    Good, I'm all for this. Less innocent children that were conceived will face a brutal death

      I'm all for it as well. Apparently Texas is ready to help fund/finance/provide for the crush of thousands of children born to single mothers working for peanuts. You reap what you sow Texas.

    Since this is truly about women's health, let's have all dental clinics that perform tooth extractions or urology clinics that perform vasectomies, and all other minor surgery/no surgery free-standing clinics, and god knows, *cosmetic procedures*, only run with Drs. who have admitting privileges at local hospitals, fully functioning operating suites with medical-grade filtered air systems, because as a Texan, I just CARE about people who have their wisdom teeth extracted. It should be really, really, really, safe. Safe; like carrying a pregnancy to full-term kind of safe.

      Yeah, that is the part of all of this that I have never understood; how do they get away with singling out abortion and allowing other outpatient surgical procedures elsewhere?

      It's quite transparent, isn't it?

      I'm just furious, but engaged in changing out these old boys.

    So now that procedure is safer, but just a little bit more tricky to get. But will the women be happy that all those thoughtful old, white men did this for them?

      Abortion is one of the safest medical procedure performed. You are 40 times more likely to die during a colonoscopy and those are performed in offices without these kinds of "safety" regulations all the time. This isn't about saving lives. No women have died from medical abortion-related complications in Texas since at least 2008.

      and now you're probably only 40.00000000001 times more likely to die.

    How can a judge worth his/her salt possibly rule that these alterations are medically necessary?

      Their likely being paid.
      Or they just absolutely love Rick perry.

      Personally, i think we should knock up ALL of the anti-abortion people, and make them have sextuplets, and make it public, so we can all keep track, and fine them billions if they abort the pregnancy and automatically eradicate all the laws at once if they do.

      All this crap would be gone overnight, and abortions would be provided thru insurance at your damn pharmacy.

      Not that we can actually do that, but a girl can dream right?

    Give to Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, please. They do the Lord's work. But be warned: do NOT give them your real email address or phone number. They WILL call you and email you 5,000,000,000 times a day and drive you into the arms of pro-life radicals.

      Oh, good tip. I'd stopped donating because they called me weekly and sent my mailings several times a week.

      This seems like an easy problem to solve though (at least keeping the clinics open if not how fucked the law might be). If access to abortion is that important to that many Texas women then they need to put their money where their convictions and good intentions are. Fund the upgrades. Send money from Dallas, Austin...if every woman of reproductive age in Texas gave $1 that would probably keep at least one open. I'm sure there are some who can afford to give more than that.

      I mean if we're gonna have abortions...then yeah, let's spruce this up a little...this place looks scary and sad. If I wasn't already traumatized by the thought of having an abortion I would by the time I left here.

        Are you kidding? Are you really suggesting that the women who are being targeted by these bullshit "health standards" need to pay for completely unnecessary upgrades to the facilities? Abortion clinics have had to abide by the same rules as outpatient clinics of all types - they are being targeted because religious assholes want to restrict women's access to abortions, not because anyone gives a shit about standards.

        And then your suggestion is to put this financially on the backs of the exact women who so desperately need safe and close access to the procedure?

        I shit you not. I live right behind this clinic. This photo is a year old. They recently repainted and added a night security guard and more cameras. Plus they only operate at night so the patients don't get harassed by the protesters during the day.

      In a related story Rick Perry has announced that the products of all unwanted pregnancies can just be dropped off at the steps of the Governor's mansion.

          Women of Texas, a medical abortion is as easy to get as seeing a doctor about your ulcer. Google "drugmonkey misoprostol" if you are in your first trimester and don't want to be.
