Related: About this forumHis answer too was a straw man fallacy. He didn't address the question about rape and incest, only saying that rapists will be eliminated. He failed to follow up on what happens to the pregnant female, which without comment means, she has to carry it to term. That's the way I interpreted his slippery answer.

Perhaps Abbott should have the State of Texas run a battery of tests on all males over the age of 10, for their proclivity toward becoming a rapist. That would identify them at an early age so that their civil liberties would be violated before they could violate any female of the species.
It's only fair, after all.

He really meant "I'm going after Democratic rapists, since TFG wasn't a target.

Im no psychologist, but I cant help thinking this: hes confined to a wheelchair. That automatically renders him needy of help, and unable to take full and independent care of himself. He may not even be able to get up and go to the bathroom without help. Sexually, I dont know how much of that particular function is impaired. But I bet he fights the feeling of helplessness, lifelong dependence, and infirmity, internally, all the time.
And Ill bet he FUCKING HATES that! In his wheelchair, he cant even look somebody straight in the face - if the other person isnt seated (ie: lower down, at his level). Theres the power and power-of-masculinity thing and hes got a very visible impairment. And he probably,deep-down, hates anybody and anything that reminds him of his impairment. So I suspect theres a fair amount of self-hatred in there. Its just a suspicion on my part.
The only relief, for someone like him who lusts for (and has electorally attained) power, is to assert domination of others around him. Bring all those around him down, effectively UNDER him. So HE is the Alpha ANYWAY, despite the wheelchair. He can defy his frustration over his own sense of helplessness that way.
And who is easiest to dominate? Societally, its the poor, needy, disadvantaged, who cant afford the help and care they need. A majority of that group are women, many of them single. Single heads-of-households, forced to get by without help (because jerks like him dont want to spend the money helping people like them). And personally, the women in his own individual sphere. Dominate THEM, TOO. But thats easier because it doesnt involve public policy and all the noise and attention that comes with it, and its conveniently behind your own closed doors.
Hes the absolute lowest of the low. When his circumstances would otherwise enable him to be more compassionate. After all, he above all should be able to sympathize AND EMPATHIZE with the misfortune and disability and sense of extreme difficulty and encumbrance of others. And he clearly does not.

(8,731 posts)That Texas has a backlog of over 6,000 rape kits not yet processed under his watch and he was AG before Gov. But, rape and incest, no problem, he can eliminate both, more guns.
Wondering, if you shoot the fetus with your God Given Gun, would that be legal and acceptable.

(19,199 posts)He'd have to appoint more bounty hunters to hunt down the gunmen who shot these unprotected fetuses.
Abbott just opened a huge can of worms 🪱 in Texas. Pretty soon everyone will be ratting out everyone else for one type of bounty or another.

Texas State Troopers must be trained to detect and arrest the rapists, before they even get a chance to commit the rape!
I think Governor Abbott must be channeling Tom Cruise from the Minority Report movie, or he's on the crack pipe.

So, to find rapists a guy must commit rape, and then they catch him...Does Abbot think rapists smell different, walk different, talk different or do things in the spotlight that would make them easily recognizable? What a F^*&^ moron...did I say that already?
assholes together. Sorry for profanity.
