Women will RISE UP all over this country and fight back.

1. Most women.

The driving force behind these "heartbeat" anti-abortion bills is Janet Porter.

That's right, JANET.

She's a fundy anti-abortion zealot who won't be satisfied until the entire US is mandatory fundy "christian."

[vanlassie]

3. So it's LYDIA Janet Porter? We should all curse her with unremitting yeast infections.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. They are the WORST kind of Republican

Because they are RULED by their husband's or significant others. That is spousal abuse of a more devious kind.

[TimeToGo]

6. Not necessarily

Some are true believers on their own. Some even lead their husbands down this road. We make a mistake as if we act as if it is strictly woman vs man. It is that in lots of ways, but it is also this fascistic dark theology that is an outgrowth of fundamentalist evangelicalism. (Though Catholicism is kind of its own thing here) And that is, unfortunately, the lifeblood of the antiabortion movement and it is the driving force among many women not just men.

10. This is true...

I was just having a conversation with a friend about this yesterday, sort of. We both had mothers who had been raised Catholic and administered the very same kind of abuse to their children, especially the females. Seems there was at least one recent generation where that was so.

There are, though, women who are cheering this war on women on and aid in the abuse. I tend to equate them with that Maxwell woman and the mother of Cybil.

21. True. My sister is one of them. Also, Amy Coney Barrett is obviously one who gets off

on being mother superior.

11. I lived in TEXAS & that is a totally wrong statement !

ABBOTT JUST PISSED IN HIS CORN FLAKES ! JUST WATCH & GET THE POPCORN !!

[DownriverDem]

5. Sadly the majority

of white women vote repub. Will this make a difference?

[wnylib]

9. Do you think that Democratic

women of color will not be part of women's fight against anti choice legislation?

[BComplex]

22. Where I live in NC, most of the Black women I know are against abortion.

Baptist or evangelical. Very southern conservative about some things.

[Demsrule86]

23. A very small majority of white women voted GOP and yes this will make a big difference IMHO.

Women in the burbs helped defeat Trump in 20.

17. DO. NOT. FORGET. ....... XENA WARRIOR PRINCESS !!!!!!!!!

26. I don't know if it's true in this case

but I know of many women who find Taliban-Jesus after aborting their own fetus so they try to make amends by taking the choice they made away from others.

2. How about the Bette Midler suggestion?

Lock off your parts ladies

[Cozmo]

13. Remember Lysistrata? It worked!

[malaise]

15. History is on our side

[TimeToGo]

16. Again

This assumes that the women connected to this are not believers. I'm sure there are some women on our side who ended up married to the fascists and such a thing might work there -- but many of them agree, support, and even lead the men in this. Lots of political republicans don't really care that much about abortion, but they use it for political power. And some men surely do it because they believe they should control women. But that's not all of them by a big measure.

[ancianita]

7. Like Obama says, just don't take a knife to a gun fight. Nice pics.

[Sneederbunk]

8. For starters, Texas women voters could fight back.

Vote the Rethugs out.

[AlexSFCA]

12. What is a recent polling on % men/women against woman's choice?

More men or women oppose the right to choose?

[monkeyman1]

14. a hell of a lot of republican's won't be getting laid for a long time !

[DFW]

19. I think they're already there

It’s why they are always in such an angry mood.

[Deuxcents]

18. It's just not Texas

Lessons learned in Texas will be tweeked n improved with each roadblock they give us .. more will be empowered n I believe the men of conscience will join in. I see a good fight n I’ll do my part. Has been many years but the passion is still alive with this . We’re 51% of the population and have nothing to lose.. good odds.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

20. RBG must be rolling in her grave about now.

All her life, she championed causes to improve the lives of women. More so when it came to choice. Even she knew not all women were cut out to be mothers. She knew that women were the ones best to decide things going forward. Her legacy is intact.

Roe v. Wade is skating on thin ice. The Conservatives on the US Supreme Court have to know popular opinion to overturn Roe is not on their side. The Constitutional right of women to decide their fates hangs in the balance of 5 men and one woman. They overturn Roe, THIS is what they will be remembered for. Their legacies will have asterisks attached to them when it relates to the Constitutional Rights of Women.

As Winston Churchill once said about a Nation at war..."Never give up." We must never give up either. The Genie has been out of the bottle for almost 50 years. She ain't going back willingly without a fight.

[Demsrule86]

24. I am sure she is...but had she retired in the early Obama years, we would not be here.

This was a 5/4 decision. She was a great justice no doubt.

[MurrayDelph]

27. Yeah, we would.

Do you think Mitch McConnell would have felt any more guilt over holding up two nominations than he did over the one?

[Demsrule86]

29. It was a 5/4 decision and before 14 we held the senate. We would have replaced her

With an Obama pick.

[CTyankee]

25. Do you think she would have foreseen bounty hunters in this?

I'd like to think she would be in a spitting rage at first, then calmly working it through her wonderful brain and had a scalding argument. May her spirit live on!

I have skin in the game with my 3 granddaughters. I will fight for THEM!

28. RAISE HELL WITH SAMSUNG---IMMEDIATELY!

Austin and Taylor TX are two leading contenders for the site of a huge new Samsung microchip facility: $17 billion, 1000 acres, 1800 jobs. Abbott's new vigilante act should remove any place in Texas from consideration. Let Samsung hear from you!
