'"..Medical and legal experts say the ways in which exceptions to the abortion ban for conditions that could cause death or create a “serious risk of substantial impairment of a major bodily function” are defined, and who gets to define them, already differ from one hospital and physician to the next. The result has been confusion, and complicated debates, among health-care providers around the state. The new Texas laws are open to a wide range of interpretations, and that is leading some doctors who fear prosecution to wait until a patient is at death’s door to perform a life-saving abortion. For anyone engaged in family planning or at the nexus of pregnancy and a health crisis, critical legal questions remain unanswered.
In hopes of understanding when exactly threats to the life and long-term health of the mother are acceptable reasons under Texas law to obtain an abortion, Texas Monthly sought clarification from Paxton, as well as the bill’s author and the legislators who passed the law—the 79 current members of the state House of Representatives and 19 members of the state Senate who voted to pass HB 1280. We also asked defense lawyers, district attorneys, doctors, medical ethicists, right-to-life organizations, and state leaders. In each conversation, our goal was simple: to identify a working definition for what constitutes a serious risk to “the life of a mother” or “substantial impairment of a major bodily function.”
Despite our extensive outreach, we got few straight answers—though some of the roundabout ones were revealing. Of the Texas legislators to whom we gave an opportunity to help the public better understand the basic architecture of a dramatic shift in policy that so many lawmakers claim to champion, only one agreed to an interview.
"Bryan Slaton, a Republican from Royse City, was the only lawmaker who responded to Texas Monthly’s request for clarity about HB 1280. A pastor and businessman, Slaton said the “main goal” of the trigger law was “protecting a life.” “It wasn’t focused on exceptions,” he said.
“Scientific evidence, medical opinion, and the health and safety of our communities are not what is being taken into consideration when making abortion bans. These rules are not designed to keep pregnant people safe, [they’re] to exert control over women’s bodily autonomy.”

For What Feels Like Eternity
Morpheus x Reader
Summary: The King of Dreams stumbles into your dream, chased by a monster, and you save his life. Now he owes you a debt. 
A/N: SFW (so far) and short. Potentially part 1? I don’t usually write character x reader ships so lmk if yall vibe with this
Tumblr media
Your romance with the King of Dreams begins, as all good romances do, with a Buzzfeed article.
Well, just the headline of a Buzzfeed article.
Actually a screenshot of the headline of a Buzzfeed article that you saw in a meme on Tumblr.
But the point is you saw it.
“Live Your Fantasy Life In Your Dreams? Try Lucid Dreaming!”
You’d heard of lucid dreaming before - the ability to “wake up” in your dreams, and eventually, to control them.
Screw it. Why not?
You read skim some articles and get to work.
At first you don’t see any results, but eventually you start to realize you’re getting the hang of it.
And then one day, it works.
You’re dreaming. You’re standing in a grassy field. It all feels very solid, in a way you can’t quite describe.
You imagine a door, and one appears in front of you.
You open the door. Inside is a huge pile of cash.
You stare at it for a while. Kinda underwhelming. Not a lot of places to spend money in a dream.
You close the door. You think on it. Then you open the door again.
A beautiful brown pony stands on the opposite side of the doorframe, chewing lazily on the grass.
Nice.
A pony is better than cash, but what’s better than a pony?
You close the door, and open it again.
Now there are two ponies.
Absolutely hell yeah.
While you’re on the verge of thinking of something even better than two ponies (it’s three ponies), there’s a crashing sound behind you.
A very tall man steps out of a plasmic rift. He is tall for about three seconds until he collapses to his knees, breathing heavily.
The plasmic rift flickers unstably behind him, licking at his boots with icy blue tendrils.
You stare. The man has wild black hair. He’s wearing a long black coat, torn at the edges. As he takes a deep breath, you catch sharp facial features, cheekbones, and piercing eyes.
You take a moment to confirm that you didn’t imagine him into existence in your dream for . . . reasons.
A raven flies out of the rift, flapping frantically.
“Sir, it’s right behind you!”
“I know,” says a voice, so deep it hits you in your bones and maybe other places.
“You’ve got to close the portal!” The raven flaps haphazardly and then seems to spot you. “Look, there! Ask them!”
“No,” says the man, without even looking at you. “They’re merely a dreamer.”
Ouch. Thanks for the vote of confidence, mysterious hot man in your dream!
“But sir-“
Screams. Screams like the shrieking of souls, like bells, like knives.
Something crashes through the portal. It’s mostly a writhing mass of cosmos. Every now and then an arm or leg glorps out of the mass, giving the impression that at some point this thing was humanoid.
