When Texas Senator Tells Little Lady To Shut Her Mouth, She'll Shut Her Fucking Mouth, Ya Hear?
There are three things you need to know about Texas Senator Charles Schwertner actually SMASHING A GLASS TABLE from having to listen to these awful Texas citizens testifying about their Constitutional right to an abortion:
1. The bills women were testifying against were pretty bad bills: one would ban women from donating their fetuses' tissue to science to help others; the second would ban the safest second trimester abortion procedure; and the third would force women to pay for proper burial of their fetuses' remains. (If you haven't buried a loved one lately, our most recent cremation -- though of a full-grown human -- cost $3300.)
2. Since he is a physician, Schwertner doubtless knows but does not care that only 10 percent of abortions are in the second trimester -- or that the second trimester is when women who would very much like to have their babies find out those babies have such terrible fetal abnormalities, they will either be stillborn or live excruciatingly short lives filled with excruciating pain.
3. When Schwertner tells a woman to shut up, SHE WILL SHUT UP.
Schwertner hit the table so hard w/ his gavel demanding that our intern stop talking during her testimony that he broke the glass. #txlege  pic.twitter.com/2eZmOz0Cq5Â

When Texas Senator Tells Little Lady To Shut Her Mouth, She'll Shut Her Fucking Mouth, Ya Hear?
I think that if men could get pregnant, they'd become the underclass -- analogous to how teaching and secretarial work became less prestigious and less-well-paid once they became women's work. ........ And I don't mean this in an angry (well, not angry at this second), MEN ARE SHIT kind of way; men are not inherently shit any more than women are. Rather, humans just haven't figured out that life doesn't have to be one-up-one-down. Well, some have -- but they're never the ones setting policy!
That is b.s.
