A federal judge (click here) struck down a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks in a scathing ruling on Tuesday, accusing the state of "gaslighting (click here)" women and attempting to control their bodies.
"The record is clear: States may not ban abortions prior to viability," US District Judge Carlton Reeves wrote in his decision.
The Political Right Wing will attempt now to define viability.
A "non-viable pregnancy" is a pregnancy before 22-24 weeks when a baby if delivered has no chance of survival, even when there is a fetal heart rate in the uterus.
A "viable pregnancy" after 22-24 weeks is a pregnancy when there is a chance that if delivered the baby can survive.
An embryo at conception is NOT a viable pregnancy. When legislators attempt to control abortion instead of women controlling their own bodies, it blurs the line between viability and creates havoc with the common miscarriage.
"So, why are we here?" he continued. "Because the State of Mississippi contends that every court who ruled on a case such as this ‘misinterpreted or misapplied prior Supreme Court abortion precedent.' In that spirit, this Court concludes that the Mississippi Legislature’s professed interest in ‘women’s health’ is pure gaslighting.”...
FOX News is liable in promoting gaslighting by the political Right Wing and is in gross violation of ethical standards. FOX News is engaged in attacks against the USA Democracy.
Gaslighting
By Sephanie A. Sarkis, PhD.
In my book Gaslighting: Recognize Manipulative and Emotionally Abusive People - and Break Free
I detail how gaslighters typically use the following techniques:
1. They tell blatant lies.
2. They deny they ever said something, even though you have proof.
3. They use what is near and dear to you as ammunition.
4. They wear you down over time.
5. Their actions do not match their words.
6. They throw in positive reinforcement to confuse you.
7. They know confusion weakens people.
8. They project.
9. They try to align people against you.
10. They tell you or others that you are crazy.
