Throw those women in jail if they get an abortion

Anytime during the pregnancy --


A Republican lawmaker in Texas who proposed a bill that would criminalize abortion said the policy would force women to be “more personally responsible” for their sexual behavior.

“Right now, it’s real easy,” State Rep. Tony Tinderholt (R) told the Texas Observer. “Right now, they don’t make it important to be personally responsible because they know that they have a backup of ‘oh, I can just go get an abortion.’ Now, we both know that consenting adults don’t always think smartly sometimes. But consenting adults need to also consider the repercussions of the sexual relationship that they’re gonna have, which is a child.”

NOTE:
"But consenting adults need to also consider the repercussions of the sexual relationship that they’re gonna have, which is a child.”

Where's the language to throw the guy in jail? Knuckle-dragging asshole pandering to the other knuckle-dragging assholes.

Fortunately this so-called bill has no chance of going anywhere .

Never forget that other women are going along with these laws, and you should be putting the spotlight on them, as well!!!!

4. The anti-abortion stance has always largely been about controlling womens sexual behavior...

You have to be pretty willfully ignorant to believe otherwise.

The best way to lower abortion rates has always been real education and access to various forms of birth control. Almost always a "pro-lifer" will oppose those too.

9. The oppressed white males creating this law appear to remove all responsibility

The oppressed white males creating this law appear to remove all responsibility and consequence of having sex from the oppressed males involved, placing all responsibility with the woman.

Would never have thought these old, white guys in positions of authority would ever do that.
