A Texas Woman Died After Waiting 40 Hours for Miscarriage Care by [[Cassandra Jaramillo]] and [[Kavitha Surana]]
-
In 2023, Texas lawmakers made a small concession to the outcry over the uncertainty the ban was creating in hospitals.

Doctors can still face prosecution, but are allowed to make the case to a judge or jury that their actions were protected, not unlike self-defense arguments after homicides.

The Topic Concentration chart above lends the clearest picture into the implied rationale behind the bans. Namely, the bans are not and have not been about the physical removal of a book from a shelf. The bans instead are meant to: Virtue signal by people in positions of institutional power to voting-age parents interested in school choice, parental rights, and wedge social issues to the detriment of non-voting age students Reject and exclude topics that challenge a perceived status quo from the public discourse (e.g. non-heteronormativity, non-cis identity, non-traditional gender roles, and non-Judeo-Christian books are targeted)

Current day book banners (2022-2023) wouldn't agree here.
