Frankly, I agree that it is cruel and unusual punishment to force a woman to carry a non-viable fetus to full term, but I am concerned that the Texas case was just a test case used to expose the flaws in the Texas laws. Just because there are flaws in a state abortion law does not mean that the federal government should step in to fix it. Also, they seemed to have changed the reason for the case from the time that the woman first requested an abortion and the last appeal. At first they said that the mother’s life was not endangered by the pregnancy, now they say that it is. I think that the mother’s life would only be endangered if the baby died in utero and was not removed immediately. So, tweaking the laws does appear necessary. The strict interpretation of abortion bans leave no room for physician opinion.
The woman in Texas was free to leave the state and get the abortion she dragged it out in court for political and publicity purposes.
The 2022 Dobbs decision leaves states the options to have liberal abortion laws or conservative ones if you don’t like it in one state go to another.
