The case of Kate Cox, the 31-year-old mother of two in Texas who sued to end a nonviable pregnancy heaped with health risks to herself, has attracted nationwide horror for its sheer brutality.
There is a belief in the Muslim world that a man will lead Israel to doom, and the ascendancy of the Muslim peoples, and in the story he has a whacky eye just like this ambulatory poison pill.
I say this with all due respect, which is absolutely none: Texas, go fuck yourself.
If the GOP thinks this kind of crap is going to help them in the next election they are mistaken.
“People speak sometimes about the “bestial” cruelty of man, but that is terribly unjust and offensive to beasts, no animal could ever be so cruel as a man, so artfully, so artistically cruel.”
― Fyodor Dostoyevsky
I don’t condone violence or wish harm on anyone but Paxton has a very punchable face.
That may be, but I recommend aiming lower 
Maybe cats.
Cox could be seriously sickened and left unable to have more children in the future.
Denying the right to life for other unborn children? Very unfair.
The people that would be offended by these kind of things don’t vote Republican anyway. And then there is the Team Red voters, that apparently get upset by these kinds of things, but like Trump’s BS, they just hope for the best and vote Republican like always. What they are doing is throwing red meat to the Evangelicals, they need the culture war burning or they might not show up to vote.
It doesn’t seem very pro-life when the mother of two children and a husband could die because the unborn shall be protected absolutely nearly without exception. Sad. Will never live in TX!
And next, the closure of maternity services and shortages of OG/GYN’s in Texas.
And if you need those things, call the office of Ken Paxton to schedule an appointment.
White Protestant Christianity at its worst.
The Texas GOP believes (perhaps, per @txlawyer, somewhat delusionally) that they have the State sewn up for the millennium and nothing will erode their power in the State.
I honestly and truly hope the Texas Dems and Republican women (yeah, that latter one is a stretch) send a clear message to Austin in 2024 that this crap won’t stand.
I’m waiting for them to start playing games with widely available contraception.
I wonder if any anti-abortion supporters in Texas see this going on, look in the mirror and think “We’re monsters.”
No.
How do you account for recent votes in Ohio and Kansas, then? Those states certainly have majority conservative voter pools but they both recently passed statewide protections for abortion. This is the kind of issue (when you cast it as invading a person’s autonomy to make private health decisions) that cuts across party ideologies (at least for a decent percentage of marginal cases on the right).
These are the kinds of things that lead to health care providers (and not just in the maternal fetal medicine space) to consider relocating. Plenty of anecdotal data in press coverage that this has started to affect availability of women’s health in Idaho.
That’s not going to happen.
