Hochul, responding to the latest request from Paxton’s office, claimed he was attempting to dictate “the personal decisions of women across America.”
“Our response to their baseless claim is clear: no way in hell. New York won’t be bullied,” she said in a prepared statement. “And I’ll never back down from this fight.”
Ken Paxton is a dickless moron. Tell your friends.
If reciprocal enforcement can allow Texas to force NY to follow their laws, then why can’t NY force Texas to provide abortions?
Or enforce NY gun laws in Texas. They’ll care a lot more about that.
Fugitive slave act redux
This is basically an extension of the law that compelled non-slave states to return escaped slaves to the owners in Southern states.
No state should be compelled to follow an immoral law in another state. Texas can’t force NY to refuse to treat a patient, any more than NY can force Texas to provide an abortion.
Wouldn’t the Texas requirement allow New York to challenge all the southern bullshit, like religion in schools, book bans, etc?
Do they want to open that can of worms?
Also, this makes as much sense as North Korea trying to get the US to abide by their laws.
True story.
One night a woman came to our Catholic hospital ER in Central Texas because she was sexually assaulted.
The doctor prescribed Plan B because the victim didn’t want to carry her rapist’s baby.
Our hospital refused to dispense it. Poor woman had to wait two days to get it from CVS.
This is the reality
Excuse my life, but what the fuck is a Catholic hospital?
“Welcome good sirs to my church of the Bristol Stool Chart!”
Fun facts (they are not fun):
After a forced stay in their psych ward, my local Catholic Hospital asked me if I “felt the light of god during [my] stay?” They also don’t prescribe birth control and have a general hate-boner for having to help fat women. I had to teach my doctor what a trans person is and how to address one (this decade).
Anyway, they bought all the medical buildings in all the towns near me. Woo!
The Seventh Day Adventists also have a shit ton of hospitals, the largest among the Protestant denominations iirc. You’ve probably heard of the Kellogg families impact on things like popularizing circumcision…
SDAs also have a substantial impact on the modern conspiracy theory landscape. The cult at Waco was an offshoot, Bill Cooper incorporated their propaganda in his weirdo narrative, if you live in the US you’ve probably got their book mailed about the “Sunday Law”….
Advent owns most of the Hospitals and urgent care facilities in my area. Walking through the hospital, there are a constant religious references. One has a huge painting of a person dying in bed, their family and doctor gathered around, with a brightly painted and shining Jesus among them.
I’ve got a problem with a hospital who still considers divine intervention to be a viable medical strategy. What is this, the fucking Middle Ages?
Lots of hospitals were started by churches.
One of Texas’s biggest medical providers is the Methodist Health System, with 12 full-fledged hospitals and over 100 clinics that started as a hospital in Houston founded by the Methodist church. For most people, it’s just another hospital. The church doesn’t get any of the money or anything.
Catholic hospitals, however, are a little more notorious for denying care based on religious principles - with abortion and birth control being the big one. They won’t do abortions, offer contraceptives, or perform vasectomies, for instance.
I’m not religious in the slightest, but in my experience, them Methodists seem pretty chill. Worked with one to make their website a while a back and their pastor was the most laid back, easy to work with dude, loved everyone, black, white, brown, straight, gay, trans, whatever. I miss that guy.
The Methodist Church has always been staunchly anti-gay. Some are trying to change it, but the bigotry remains.
It seems the United Methodists are the more tolerant ones compared to the Global Methodists? I’m not sure, like I said, I’m not religious in any sense and by and large avoid this world. Apologies for any ignorance on my side. My experience is entirely anecdotal. The only thing I can truly say with full confidence is that this one particular church was a generally decent and tolerant group of people.
I grew up Methodist, although it never took with me. I always thought it was a fairly tolerant sect, until they started going after the gays. I’m not gay, but I have lots of friends and family who are, and I won’t tolerate any intolerance toward them. Not that I’d be considering ever going to church again, but if I were, Methodists would be off the list.
Be careful now.
The methodist church had a schism recently. There’s the “United Methodist” and the new “Global Methodist.”
The Global Methodist church was founded specifically to exclude gay people. They also have much smaller apportionments (church’s equivalent of taxes that the individual churches pay to the organization and is used for things like relief work), and allow the congregations to directly hore and fire clergy so the preachers can’t get all uppity and tell them not to be prejudiced or to be kind or welcoming to people who aren’t like you.
