Kamala Harris: The Attorney General of Texas is suing the Government so that Texas prosecutors can get their hands

[riversedge]

Kamala Harris: The Attorney General of Texas is suing the Government so that Texas prosecutors can get their hands on the private medical records of women who leave the state to get care. So, see what is happening: Donald Trump won't let anyone see his medical records. But these guys want to get their hands on yours? Simply put: They are out of their minds.

And a fitting cartoon for Kamala's words:

1. "The Paxton/Vance vision of abortion rights is that a state with an abortion ban gets to reach into a state without one

I vaguely remember something about this but not any details.

@WestonJK
Paxton is already engaged in this type of abusive overreach. He contacted a hospital in WA state demanding medical records for someone from TX who was being treated (not abortion). Doctors told him to GF himself and alerted the media.

3. If I remember correctly

He wanted medical information on Trans minirs being treated in Washington state.

Ah yes, here is the story

16. Thanks for the link.

I had a vague recollection of this, but couldn't recall the details.

I must say say the headline on this story is a thing of beauty:

Seattle Children’s Hospital sues Texas Attorney General over trans patient records

Bravo, Seattle Children’s Hospital!

19. Yes. He did.

I think that was to distract from the gop controlled Texas House of Representatives impeaching Mr. Paxton for his various crime sprees.

https://www.texastribune.org/2023/05/27/ken-paxton-impeached-texas-attorney-general/

The Texas House voted 121-23 to impeach Mr. Paxton. The Texas senate, after serious pressure from Mr. Trump and various (equally criminal?) big gop donors, voted to acquit. Mr. Paxton remains under federal investigation.

4. This must not be allowed to happen.

5. Doesn't much matter

The doctors are so busy practicing "CORPORATE POLICY" vs practicing "MEDICINE" these days.

I have two friends, who are doctors, that have stated this exact reason for retiring early......

11. Why do they bother with the Do No Harm oath any more?

It's completely meaningless.

[Zilli]

14. Clearly, the 1st rule is illegal in texas as demonstrated by the need to flee in order to live.

[markodochartaigh]

20. Do no harm is a standard used by doctors.

These laws and court rulings are promulgated by politicians and judges, few of whom are doctors.

[birdographer]

21. I wasn't talking about laws and court rulings,

I was asking about the Hippocratic Oath that doctors take.

[DENVERPOPS]

23. YES.........

8. state line

there’s a short video on youtube entitled “state line”. i believe it is from the lincoln project. every american should watch it. the maga movement is terrifying and we need to defeat it.

9. A Harris shoutout to good ole boy, Kenny Paxton.

Letting women in Texas and across the Nation that the THREAT to their privacy and lives are REAL!

Any woman STILL voting for Trump, you have been put on notice! Your daughters and Granddaughters lives for the WORST will be YOUR FAULTS!

10. A company already exists that can track women via cellphones.

The technology f this company could be used, illegally now, to identify women who went to an abortion clinic in another state.

“Ever heard of Babel Street? Unless you’re a data and analytics enthusiast, it’s likely you haven’t. The Virginia-based technology company isn’t a household name the way that Google and Facebook are. And yet the company most likely knows a hell of a lot about you and everyone else in your household.

Babel Street, you see, has a people-tracking service called Locate X, that allows customers to track individual mobile users by their Mobile Advertising ID: a string of characters that uniquely identifies your phone or other smart device. Where it gets really creepy is that, according to recent reporting from Krebs on Security and other outlets, Babel Street allows its customers, which include government agencies, to “draw a digital polygon around nearly any location on a map of the world, and view a slightly dated (by a few days) time-lapse history of the mobile devices seen coming in and out of the specified area”.

What does this mean? Well, among many other disturbing things, it means that you could use Locate X to zoom in on an abortion clinic and see exactly who is going in and out of it.”

12. If Paxton gets to peek into other folks' records to see if their travel is OK by him,

why can't other folks peek his records to check if his travel is entirely above board?

[BonnieJW]

13. What makes all of this truly an outrage

is that none of these effers give two shits about babies or children. They only want to control and subjugate women and girls. If they had their way, they would put poor kids on the streets with begging bowls.

[Collimator]

15. Some of the folks in the same political camp. . .

. . . Made all sorts of noises about HIPPA when it came to vaccines and masks and tracking covid outbreaks.

[Tweedy]

17. AG Paxton wants law enforcement

focused solely on wombs and deportations.

That way crooks like TX AG Paxton can crime away without consequence. Think of all of the lovely grifts the crooks can run while the country’s law enforcement is running down some womb or some noisy labor organizer.

It is just a win win all around for criminal types the world over.

Don’t be fooled. Mr. Trump and his elected sycophants are simply kleptocrats wearing Republican suits.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

18. And it seems there are more law breakers than honest men in Texas.
