People said we were being alarmist when we said extremist Christian nationalists would use the abortion laws to target women trying to escape Texas to receive an abortion.
1793 - It is illegal to use these roads to help someone's human property leave their possession by escaping to a slavery free state
2023 - It is illegal to use these roads to help a woman escape forced birth when she is carrying a fetus she would not choose to carry to term.
If you can make it illegal to leave a US state to do something which is legal in another state, then there is no country worth speaking of--just be a Confederacy of feudal states.
Extremely worrying, I can't believe things are going this far. What is going on in the US... next will be the same for people trying to get gender affirming care out of state.
& you sure as hell dont see all these govt peeps & prolife people stepping up & offering to adopt all these children. "oh no, no abortion, oh but I cant take them in & for them, so I guess we'll just put them all in orphanages and/or moms n babies out on the street with or without welfare" 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is not about children. It's about white Christian males with fertility fetishes who believe the proper place for a woman of ANY age is on her back with her legs spread and her face covered in bruises and tears.
Did that sound brutal? Repulsive? Horrific? IT SHOULD.
Im sure theres still plenty of those type around. Maybe they should be deported to Afghanistan, it's returned to that practically. Sad it's still tryna be put back into law, so to speak, or the thought, etc.
Bigotry and religious conquest know no country. It's not American, Afghan or Russian. It's a human thing, wherever humans are found. It just so happens to be America's turn. Deportation or exile isn't the answer, even rhetorically.
We didn't deport Nazis. We crushed them right where we found them.
P.S. They said they were going to do this and we believed them. There is now a nice hosted camping trip for those who need to camp outside TX. The problem is hooking people up who need it. It's not a camping trip we need police escort for.
I worked for 8 years in a clinic. We had to add an extra day to our schedule for our protestors and their families, clergy, etc. Our alpha-protestor (grim reaper costume) married the doctor.
ALL my friends who found me when FB started, reminded me that was the last place they saw me. Repgs.all!
I can see the family announcements now
A quick note to everyone. My wife Kelli is pregnant. She is 7 wks along. She is due around mid Feb. Visiting hours are from 12 till 4: Mondays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at the Yellow Rose Maximum Security Women's Healthcare Center. Gift donations are okay
But even this stacked SCotUS hasn't ignored the basic Bill of Rights. Interpreted it to the Nth degree maybe, but not ignored it. These travel restrictions trample on basic rights, not just abortion-related laws.
Nah. Some I know where folk who still want to justify voting Republican for whatever reason but have deluded themselves about what the national party is actually doing
Yeah i also think that a lot of those people see the other party as spineless and unable to accomplish anything long lasting ao they continue on hoping things will turn around.
They’ve also internalized the idea that the GOP stand up for, say, rural communities that the dems don’t care about, even though that’s objectively false, so they don’t see it as a better choice for their interests so they don’t want to acknowledge how bad the party has gotten on the national level
Hemming in women
"Antiabortion advocates behind the measure are targeting regions along interstates and in areas with airports, with the goal of blocking off the main arteries out of Texas and keeping pregnant women hemmed within the confines of their state."

“The purpose of these laws is not to meaningfully enforce them,” said Neesha Davé, executive director of the Lilith Fund, an abortion fund based in Texas. “It’s the fear that’s the point. It’s the confusion that’s the point.”
