So, the "prolife" movement is going to kill people. Nice. Notice how the rep. pushing the bill has been married 5 times?

Lets turn the conversation around. How about the death penalty, automatically, for any man who rapes, including college frat boys? And, don't forget pedophiles.

Texas is world renown for executing death row inmates.
Is it the same 'He who sheds man’s blood, by man — the civil government — his blood will be shed' for the death row inmates?
What really pisses me off on these kinds of things is that the middle class/wealthy Texan ladies can fly themselves to other states or countries for legal,clean, medically supervised procedures. It's the poor Texas women who would end up potentially dying from botched procedures or, apparently, on death row.
Once again, the poor pay the highest price.

I really think this country needs to seriously consider a conscious uncoupling.
Coming from a blue state in the north east I can't even fathom this type of draconian, theocratic bullshit being entertained with any degree of seriousness. I'm not sure how we are ever going to find a "middle ground" with religious zealots. More to the point, I don't want to try.
Let them pack their bags, build their walls, and live in their biblically inspired, oppressive, hellscape.
Just please leave the rest of us alone.

Why do people keep proposing clearly unconstitutional laws?
It's legal. get over it.

Once again, the poor pay the highest price. Just to expand on this...^^^ I was an unwed mother back in the late 60's, prior to roe/v/wade....I had an offer from a Jewish man I knew to have an abortion in a fully accredited hospital in the LA area by fully accredited Dr.s. Only thing I had to do was come up with $500 for the procedure....and he was willing to front me part of the $$ cause he was the owner of a bar where I worked part time. It would NOT have been put into the records as an abortion, but rather as a "female procedure" back then. Not sure how it could be coded in today's medical histories, but I'm sure there is a way. And this was in a Jewish hospital...how did he know about it?....well, that's where most of the wealthy Jewish men took their mistresses for their abortions or their wives when they went outside the marriage or their daughters if they got "caught"!....is how he explained it to me back then. This is NOT a judgement of Jews or any other religion....but it does show one area of hypocrisy even before we had a law. I'm sure there were others for other religions too or other ways to "cover" for those who could afford it....religion or not.

how does that sound?

Now my favorite part of the quote was this: "The legislation is the brainchild of state Rep. Tony Tinderholt, a Republican from Arlington, Tex., who was placed under state protection because of death threats he received when he first introduced the bill in 2017..."
He has no problem with calling for women to be put to death yet HE deserves tax payer funded protection to make sure no one gets close to his yellow-bellied quivering pasty white skin.

I think it is great that these bills are introduced so it is clear what is at stake if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

I think Texas wants to go back to the "good old days". If you catch a boy with your daughter, daddy either forces a shotgun wedding, or puts a bullet into him.

they want to go back to the days before birth control, when women had but one important job in life: to have children. and not at a time of their own choosing, but rather at a time that men choose.
indeed the stakes are high. hopefully more voters will find that motivating than in 2016.

Personally responsible for escaping marriage from unpleasant women, who reverted back to their nasty selves, after the vows ? Just trying your logic on for size.

I've said it before, and I'll keep saying it...Women need to just go on a damn sex strike until men learned to leave our bodies and choices the fuck alone! If all these dudes trying to make laws forcing us to have children all of a sudden stopped getting laid, I be they would change their tune real quick like.
The problem is there's a lot of women who wouldn't get on board with this idea.

Nah, ain't going to happen. Men are more desirable than women. The women wouldn't be able to hold out nearly as long. We'll watch sports and drink beer and go fishing, until the girls give in and say, "Take me, it's been too long, and I can't go without it any longer".

They're always chasing after me, and I sometimes just get tired of it all. Although I'm starting to suspect it might be the money... I'm really not that good looking. The old stereotype of the man always being ready/wanting for more, just isn't true.

Pretty clear what (or who) is the common factor in all of those failed marriages, wouldn't you think? I'd give the guy a pass on one because things happen and people change, but four or five? No, it's him.

If it makes you feel any better, 99% of men as old as I am, have no interest in sex. I would guess the creepy is in your head. Makes me want to

More importantly, women have a lot more options, and the sports-obsessed, beer-drinking fishermen are not going to be high on the list. It may be tough a lot of the time to find a GOOD option, but most women always have options. A lot of men don't. They may never find anyone who wants to be with them. And face it, women get booty-called because they're home. Men get booty-called because they're good. Women have more options.

I mean, at least this law is equal and kills the father of fetus for behaving irresponsibly himself by requiring all men in Texas to give a government a sample of their DNA to test against and creates the harshest laws in the country around child support.
OOOhhh wait, you mean Texas is still cool with guys behaving irresponsible it's just those apple-eating women they hate?

And you needed to marry your daughter off early, preferably to an older man, since women can't control themselves and you don't want her getting knocked up before she's married, or she'll lose her value. Better pregnant in the kitchen than running around town with strange boys with bad intent.
The wonderful days of the patriarchy.
Probably a good thing I was born when I was - any earlier I probably would have been burned at the stake for being outspoken and noncompliant.
