considering Texas has the eighth largest economy in the world but regularly loses control of its basic utility infrastructure and does not offer even emergency health care, texas really is a third-world country inside the US.
The US is largely a third world country anyway, but Texas really checks all the boxes.
- Texas isn't landlocked, though, they have a decent sized coast along the Gulf of Mexico.
  Other than that... No notes. 👍
  
  pppfff hahaha I stared at that sentence for several seconds before posting and didn't know what looked wrong.
  thanks
- You can roll a camera through Alabama and play "in the arms of an angel" over the footage.
A potentially hypothetical human is more valuable than a woman to these people.
Remember that.
- People love anything as long as it's new.
But they saved the “baby” right?
- Under his eye
  
  Blessed be the fruit. 🤲
What kind of doctor lets distant police stop them from saving someone? I don't let the police change my behavior for even trivial stuff!
- The type who have state approved political informants reviewing their medical notes and are looking to take away their professional registration and entire career (plus possible prison sentences) on the basis of wildly vague and open to interpretation law because Yay Jesus.
  
  Geez that sucks.
- Ones who don't want to throw away their ability to keep practicing medicine.
  It's not just the threat of police, it's also them losing their license and ability to be insured and the possibility of getting multi million dollar lawsuits to go along with it legally being the same as murder if a doctor gives any treatment for someone having a miscarriage
What next, "backstreet miscarriages"?
