Delivered From Sin

Restrictions on abortion rights have bagged two souls for Baby Jesus in the Christian state of Texas, where a woman was protected whether she liked it or not and became quite otherworldly as a result. Presumably as a test of her virtue by the Deity, she suffered a miscarriage in the tenth week of pregnancy, but was denied a routine procedure to clear dead tissue from her uterus in case the tissue in question should be judged an American citizen with all the rights and privileges of posthumous retribution appertaining thereunto. Apparently thanks to the drug that was administered instead, she was gathered unto the Lord along with whatever soul was in the foetus. Despite doubtless clear consciences all round, neither the medical personnel involved nor the piously-named Houston Methodist hospital concern have so far shown any inclination to thank God, the Supreme Court or the Trumpster for the happy ending.
