Texas GOPers Threaten Law Firm For Funding Employees’ Abortion Travel

I worked for Beto last time, against Cruz, and I think he’s got a much better shot at Abbott. Especially since Abbott is such a corrupt, pandering, incompetent shithead–and Beto knows how to use that against him.

Same here. Consider that years ago, some states gave Pharmacists the ability to not dispense meds based on their personal beliefs. Couple that with GOPers who believe that 1) life begins at conception and 2) anything that prevents implantation is an abortifacient and should be illegal and banning BC is a possibly. Pharmacists in some states are already using their power to limit dispensing of birth control.

That’s what they said about overturning Roe v Wade…

That is very definitely not what “they” said about Roe. Absolutely everyone knew Roe was doomed as soon as Justice Handmaid’s Tale was confirmed. The only question was whether the Fascist Five would go along with Roberts’ piecemeal approach to dismantling it or just go full-on Leeroy Jenkins on it.

That would really piss me off. Neguse is fabulous. However, I got moved out of Lamborn into a district that is purple but likely to go Democratic.

In California the GOP insisted on nonpartisan redistricting and jungle primaries. That pretty much wiped them out here and now we have the fifth largest economy on earth and a $97 billion dollar surplus. And a Democratic supermajority in both Houses. HA!

You lawyers. Every time something happens you go well the next thing won’t happen. Then it does. Face it, your entire life up to this point has been invalidated. You ain’t no smarter than the rest of us,

That must be a great burden for you.

Operative word there is AFTER. Prior to her and Kavanaugh, there were plenty of people thinking this was business as usual.

Also too if you do not step up and donate a kidney and someone who needs a kidney dies because you didn’t donate a kidney, you’re a murderer also too

Sure hope so.

Former Californian here with many family members still there. What concerns me is that you could end up with two nutty Republicans with the current primary system. As I understand it.

Posted a bit about this elsewhere but it was a very interesting explanation from a rabbi who said “you are not alive after you take your last breath nor are you alive before you take your first breath.” The Jewish faith has never beleived that a fetus is a person so wondering what will happen when court cases start getting filed if a Jewish woman dies from not getting an abortion if one is called for as the only medical treatment (such as ectopic pregnancies). Will the SC actually say the Jewish faith isn’t real, only Christianity?
