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.)
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!
You're right. I was thinking of interviews with Trump supporters out in the rural areas, but you're right, the cities are, as always, more aware and informed. It's pretty encouraging. And yes, California is its own country. 6th highest GDP in the world, rated w/ other countries, not states. I still think we should secede, but then of course we'd have all those failed states just to the East of us.
Let us give all the props to Maggie for speaking some hard truth to power. Also, that Cartman image is everything .Wild wild west shoot shoot bang bang!
You're right. They'd be available in gumball machines for a quarter, or maybe mixed in with the peppermint basket offered at the cash register of your local diner...
I say this all the time. It takes two to make a pregnancy. All the blame and humiliation is on on women, as if they all had Immaculate Conceptions. The plight of women who are denied access to abortion means that victims of rape will be forced to give birth and support their rapist's baby; they will bear the extraordinary expense of caring for a child with non life-sustainable birth defects; they will suffer due to the ideation that the life of a fetus is more important than the life of the mother in dangerous pregnancies, are all things that are being taken out of the hands of women by men. It never fails to stun me that this can be happening in today's America.
And you would get a week off every month (with pay) to deal with cramps and discomfort. Abortions would be legal, free, and followed by a gourmet cup of coffee.

That is b.s.
I know, it was so silly of me.

He is so manly!
I just read the WaPo annotated transcripts. Can't take the sound or appearance at all.
Is that his jab at a Universal Basic Income? Just give everybody free #MAGA hats?

I was a blue Texan but now I'm Californian. Sorry, y'all, but Austin is no substitute for Silicon Valley.
That question and all questions regarding the actions of the Dear Leader should end with the word yet.
Skimmed the *whole* article. Note that it says he let anti-life (they are NOT "pro-life") speakers ramble on *twice* as long as he let her go.
Wonder if that's legally actionable.
That's coming out of your allowance, mister.
Hoo boy, Texas-sized temper tantrum...