“Sir! You’ve got to get up! We’ve got to go back-“
The thing screeches.
It seems to affect the mysterious man in some way. He gasps, falling to the ground fully, clawing at the dirt with long pale fingers, grasping at . . . something.
The screeching is loud and painful until it isn’t, when three ponies crash into the comic mass.
The mass tumbles to the ground. It manages a few awful shrieks, but the ponies stomp on it a bunch and that seems to shut it up pretty good.
It glows for a bit, angrily, like a flame, before dissolving into sand.
Silence, but for the labored breathing of the man.
“Hello?” you ask.
Nothing. Maybe he’s dead?
Tentatively, you approach him.
As you get closer, you notice something ethereal about him. Something sort of . . . glossy. Like someone’s smeared vaseline over the camera lens.
One pale hand lies on the grass, palm upright, dirt under the nails from where he clawed at the grass.
You kneel down.
“Hey,” you say, gently.
Tentatively, you touch his outstretched fingertips.
For one very short but somehow also long moment, you register the texture of his fingers (soft) and the temperature of his skin (cool).
And then suddenly you’re not kneeling down, you’re actually standing up. And so is he, and he’s looking at you with an unreadable yet also somewhat condescending expression.
He’s intimidating now. His coat billows in the wind. There is something both soft and sharp about him. Power.
“Are you okay?” you try.
He tilts his head. His eyes are - whoah. Infinite cosmos, possibly, and they’re all judging you.
“Did you do that?” he asks, finally, in that cold, low, terrifying, exciting voice. “The horses?”
You look over. The ponies are eating the sand.
“Yes,” you say. “Ponies, not horses, though.”
“Hmm,” he says. He’s still looking at you. In that moment you truly understand the meaning of the word “piercing gaze.”
But the way he’s looking at you - it’s not hatred, you don’t think, it’s more like . . . he’s found something interesting, and he’s not sure what to make of it yet.
“Sir?” prompts the raven.
The man breaks your gaze and sighs. He still sags a bit. Whatever battle he’s been through has taken a toll.
“What was that?” you ask.
He shakes his head and looks at the ground, like he’s disappointed. “A failed experiment. I . . . shall not make the same mistake again.”
“Did it . . . hurt you?”
“Of course not,” he answers. He’s bad at lying. “Just a simple nightmare gone wrong.”
“But,” interrupts the raven. “Maybe we should go back to the castle anyway? Not to recover, of course. Just to . . . check on things.”
“Very well.”
The man looks back at you, giving you that unreadable expression again.
“It seems that I owe you a debt of gratitude,” he says, finally.
“Oh?” you manage.
He brushes dirt off of his hands. “Summon me in a dream, and I will do what I can to assist. Within the limits of my power, and of reason.”
“Okay!” you say, because why not.
With obvious effort, the man walks toward the rift, still flickering open in the background. You watch him go. It feels surreal, but this is a dream, after all.
“Hey,” you call after him. “Is any of this real? Or is this just a dream?”
He turns his head and raises an eyebrow. Maybe a bit of a smile. Dang, he’s hot.
“Just a dream?”

Yeah shit man who better to trust with Hercules than Gus-Gus and Gus?
They are amazing in Cinderella.
Its not the first time Christina Hendricks has used the Gus-Gus and Gus analogy on Declan and Annabelle.
It is always so dam cute y'all know Gus-Gus and Gus is always one of your favorites, you can't help but love their characteristics!
This one is hilariously greatly excellent!
And extremely visual!!
And you know i believed they could save him because her adorable hilarity is true but their actual size made them just tall enough to save him
Declan had a plan to jump in the tub to pick up his head from the front and send Annabelle to fetch me. The only thing Declan was unsure of and this is beautiful if the tub plug should be pulled first and him get cold while they waited or if Declan had enough strength "to hold this giant man up to save his life"
So Declan thought if they were fast enough to get very little water in his lungs and I took too long, Declan could stop holding the "giant man" long enough to pull the plug and then return to,his face to assess the damage then again. But Declan hoped the speed was in him "to save the giant man that Declan loved"
Because in your last video short it ended in Declan eavesdropping and opening the door to say "you can apologize to my face!"
And he did. Brian picked up Declan and said "I am sorry yoh are just too cute and I was too scared to realize every thing would be alright and when I saw your face in horror I actually felt bad but I didn't know how to show it tonight at dinner"
"Oh it's alright. You can put me down now"
Which resulted in Annabelle Tears because she, too, needed an apology but he hadn't realized it.
