1. The Texas Taliban has gone full on Handmaids Tale.

20. If I had the right software...

I would photoshop an image of the Texas state flag to replace the "lone star" with a handmaid's bonnnet.

This is the Texas state flag:



Here's the bonnet:



If someone with the necessary software and skills wants to do this and share it here, be my guest!

2. K & R...good graphic...nt

[Pantagruel]

3. Perfect!

Spread it around.

4. would they want to go?

A minority of Texans don't like this, but as a state, they voted for the people who voted for it and signed it into law.

8. I'm a third generation Texan and nobody in my family would set foot in that state.

All are happily ensconced in NY, MA and CA. So as far as my Texas heritage goes, it stops with ME...

11. Nah, total abortion ban is a minority opinion even in Texas right now

As you may have seen, Texas isn’t friendly to voters, and now made even worse. That’s before we even get into disproportionate representation of rural over urban, see prison gerrymandering for one such method.

This is a law by and for extremists who used the amplified electrical signal from the thickened end of a yolk sac to redefine babies, heartbeat, and beginning of life.

18. I see

Extremists rabid enough to make legislators think they have a following big enough to influence them.

[Mersky]

24. The zealots' machine has been building for years

Redistricting has culminated to this point, and tRump disreality show became their cover to do worse.

On the pretext of 1/6, the GQPtx ruled these sessions as if the only Texans that matter are the crazed bloc in the republican primary.

[Colgate 64]

5. We should have started years ago nt

7. We cannot let this be normalized.

There needs to be continued and fever pitch rejection.

[leftieNanner]

9. Unfortunately

I think other Republican controlled states have made a Xerox copy of the Texas law and will be passing it post haste.

This won't end with the Lone Star State.

[Ford_Prefect]

13. Montana will be next I suspect. Gov. Gianforte has ambitions of higher office.

As do his acolytes in the legislature. They believe women should be silent, subservient, and pregnant.

[Mad_Machine76]

10. Just for inclusiveness sake

don't forget the men in the state with uteruses

[WhiskeyGrinder]

21. .

12. Interestingly, the Taliban was welcomed to Texas a few years before 9/11 and the US occupation.

A senior delegation from the Taleban movement in Afghanistan is in the United States for talks with an international energy company that wants to construct a gas pipeline from Turkmenistan across Afghanistan to Pakistan.

A spokesman for the company, Unocal, said the Taleban were expected to spend several days at the company's headquarters in Sugarland, Texas.

It has commissioned the University of Nebraska to teach Afghan men the technical skills needed for pipeline construction. Nearly 140 people were enrolled last month in Kandahar and Unocal also plans to hold training courses for women in administrative skills.

Although the Taleban authorities only allow women to work in the health sector, organisers of the training say they haven't so far raised any objections.[link:http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/west_asia/37021.stm|

14. From now on Texas will not be the Lone Star State, it will now be called the Coat Hanger State nt

[PeaceWave]

15. In Texas, will ambulance chasers morph into abortion chasers?

Will you have commercials on TV with some two bit lawyer in a bad suit saying "If you know or suspect that your neighbor or co-worker has violated your right to prevent them from having an abortion, call this number..." Seriously, this is dynamite in the hands of an already majority wingnut Texas population.

16. Seriously isn't it time?

#ExpelTexas then let's do Florida. Hell these fucks want to succeed anyway let's do it for them.

[roamer65]

17. Actually it would be best for New England and states like MI, MN, WI, WA, etc, etc to secede.

Given a good chunk of the south will be underwater in 50 years or so, secession and political union with Canada would be a smart idea.

Establishment of a hard border to keep climate migration under control.

[ancianita]

19. When do liberals of TX file charge against every wife of every Republican official on suspicion of

aiding and abetting an abortionist, is the question.

Then see who pays up those defendants' $10,000 costs.

If I got the details wrong, don't niggle or attack, just get the spirit of the point.

That cartoon? Really? The character problem is symbolically laid on women?

[Hekate]

22. They have oil. Clearly it's time for an invasion...

[Traildogbob]

23. Cue

A wave of new GQP voting restrictions on women. They took out people of color, poor people and next women, pissed off about Texas abortion ban. Soon the only votes that count will be white men, as planned. And if any white man votes against them, they have control to trash that vote. Taliban, ISIS, Saudis, get your Burkas ladies. How are Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders gonna sell, in burkas? How will MAGA’s get a glimpse up blonde bubble headed TV women on the couch at Fox in burkas every morning? Fuck Texas. Give it to Mexican drug cartel. The fence washed away. Tell em they can have it. Enslave the whities there. They out gun the Texas bubba’s and could take it in a second. They walk the walk when they talk about blood baths, not like Walmart outfitted military bubba’s in Texas. Think of the tax money we save not bailing out Texas.

25. That toon says it all. K&R