Ahhh, interesting. These guys were United Methodists, if that wasn’t obvious haha.
The split didn’t happen until 2024.
Methodists are also okay with women being pastors/priests/preachers. They’re also pretty good at begging everyone for money.
The old pastor retired and just so happened to have been replaced by a woman! I don’t know her personally like I did him, but every time I drive by, her messages out on the front board are always full of the same positivity and tongue and cheek shit I actually look forward to reading.
Unlike the other churches around that are like “you better pray or you’re going to hell” and other threatening garbage.
Organized medical care has a long history of being carried out by members of religious orders, with formal doctors and nurses being pretty recent in the grand scheme of things.
In the olden days in Europe, medicine was almost exclusively the responsibility of the religious leaders, since a large portion of medicine is death, and death is a religion’s bread & butter.
High-ranking people knew to supplement their monk doctors with a military-experienced battlefield medic, who knew how to treat serious injuries with actual medical treatment, and not just prayers.
Excuse my life, but what the fuck is a Catholic hospital?
“Welcome good sirs to my church of the Bristol Stool Chart!”
What’s a Catholic hospital? It is a scram!
Is that a number 7?
There’s a lot of Catholic-owned hospitals. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Church_and_health_care
Religion is a monstrous evil.
Sorry to ask, but if such a place didn’t want to dispense it, why would they have it? Am I not understanding something about pharmacies here?
They should have it for the same reason they should have aspirin its called for.
Sorry shitstain, other parts of the country actually allow women to have rights.
Go fail at saving some kids from drowning and let the civilized people do their thing.
Chernobyl patient
To wit: there’s a NY state law that makes it illegal for state officials to help shit-ass states like Texas follow through on legal threats like this within the context of the NY legal system. This is that law working as intended.
Or more succinctly: lick my taint, Ken Paxton, you fucking imbecilic psychopath.
it’s only a matter of time before the supreme court forces new york to comply; i hope that the doctor is prepared for this and finds another way to help with protecting themself.
when slavery was a thing, the shitty laws from shitty states to reclaim escaped slaves took primacy over laws from abolitionist states that would have protected them due to the supreme court and it took a war to overcome it.
The US Supreme Court can’t currently do what you say without a law change at the federal level.
Also, the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery (mostly) was passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865 after the end of the US Civil War.
Regarding your second paragraph:
Uh, yeah, that doesn’t contradict what they said. They were referring to free states which had abolished slavery at the state level, which were forced by federal law to help southern states reclaim slaves that escaped north. It has nothing to do with the 13th Amendment.
And the Supreme Court of the United States rules based on federal law which, prior to the 13th, meant that under federal law slavery was not illegal and slaves were still considered property.
It’s why the civil war was fought and then the amendment was passed. The victor makes the rules and since the United States beat the Confederate States, they made the rules.
It’s not even an equal comparison, particularly because of the precedent set in Dobbs by SCOTUS establishing abortion protections as a state issue.
the Supreme Court issued its landmark decision upholding Mississippi’s law and overturning Roe v. Wade. With that ruling, the Court returned lawmaking decisions about abortion to the states.
Do you think the actual law matters to the Supreme Court? They act more like priests now.
The supreme court wants some pretence of law otherwise their cushy jobs might be at risk. It’s why the somewhat push back on Trump
I didn’t think about what matters to SCOTUS at all.
The law still matters to people and that’s what’s important. Only after we, abandon the rule of law will there be a complete breakdown of society and a descent into chaos and anarchy.
I know from all the doom posting I see on Lemmy that many don’t, but I still have hope.
We’ve been literally dismantling the first amendment (Establishment clause particularly). And the fourteenth (the whole fucking thing by EO).
I know from all the doom posting I see on Lemmy that many don’t, but I still have hope.
i hope that the doctor is prepared for this and finds another way to help with protecting themself.
The airport code is YYZ but driving up from Buffalo is cool too.
You’d think a world-class corporate news organiztion like Associated Press would be able to shoehorn that into the title somehow. And yet.
It’s literally the second paragraph of the article. You’d think a literate person with time to write inane comments would be able to read the article. And yet.