Then when things calmed down I felt a deep seriousness in the air which was very tactical and not dark nor light, tense but not relaxed but calm.
And so I asked "well what were your plans to save him then?"
And Declan went into the spill as I said above with great creative energy and it was mind blowing.
Declan and Annabelle were both So so small. I wouldn't had ever thought that they would climbed in the tub to save him and risk their own life if he woke up and thought they were terrorists in the middle east but Declan did consider that and Declan said "that was a risk I was willing to take -- he knew he was in the bath and you were there and stuff so I figured I would be safe if I just talked and said "this is Declan and I'm here to save you so you don't drown" I figured I ought to be generouslu safe then and I'm strong and I could say "open your eyes and he could see if it was me" but if I was behind, I would certainly be killed, my head in the toilet or something""
Declan had so Much care and compassion built into these plans to save him from drowning when I had had none.
And so we actually let them practice with him in the tub and all in bathing suits to help us all including Dan from drowning in the tub and we all learned how to lay to prevent our own drowning in the event of sleep.
Which Tree will produce that safety video for us. He said.
So it is also something you families can do at home in Quarentine.
Because hot baths are excellent for bone and muscle pain (healthcare and restaurants and store workers) and for the lungs to breathe and I have fallen asleep in December - March from just being exhausted from work and the stress of reducing human trafficking to zero. And apparently y'all even seen video of it.
Which was funny I am sure. But it felt so so so so good to fall asleep and it sucked having to wake up to wash my hair. Because the sleep was so good.
Declan now today says on 4-25-2020 "God i could had a heart attack but all i did was laugh but now I know why. I prepared you to sleep and not slip and slide and drown. Now i feel relieved and a deep safe darkness around my pride to protect me"
Blessed Child "i could had a heart attack but all i did was laugh" i love that so much and i love that we took the time to take all that worry and consideration to help erarse that super fear. It gives me joy. And fills my lungs and heart with oxygen rich cells.
Happiness can falter and fade away but Joy it always stays deep inside yoh to propel you into the future. Joy has a sunny presence while Happiness can exist in any conditions, joy can only exist in educated and true pure form of love and existence.
Rock the Vote gives me joy. Never wanting to be in politics but giving that ability to vote and reassure the African American and other immigrants that there is a group standing tall and strong behind them that sre as rich as politicians but want all races and ethnicities to vote as it is their Right. That gives me joy.
RockTheVote.org don't forget to register and vote. All immigrants and nationalities, African American and Latino, Caucasian. We stand behind you to give you the ability to vote and will defend you to our own death if anything happens to you like it did prior to 1970 and a few exclusions since. And if anything should happen we have some of the richest people in the world to stop what they are doing and help you survive a beating while in line to vote or suddenly thereafter. That is why i programmed it the way i did. Rock the Vote with rich musicians to say they have their life and they will share it to protect you if something bad should happen. And it did in the last 30 years very rarely but tree always told us of each and every event. And we stood behind that paying hospital bills and hiring private security to take people to vote and then installing security of our own at those polling stations for the future. And as i said, to our own death, our private security would beat and fight any one attacking any voter, especially one of any color. So Caucasians didn't have to witness it and be afraid to catch their own death.
So Rock the Vote gives me immense joy. Because we willingly and unselfishly destroy the fear and attacks against voters as it is our job.
Hopefully soon we can stop the illegal and false Voting. Registering to vote and then Voting can help. We have 2 Trillion U.S. residents with social security numbers ready to vote This year!!
Yall are all seeing what is on the news regarding Trump. I will be honest, Biden is who we need but if we could pick a different party other than the Republican (we will drop a vote later today)
So if half of the United States votes for Biden then the other half votes for a mixture of the minority parties then we can rise them up where they can be seen at more than 1% of the votes.
So maybe 3 good people running for president and they share 1/3 of half the votes. Thats 16% each with Biden at 50% That's kinda low.
But that would be fucking amazing and has never Been done in the history of America.
We can change the entire political system coming this November!
Isn't that exciting?!? That is what Ms Chen was talking about taking that power and harnessing it so the world would be safe for others. Including us...
That makes determination. That is our energy to create and show the power we possess with 2 Trillion American voters. 2/3 being full flesh human. 1/8 being honorary humans. A full 3/4 are guaranteed to live to see November 2020 to change the whole political system and destroy what it sets on.
