The conservative movement is about enslaving women.  Always has been.

Damn right.

Let me add.

1. Anyone who voted for Reagan (GOP union with Falwell, Evangelicals, explicit calls for ending abortion), Bush 1 (Thomas), Bush 2 (Roberts, Alito) has enabled the rise and legalization of this violent Christian theocracy. Been building for decades, long before Trump showed up.

2. The violence toward women has only begun. It is another layer of the “ultraviolence” (from A Clockwork Orange) in their gun policies, anti-vaxx stance, Jan 6 insurrection, and so on. Random violence and random death is the goal. The more random, unjust, illogical, and insane the coercion and violence, the easier for MAGA-GQP to terrify women and install the theocracy.  

All the Surly conservatives who loved Reagan and the Bushes. You helped enable this terror against women. Just f*cking own it.

No. Fuck off with that. Not every abortion is about trauma and tragedy and using that framing plays into the christofascist’s hands. Women are humans. Humans have bodily autonomy. Ergo, women have b

I do love this argument. I really do. It’s as convenient a way to label yourself a drooling moron as exists, outside of towing around a giant neon “I’M A MORON” sign. No, they didn’t teach us that

Texas Taliban in full effect.

Texas towns try to close roads to abortion-seekers

From the article

Quote

Yet, as is the case with Mayor Stanley, not everyone in the anti-abortion camp supports the measure.

"Nobody likes to see people have abortions," says James, a retiree wearing a white Trump hat. But when you're actually putting in an ordinance that is not enforceable and it makes people turn against each other... that's a big no."

It’s also a good way to drive people to the polls, who otherwise might not vote.  And it advertises to the world that your city is full of fascist assholes who want to control the travel of American citizens, which is a great selling point for tourism.

… your city is full of fascist and misogynous Christians who want to control the travel for American women, which is a great selling point for theocracy  — which 45% of America wants and is building. 

Hell, seeing young women stopped, harassed, and arrested by police might be a boon for low budget Christian tourism to shit cities like Amarillo.

What if you're just driving to Sante Fe with your wife who happens to be pregnant, to visit friends?  
What if you're from New Mexico but get pregnant in Texas? Can you take the fetus back to New Mexico for an abortion?images (5).jpg

I following some of the Instagram accounts for McCallum HS (my kid's school).  One account posts all the kids attending college and their intended major.  Easily 50% of the girls posted are headed out of state.  Holy shit, if that's the general trend statewide.  Good luck with those demographics, you future Texan incels.

Thread title needs to be changed, and for obvious reasons. This has never been just about abortion. It’s always been about reproductive rights in general.

It’s comfortable, I suppose, to think of it as “well the right has evolved but abortion is still a red line…” but no, it’s not. The right is still the same shameless, hypocritical, morally bankrupt, intellectually primitive, superstitious and irrational lot that it’s always been. 

Since this thread was started, states have moved to ban IVF, to defund (or essentially defund) Planned Parenthood even though they’d already banned the A-word two years previous, the Republicans in the US Senate blocked a bill that would guarantee access to contraceptives as a protected right, a sitting Supreme Court Justice wrote in an (absolutely ghoulishly and piss-poorly argued) opinion that he wants to overturn the prohibitions on sodomy laws, etc.

This is plainly not about abortion. It never really was. It’s about sex and reproductive freedom, argued abysmally by puritanical religious assholes who view sex as exclusively a husband’s privilege/wife’s obligation, to be performed in missionary position and for the explicit purpose of producing offspring. They’re lying through their teeth when they tell you otherwise, and you’d be a fool to believe them.

The joke was “how do you circumcise a southern Baptist?” The punchline is “kick his sister in the jaw.”

vox (i'll admit left leaning) ran an article that GOP wants to make divorce harder and while Vox is not sympathetic to the GOP there were quotes and referenced bills in several states and in the Congress. the-fucking-ocracy is right. holy shit balls.

I don' understand why Republicans are so concerned about the rare abortion of viable late term fetuses yet they have no concern about the rare murders of innocent civilians with AR-15 rifles and the like.

Probably the same reason they are so adamantly concerned not with climate change, but that a transition to a handful of outboard motors being replaced with batteries only to see the boaters eaten by sharks.  You know, that thing that happens all the time and is way more dangerous than drowning.

Pure unadulterated sixthgraderism must be give some space.  We had no idea of any specifics of a gay world.  And, there’s still a lot of Eagle Scouts around.

Ask a pro-lifer if they want to raise taxes to be sure every child has enough food.

It’s pro-birth, not pro-life.

They don’t care. That baby had a heart beat and could be baptized into their gods heaven or whatever their cult bullshit states. Dead babies meant they lived and were saved from abortion. They do not give a shit about the pain to the parents or anyone else involved.

Wait until SCOTUS rules that signatures are no longer considered a legal endorsement due to new interpretations of historical documents.

Texas just hands money to anti-abortion groups with little oversight:

Quote

In some cases, taxpayers are paying these groups to distribute goods they obtained for free, allowing anti-abortion centers — which are often called “crisis pregnancy centers” and may be set up to look like clinics that perform abortions — to bill $14 to hand out a couple of donated diapers.

 

Distributing a single pamphlet can net the same $14 fee. The state has paid the charities millions to distribute such “educational materials” about topics including parenting and adoption; it can’t say exactly how many millions because it doesn’t collect data on the goods it’s paying for. State officials declined to provide examples of the materials by publication time, and reporters who visited pregnancy centers were turned away.

US abortion numbers have risen slightly since Roe was overturned, study finds.

The number of women getting abortions in the U.S. actually went up in the first three months of 2024 compared with before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, a report released Wednesday found, reflecting the lengths that Democratic-controlled states went to expand access.

How does Texas go about getting abortion rights on the ballot, like other states?

The language gets muddied because we frequently refer to numbered ballot propositions leading up to elections.  But it’s really just a short-handed system to track proposed creation, modification, or elimination of certain constitutional elements.  And even then, it the Leg would have to vote to codify most of them. And after that, our state SC can really go to work on them if they don’t like what we had to say.  
 

To your question, we do not have a direct ‘proposition’ mechanism like most other civilized states.  Unless, it’s a constitutional question, we can’t gather signatures to put on the ballot: “Prop 3 to overturn Abbott restrictions on abortion” or “Prop 7 to allow for legalized gambling and marijuana consumption” nor “Prop 12 to require any AG to disclose any conflict of interest including real estate deals.”

It would have been wild to see what would have happened if vouchers were put straight to the rural/exurban Texas who knew the score, coming together with urban voters.  But like most voters things here, we gotta do it the fucking hard, corrupt way.
