A Texas abortion doctor is intentionally breaking Texas’ new abortion ban, providing an abortion to a patient more than six weeks into her pregnancy since conception, to test the justice system under the new law.
“And that is why, on the morning of Sept. 6, I provided an abortion to a woman who, though still in her first trimester, was beyond the state’s new limit,” Dr. Alan Braid from San Antonio, Texas, wrote in The Washington Post, not mentioning how far along past six weeks the pregnancy was. “I acted because I had a duty of care to this patient, as I do for all patients, and because she has a fundamental right to receive this care.
“I fully understood that there could be legal consequences — but I wanted to make sure that Texas didn’t get away with its bid to prevent this blatantly unconstitutional law from being tested.”
Texas’ S.B. 8 worked to curb abortions beyond the sixth week of pregnancy by permitting Braid to be sued by anyone for at least $10,000.
“They could also sue anybody who helps a person obtain an abortion past the new limit, including, apparently, the driver who brings a patient to my clinic,” Braid wrote.

Horrible. That doctor should lose his license for murder
you must be a devout Catholic, you have to understand not everyone subscribes to your religion.
The Rambam calls it Murder. So does Rav Moshe Feinstein.
It’s common sense. Murder is murder. It is not a religious thing. Leftists say that women have the right to kill their fetuses because why should they have to deal with the responsibilities of raising a kid. That makes no sense. Live with the consequences of your actions.
Would YOU like to be a test case? Did you even read the article? Idiot.
You certainly are not an idiot and thus realize this lady would otherwise get an abortion in another state. And given you are so intelligent, you must be aware that abortion is rather different from murder halachically even when it is forbidden. In any case most abortions are done by non jews.
Is that the best you can do?
How many thousands of babies are they planning to abort in order “to test”.
Is he going to use a hanger? Wicked evil doctor. It’s too bad his mother didn’t abort him while she was carrying this murderer.
Killing a baby to test the waters? Disgusting.
or, mr. anonymous, a devout jew. or maybe just a normal person? since when did it become ok to abort babies to ‘test the waters’?