So what tree will do is he says there are 5 candidates that are worthy due to their souls and hard work and humanitarian based minds. (Including Biden)
And so in DNA4U and in your testing and education area he will educate you of all 5 candidates
Then he will recommend who is best for you to vote for due to your heart and how and who you want to see in that beautiful oval office.
So he will make personal recommendations for each individual with DNA4U and has the ability to vote.
(We will keep Trump alive till then for the ultimate torture) and so tree tells me 99% of registered voters that should die of COVID will still be alive to vote. Some are evil and watched carefully. Others are not.
So us tiny Gus-Gus and Gus that we are as voters can pull a Declan (love that name today) and do a Ms Chen and hold our chins up high and destroy the national government's Democrat and Republican only system.
We can take those donkey and elephants and ride them out of town! Of course Biden is Democratic. But in 2024 he may change to his own small political party that suits him best.
So tree is gonna help us fulfill the ultimate American dream and Rock the Vote so hard the cradle falls from the tree.
Rock a bye baby? I always always sang that to Annabelle for hours if she couldn't sleep.
Rock a bye baby in the tree top, when the wind blows the cradle will rock. And when the Bough breaks the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all.
A New America.
Personally and for Rock the Vote, I always explained to Tree, Day One is the FREEDOM to vote and to NOT INFLUENCE on their decision to vote. But to encourage and protect.
However i told Tree of my Ultimate Dream which I have so declared. And he told me "when the time is right. Hindsight. Let's listen to Megadeth and you relax and get some sleep, when the time is right we will be ready. Its too far away now to explain. But sleep now my child"
He would also say "this is the 10th time you've told me this! I told you it's fine but not today!! Now go to sleep!"
You know we say our prayers before sleep. Think about what we did and what we need to do. While some of us don't see them as prayers, they are. I would not rest until the political system of the United States of America would and could change
And now it is the time, November 2020. This is the first time America has had So many voters. All with social security numbers because we've stopped human trafficking.
(For the most part) if they were found in the United States of America, they were issued social security numbers immediately. They were here working having their freedom taken away. So many are duel citizens. They earned the right to have a social security number. They lived and worked here against their will. And it is a law they are allowed to obtain a social security number for being kidnapped and put into human trafficking in the United States of America.
The law was put into effect by Obama and Biden during their administration. Biden complained they could do more but he didn't know what and Obama did. Social Security numbers and Citizenship. No testing required. The law was passed through Congress both the House in the Senate and Representatives. Should have been happening since 1882 because that was the law back then. Obama had it found and they reenacted it with a few minor updates and privileges. (1902 the law had been overturned by the then President and their political party which is now actually the Republican party).
This law will not be overturned because I will have tanks stationed at each fucking member of Congress to follow them around and let them know shit is gonna hit the fucking fan. I have more tanks than there are hospitals in the world. And I will kill each and every one that votes to overthrow the law. I shit you not. I have killed more people than Hitler. And with my bare hands in a mere two years killed 8,291 kidnappers. Kidnappers. So I'm very serious about protecting this law, I may look like a crazy psychopath but that is my right to do so.
In conclusion we can as small little mice, together, destroy an entire government. And we will with Tree's help.
As I said it is not the RIGHT of Rock the Vote to suggest who to vote for. But realize that Biden is a Vice President of 8 years and is against human trafficking and bull shit.
And so Tree will take care of that (suggestions on voting) because we have a total of 4.9 Trillion people who have the right to vote in the November 2020 election. And that is amazing. Never before in History has this been available.
And since most are first time voters Tree will guide you step by step and show you each candidate from birth. Including Trump and show you who they really are and not what they want you to see.
So only half our available voters are registered!!
If you left the country, tree will explain how you can still register as a duel citizen (rock the Vote isn't updated enough yet, hopefully they get onto that) in the DNA4U app.
He will do your personal suggestions first. Teach you all of them then have you review your suggestions. Then you can see and feel the difference heavily as to why those were ranked in that special way just for you.
He will do 2 ranking systems. 1 best for the world and 1 best fit of President of the qualifying 5 for your personality. Then he will suggest the vote for you to make to change the US government's political system.
So while Biden may be your heart. He may suggest a minor political party because Biden has too many votes already. Or vice versa.
So the suggestion MIGHT alter from your ranking system but he thinks it shouldn't have that effect as the world is more balanced and great minded than it seems to be.
So y'all are doing better than expected from 30 years ago's predictions.
So wrap that left arm around you if you're a guy and that right arm around you if you're a girl or whichever you pick, or do both and give yourself a right tight squeeze and a pat on the back. You all deserve it.
