Every Republican controlled state will enact a copy cat law.

The "Pro Life" terrorists will be out on the prowl.

This is beyond horrifying.

that the only difference between Sharia Law and Fundamentalist Christian Values is the name they use for the god whose teachings they pretend to follow.

But he did try to teach human values, which conservative "christians" conveniently ignore when they conflict with rightwing ideology.

7. To all the "pro-choice" Women who voted GOP

Are you happy now? Maybe you're happy because....

1 - Some GOP/Christian preacher convinced your weak little mind that Sky Daddy will grant favor upon you, and save you from the pits of Hell.

2 - You're some type of masochist/sadistic psychopath, who masturbates at the thought of other women becoming sterile or dying from back alley abortions...or psychological trauma by being forced to bring a rape/incest baby to term.

3 - You're a selfish, bitter or callous little narcissist, with bad energy and a heart of coal.

And for all you GOP voting LGBTQ and other minority groups - once the GOP has completely outlawed abortion - they're coming for your ass next. And they'll get it too, because the precedent is now set - you no longer legally own or control your own body.

8. authoritarianism is sometimes measure with the "Uncertainty Avoidance Index" or UAI

professor glenn wilson in 1974 wrote that authoritarians are motivated primarily by fear of uncertainty.

sex on the wrong brain theory suggests authoritarianism, misogyny, racism, intolerance, and may other human characteristics often called "human nature" are actually many of the complications resulting from trying to satisfy sex 'energy' which is hijacked to the left/wrong side of the brain (for sex) and that it is a heritable mostly old world masturbation problem that causes greed and the Certainty Deficit Disorder

and it so happens that the koran mandates right handed masturbation - "man can only have sex with his wife (if he can afford one) or that which his right hand possesses" while the bible leaves out the secret of authoritarian power and just represses sex so wew can't even have a discussion about whether right handed masturbation might contribute to authoritarianism, etc

We'll have to invade our own country in order to restore democracy.
I figure Texas and Florida will be first.