FYI, it seems like you are marked as a bot. You might want to change that (assuming you aren’t a bot)
Thanks I’m fairly certain that I’m a human.
No, but there’s something with your profile on your instance server, where clients that can indicate bots with an icon cause your account to show that icon. So people will think you’re a bot
We’re gonna do this again?
Hey! THE HEADLINE and THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE are two different things. Can you grasp the concept?? Does your inanity know no bounds?! Have you, at long last, no sense of decency, sir?!
Hey! THE HEADLINE and THE BODY OF THE ARTICLE are part of the same body of work. If you want all the context, read all of the work.
If they put all the context in the title, the title would just be the article and would need its own summary.
Indeed. The Title of the book and the Entirety of the Book are part of the same work! If you want to comment on the title of the book you MUST read the entirety of the book!
The trailer for the movie and the entire movie are part of the same body of work. If you want to comment on the trailer for the movie you must see the entire movie first.
The appetizer and the dinner are part of the same body of work if you want to comment on the appetizer you must eat the entire dinner first.
Etc, Etc.
If they put all the context in the title, the title would just be the article and would need its own summary.
The title HAS a context without anything else being done. That is the point. The title (while being part of the same body of work) is alone. And here’s the thing: most people don’t see the whole movie before taking something away from the trailer. (Super-seekrit PRO TIP: The people who create the trailers know this and use it to their advantage.)
Comparing a movie that takes an hour+ to watch to an article that it would take you 5 minutes to read tops to get enough context to not make dumb comments. Yeah, totally comparable.
People like you are why I have to send multiple work emails after I’ve already mentioned all the relevant details in the first message, all because I didn’t put the whole gods damned message in the subject line.
Take a hooked on phonics course if reading is that hard for you.
FFS I’m not talking about the article for a reason. How (or why) you refuse to understand that is beyond me.
Yeah yeah hooked on phonics, ace repartee. Anyway.
What are you talking about???
In journalism, headlines have always been used to try to entice people into reading the article. Not to give the entire story so that people won’t need to read the article.
😐
That’s a lot of information the shoe horn into the title when it seems perfectly reasonable just put it in the article itself. That’s what articles are for after all, the context.
“as per NY law” ?
four words? none longer than three letters? That’s a lot? Really?
No.
Man I don’t think you understand what the point of a title is. It’s not to give you all the information you need. That’s what the article is for.
Does a title affect people? Just reading one sentence about something “newsworthy”? Do you think titles alone can have an effect on the political nature of a country, or a social group?
I don’t think you understand what the point of a title is. Or what I’m talking about. Despite it being painfully obvious.
Poor boy has had a rough week, first his wife says she wants a divorce because of his adultery and now he finds out he’s impotent in a different state.
Being a dog fearing christian is tough in this day and age, especially when you’re actually a shitbag.
There’s absolutely no way in hell that it’s just adultery, not when she explicitly says that she can’t remain and still hold on to her ‘Christian’ values. Paxton has done a fuckton of things things that explicitly go against what Jesus taught in the four gospels, and against damn near everything that Paul wrote as well, so it’s gotta be more than just extra-marital sex.
Sorry, we don’t handle verdicts from rogue nations
“While I’m not entirely sure how things work in Texas, here in New York, a rejection means the matter is closed,” Bruck wrote in a letter to Texas officials.
I imagine Paxton blew a gasket over that. Lmao.
Fugitive Slave Acts all over again.
“State’s rights for me, federalism for you.”
- every conservative state
Ken Paxton out here looking like he had a chemical peel.
alcohol and too much sun does that, also caucasian people dont do well under the sun or alcoholism, its the red flushing to the face.
Texas politicians are so shit they need to infect other states.
Get your shit together Texas.
they have a flooding, and this is all they could think about.
They won’t.
We’ll just have to do what we’ve always done and sit back and watch Texans continually punch themselves in the face because they can’t figure things out.
As a totally non correlated observation, I feel like there are a lot more Texas plates on the road lately vs previous years. And I’m in a way-up-north state.
they did have a flood recently, its rats fleeing a sinking ship.
I’ve been noticing it since January, though I can’t say I was paying very close attention to out of state plates last year.
