So bail for abortion is 500k in Texas, I honestly wonder what bail is in Texas for actual Murder?
Surely I'd they are posturing abortion as murder, the bail would be the exact same right?

This is the system working as intended. If she was white you know she wouldn't have been charged in the first place. If she was wealthy she would have been fine paying for an abortion. It's middle and lower class women of colour who will face the full force of these laws.
Bascially "We don't want this law to actually get challenged in appeals court, we just want to terrify women and abortion providers into forced birth"
Isn't she able to, from the recent SC ruling, sue the arresting police officers for damages and everything else?
Also, yeah, they are extremely afraid of this going to any real court. Fuck these pieces of shit.

I mean yeah, that's the goal. I've heard stories before Roe v Wade of women who had a miscarriage at birth and had to sit there with a dead fetus sticking out of their vagina waiting for the police to arrive to investigate that it wasn't an abortion.
Awful and backwards as fuck.

It is awful and backwards but let's not pretend that charging, arresting, then jailing for large bond amounts is limited to the GOP and Conservative counties. It happens all the time in Dem cities and counties including Starr County. It's a huge problem throughout the US.

Can we get Abbot and the GOP arrested for trying to abort democracy?

You could if the vast majority of police didn't agree with their politics.
Something feels off about this whole story and hoping we get more clarity; wouldn't be surprised if its the usual prosecutorial overreach for a re-election bid or something because this quick a retreat after going semi-viral is odd when they usually double or triple down.
Like someone said above, this was probably an 'imperfect' case to take down Roe X Wade and they wanna wait for a better chance, or feared that an actual full frontal attack before midterms could go the opposite way as opposed to sneak state level attacks

Charges being dropped doesn't inherently make them false. In this case, they likely are but the officers still may be protected by qualified immunity if sued.
I don't see why this case would be used to overturn Roe or Casey. Conservatives already have the Mississippi case being decided which will likely gut Roe and Casey.
The case I'm thinking of involved the 4th amendment and charges filed that were later dropped. SCOTUS determined the guy affirmed his innocence and the prosecution didn't end in conviction so qualified immunity protections were not valid in the case.
That's not what the case said. It said the case can continue but that qualified immunity may still protect officers.
America Era… your country is grade A fucked up. Jesus Murphy. Shit is vile. Insane how emboldened these politicians are too now that they know courts will likely back them up to the breaking point.
Oof, you're right. I just don't see how qualified immunity would protect the officers if the charges were demonstrably false and malicious.
Oh right, this. Forgot where I live.
Because that's the point of qualified immunity. Legal scholars and such can talk about how it's to prevent harassment of police but it's so they can do whatever they want without real consequences.
There's probably a lawsuit in there somewhere, since there's no actual law that covers this type of "murder". They arrested and detained her for something they literally just made up.
And the other fucked up thing is that they actually got a grand jury indictment out of it. That's the kind of people we have on grand juries around here, apparently, are the kinds that don't ask if the charge is even real before legitimizing it.

Yet.
Give them time, they'll probably get around to it. They'll probably call it "closing a loophole".
Remember, it can always get worse if people don't fight back.

El Salvador’s abortion ban jails women for miscarriages and stillbirths – now one woman’s family seeks international justice
Hundreds of Salvadoran women have been prosecuted for homicide for having abortions, miscarriages or stillbirths since 1997. Now an international court must decide: Is that legal?

I could be wrong but isnt it only allowed if the pregnancy is harmfull to the mother's well being?
there should be something on the books against harming unborn children, just in general. I assume it would be like assault against the mother, + added assault against the unborn child. but this probably isn't that.
