Republicans Debate Executing Women Over Abortion

Fort Worth Star-Telegram: “Should Texas punish abortions by putting teenage girls and women to death? Or not?”

“That’s the current debate in the Republican Party of Texas, where outlawing abortion is no longer a question of ‘if’ or ‘when’ but a question of whether to kill women for getting one.”

"Some other runoffs statewide match faith-and-values candidates who both want Texas governed by the Bible. They just can’t agree on whether to use the Old or New Testament."

It's obvious they have never read it. Or at least never read the parts about loving thy neighbor, feeding the hungry, welcoming the visitor, and healing the sick.

Then add in surgical procedures like Tubal ligations and Vasectomies as well as being ILLEGAL. Can't have those married folks NOT having oodles of kids.

How about the women who miscarry through NO FAULT of their own?

Welcome to Gilead, women of Texas. Those of you who still vote Republican, SHAME on you!

If one believes abortion is murder, the conclusion is inescapable that a woman who procures an abortion has hired a killer, and the gang boss who contracts to a hit man is just as guilty of murder as the fella pulled the trigger. And of course a woman employing an abortifacient murders directly.

The mask will come off more and more frequently as the echo-chamber these people construct around themselves leaves them more and more assured they possess unassailable political power, and don't need votes anymore.
