This is the gravity of the situation we are facing:

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday let stand a decision barring emergency abortions that violate the law in Texas, which has one of the country’s strictest abortion bans.

Without detailing their reasoning, the justices kept in place a lower court order that said hospitals cannot be required to provide pregnancy terminations that would violate Texas law.

The Biden administration had asked the justices to throw out the lower court order, arguing that hospitals have to perform abortions in emergency situations under federal law. The administration pointed to the Supreme Court’s action in a similar case from Idaho earlier this year in which the justices narrowly allowed emergency abortions to resume while a lawsuit continues.

The administration also cited a Texas Supreme Court ruling that said doctors do not have to wait until a woman’s life is in immediate danger to provide an abortion legally. The administration said it brings Texas in line with federal law and means the lower court ruling is not necessary.

Texas asked the justices to leave the order in place, saying the state Supreme Court ruling meant Texas law, unlike Idaho’s, does have an exception for the health of a pregnant patient and there’s no conflict between federal and state law.

Doctors have said the law remains dangerously vague after a medical board refused to specify exactly which conditions qualify for the exception.

There has been a spike in complaints that pregnant women in medical distress have been turned away from emergency rooms in Texas and elsewhere as hospitals grapple with whether standard care could violate strict laws against abortion.

Pregnancy terminations have long been part of medical treatment for patients with serious complications, as way to to prevent sepsis, organ failure and other major problems. But in Texas and other states with strict abortion bans, doctors and hospitals have said it is not clear whether those terminations could run afoul of abortion bans that carry the possibility of prison time.

The Texas case started after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022, leading to abortion restrictions in many Republican-controlled states. The Biden administration issued guidance saying hospitals still needed to provide abortions in emergency situations under a health care law that requires most hospitals to treat any patients in medical distress.

Texas sued over that guidance, arguing that hospitals cannot be required to provide abortions that would violate its ban. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court Appeals sided with the state, ruling in January that the administration had overstepped its authority.

Trump's Supreme Court just made it legal to let pregnant women with complications die in Texas.

I know we are upset and rightfully so about several things, but please I implore you: This is not both sides, and defeating Trump is the #1 goal for not only Americans but for people abroad as well.

We cannot let these psychopaths take control.

They don't care about your valid concerns, they just want the coalition under Harris to fracture by any means so that their demagogue seizes power and rips everything to shreds. They don't care about Palestinians, they don't care about anyone who gets hurt. Women, minorities, me, you, anyone. They don't care.

We gotta beat Trump. I cannot control Biden's stark idiocy regarding Bibi, but maybe Harris and Walz will show leadership where he isn't. That's a hope, which means little I know. But right now all we can do is try to mitigate the damage and keep sane people in charge.

And then turning around and blaming the other

I mean, it's standard Republican MO. Defund programs that work so they stop working, then say "see, they don't work! Let's get rid of them!"

The part that gets me is people who think they're "reasonable" or "well-informed" who still fall for it. It's the most obvious thing in the world to point out, yet they still get away with it. They think their voters are stupid, and they're not wrong.

So you don't mind voting for a rapist? He's factually an adjudicated rapist. He factually bragged openly about sexual assault. He factually raped his own wife.

Don't bother responding because you're going to get me banned. Just take your BS deflection tactics and walk away. Only disgusting human beings would be willing to overlook sexual abuse by a sexual predator because they represent the party they vote for. It's ridiculous.

Trump couldn't fix his own marriages and here you are thinking he's gonna fix the country. Hilarious.

They think a dude with 34 counts of falsifying business records, who bankrupted multiple casinos, whose party has not had a president leave office with a lower deficit than they entered with since Dwight D. Eisenhower when in that same time no member of the other party has left office with a higher deficit than they entered with, is the guy for the economy. And it's not just them, most of the country believes that

If "the economy" is your #1 issue, then you should be voting Dem every time. Just ask this guy:

You know, it's interesting, I've been now around long -- you know, I think of myself as a young guy, but I'm not so young anymore. And I've been around for a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans.

Just for some perspective, it isn’t that Trump supporters trust a convicted felon. I have spoken to a lot of Trump supporters and converts and they all agree, the shady parts of the government are involved in removing him and trying to stop him. The black folks I know who support him, actually relate to the unjust charges, as they have experienced that and don’t trust the system.

Further, almost all Trump supporters are tired of being called names. The “innsurrection” with no guns, the one where Twitter removed Trumps posts on being peaceful, and on, is a joke to them all. The videos showed a tour and picture taking with a few agitators (probably Feds as we have learned.) But the media told us what to believe, just like the mostly peaceful BLM and Antifa riots, burnings, attacks, destroying cars and houses, and many murders.

We just don’t believe MSM anymore. Let’s see what the next few months bring. It is going to be eye opening is my bet.

Those 24 imans won't move the needle much, imho.

But I think the recent pics of Donald Trump with Ben Shapiro will get a lot of Muslim blue votes.

It also moots the whole "what about North Carolina versus Ukraine" stuff when those people are ok sending even more billions & cozying up to a foreign nation as long as it's Israel.

Just need Biden to let go of his unconditional nostalgic love for Israel. Times have changed. He needs to think about who is inheriting the country after him.
