Apparently, Mom jeans aren't good jeans.

Apparently Texas men absolutely do not care if their women die or their children are born deformed and defective.

It would be nice if the Lord Jesus came back to Earth and dropped the entire State of Texas into Hell.

From the party of "Pro-life"

AKA "Forced birth/forced death"

If they were actually "pro-life," they have written exceptions to save the life of the woman in peril.

As things stand, OBGYNs are scared to death of being arrested for saving a woman's life.

"many women have grown afraid of becoming pregnant in Texas."

I will never understand how men with daughters can stay Republican.

Nor can Republican men with daughters explain it.

People who've never parented kids can STFU on how to raise kids.

Has Greg even "caught all the rapists" as he promised when this terrible bill was passed?
(spoiler alert: no, and he knows Texans are too stupid to remember)

Trying to prevent people from traveling is alarming. Tejas should stop at the stateline.

Yesterday I thought Texas should just secede already, I now believe it should be walled off before its diseased thinking infects surrounding states.

Thanks for demonstrating my point!
Instead of addressing the topic you had an emotional outburst.
What a man-baby.

Thank God it's at the state level though! So happy our country finally caught up to the intent of the Constitution.

"Yesterday I thought Texas should just secede already, I now believe it should be walled off before its diseased thinking infects surrounding states."

That solves nothing. It's like Reps saying California should secede...as if there isn't just going to be another state that takes their place on the political spectrum. Get rid of Texas and the next most right-leaning state becomes your problem. Because your problem isn't any one state, it's anyone who has a different opinion and narrative than you. And that should be discouraged more than trying to encourage silencing everyone whose opinion you don't like.
