Ladies and gentlemen: I give you the party of “small governemt”… who apparently feel we’re all so incapable of managing our affairs that we need a court appointed magistrate to weigh in on if we should get life-saving medical care… (* golfclap *)
Government small enough to fit in a woman’s uterus.
The answer to this is people can’t move because they’re tied to their fucking job living paycheck to paycheck.
How can you move out when you have a mortgage and you need to sell your house to move? What about your family? Does anyone realize how difficult it is to move your entire family somewhere else?
A real states rights person would support an initiative where every ten years there’s a jubilee where you can get reimbursed to move to a better state. That would finally start to allow the “vote with your feet” thing to give the “laboratories of democracy” the feedback they need.
That means it’s impossible.
The fun part about these cases challenging abortion is, if the courts delay them long enough they can dismiss them for lack of standing.
The cruelty is the point.
I can’t fathom how my relatives under 50 still remain in texas.
They basically hate women, and want to push vindictive bullshit - even if this woman is afforded agency over her own body, Paxton has said he’ll sue the docs nurses and medical center.
They took books about slavery out of the plantation gift shop. https://lemm.ee/post/17334830
I remember Ann Richards, what the fuck, Texas… what the actual fuck.
Gerrymandering is cool, aint it?
If people who disagree with the Republicans always leave, then the Republicans will be unopposed and will always win. This is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
Children growing up in Texas can see first-hand the intentional cruelty of the ruling party, and I believe that is why the GOP will eventually lose, and their only chance for the near future is unlawfully seizing power.
In a vacuum you’re not wrong, but the real-world implication is that you’re asking parents to willingly subject their children to the cruelty of the GOP to maybe have a chance of changing it in the future.
Do children have to be in a school shooting to know that they shouldn’t happen? Do they have to see their classmate forced to carry their rapist’s baby to know that abortion should be allowed in at least some circumstances? Do they have to freeze with no power to learn that a privatized power grid will always prioritize its profits over their health?

I’m suggesting that the comment that you replied to, insulted, and quoted in your previous comment did not say what you think it said. Yes, even though it wasn’t my comment.

sorry ain’t sticking around in shittsville so I can help Ted Cruz get reelected again, not my fucking hobby eh?
you do you.
Never underestimate the cruelty, misogyny, arrogance, of the GOP.
running out the clock, denying this woman justice and forcing her to suffer just for suffering’s sake. remember this in november. they’ll try to pretend they’ve softened their position, they’ll talk about reasonable exceptions, they’ll pretend they’re just here to defend a little life but at the end of the day the republican party platform is to identify people they consider substandard and cause them as much pain and suffering a possible. it’s the common thread behind everything they try to do.

Nah, they dropped that line a while back. Their current mantra is screw you I got mine.
They’ve been busy doubling down lately. Pretty sure their latest slogan is Under His Eye.
“but mama under whose eye?”
“Never you mind that Jimmy, now eat your oatmeal and finish cleaning your sidearm, we got to go to the mall today”
What a reasonable government you have over there on the other side of the Atlantic.

Another stunning example of personal freedom from The Greatest Country on Earth (Trade mark. Not to be used in comparison to any other nation)
I would love to know her voting history.
I just want to know how Sue’s gonna vote now. If she’s changed, it better be for the better.
Shit states gonna shit state.
