Texas abortion law is just like Salem witch hunts.

[leftyladyfrommo]

They have gone 200 years backwards.

I am really having trouble getting my head around this.

[2naSalit]

1. I am truly thankful for two things...

That I am beyond child bearing age and that I don't live in Texas. I don't even like going there and avoid buying stuff from there whenever possible.

[leftyladyfrommo]

2. Me, too.

I am waiting for the backslash from the big cities.

[2naSalit]

3. It will be interesting to see...

How this shakes out in the coming couple years.

[MiHale]

4. Had to happen...

With the death rate peaking in part because of no vaccines and no masks Texas authorities concluded forcing women to have babies would restore the population.

Next up… Forced Conception.

5. If you don't want kids don't have sex. It's simple. nt

[CrackityJones75]

7. Uhhh.... What?

I hope you forgot the sarcasm empji.

6. Mass exodus from Texas Taliban territory.

8. It's not about abortion, it is about power, control, humiliating and bullying women.

Most of the GOP leadership would send their girlfriends or daughters to get an abortion in a nanosecond and not think anything of it.

It is a just a war game to the GOP, they grab an issue and take it to the extreme as part of their attempt to gain total control over the country. They also want fame, status, power, wealth. And never to have any consequences for their criminal actions.

9. Not so sure

The RWNJ's are obsessed with white replacement. I would expect that they would pass new laws weakening child support since they won't want to pay for the bastards they sire.

[Irish_Dem]

12. Interesting. So racists want to force white women to have more children?

But an abortion ban would also mean more non white children will be born.
I don't think the math works out in the GOP favor.

[TheRealNorth]

18. They will telll you that the non-whites are having children (and not abortions) to collect welfare

They would force sterilization on welfare recipients if they could.

[Hortensis]

10. This. Restoring male dominion over women and old-fashioned conservative

religion and social structures are far, far stronger motivators for most, men and women, than saving babies.

Some really are genuinely horrified by and passionately opposed to abortion.

But most anti-abortionists only imagine they are, transient sorrow when thoughts of lives that won't be lived intrude no stronger than most pro-abortionists'. Insight and self honesty aren't exactly strong points for most of these, though, and they'll die without realizing it was mostly just a label, a group identity.

Their own spread of the virus has been killing many thousands of unborn babies who were either miscarried or died with their mothers, and...crickets. Their leaders haven't told them they're supposed to care.

[Irish_Dem]

15. Their passionate opposition to abortion falls apart as they willingly put their own children at risk

Their concern for children is inconsistent at best or dishonest.
Not too many ways to slice it, they don't look good.

Yes honesty and self- awareness are not present in this group.
Many have just been duped into GOP talking points.
The GOP loves division and riling up the ranks for the sake of political power.

[Hortensis]

17. They look like what they are: the same kind who became fervent Nazis.

The kind who, with the ruthless leaders they now insist on, are very genuinely dangerous to everyone, including themselves and their own.

[LisaL]

11. That what happens when republicans are in power.

They are supposedly so worried about the unborn. Yet they want to send kids to school with no masks.

[DFW]

13. The Texas Republicans are taking a page from the East Germans

The "Real Existing Socialism" set up a large network of "Inoffizielle Mitarbeiter," or "unofficial collaborators," whose job it was to spy on, and report on people they were close to, whether work-related, or family members, or just close friends designated by the Staatssicherheit (Secret Police) as worth keeping an eye on. Always willing to learn from Stalin, the Republican Party has worked out a system similar to the East German methods for monitoring, and, if necessary, terrorizing citizens who don't fall into line of their own free will.

If you listen closely, you can hear the faint shouting of George Orwell: "no, no, you idiots, that's what the BAD guys were doing!"

[tenderfoot]

14. It's SHARIA Law is what it is nt

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes it is pure sharia, and communist china.

The GOP is taking us to ruthless anti female authoritarian power.
