    OK, that one got me. Texas is just such a shit state that I didn’t even question the headline. It wasn’t until I clicked so see what dumbass excuse they used that I realized it was The Onion. 🤣

      They just have to ask them to punch them in the stomach and kick them down the stairs. Way easier.

        Don’t you just get that with all small town Texan men?

        They just have to hold off the gut punches for 9 months when they know they are getting a son.

      Same here. It wasn’t until I went to click in to try and figure out whether it was a clickbait title, or just Texas being Texas, that I noticed.

    The best Onion headlines are the ones I see and slowly inhale instead of laughing.

    Maybe “most accurate” is more apropros than “best.”

    I was wait, what? before I saw the source. But I would not put it past the GOP to actually do this.

      Don’t worry, I’m sure the Republicans will step in to make sure that only people, not corporations, can be punished under that law
