold where it would feel morally justified may have already passed.
