So around 60% support abortion rights yet some of them vote for the party that opposes abortions. Women should all vote against the Repugs and show their strength at the voting booth, after all they are more than half the population in Texas but of course there's always some woman who enjoys being a second class citizen.
Boy, I’m glad those California law enforcement officials have solved all real crime in their communities so that they have time to look for evidence of out of state license plates heading toward abortion clinics.
How does this work? Idaho gets the ALPR date and then contacts everyone who drove to California and interrogates them to see if they went there for an abortion?
- The legislation, which passed over the objections of all five women in the South Carolina Senate including the Republicans, will fine anyone who violates the ban $10,000 and sentence them to up to a year in prison.
Well there's the problem. Why are we bringing women's opinions into this?
Every one of these Texas stories is horrifying. State officials aren’t going to be able to just shrug them off forever. If hospitals are truly having to wait until the woman is practically at death’s door before giving care, then these officials are going to have to admit that the law is at minimum, poorly worded and in need of revisions.
Unless of course, the law is working as intended and they see nearly killing women as the price of “freedom” in Texas. Which may be true, given that’s how they view kids murdered in mass shootings.
Remember, their first reaction was to deny that the ten year old rape victim existed at all. Then, when someone tracked her down, the right vilified her because her mother was an undocumented immigrant.
Rightwingers never gave a rat’s ass about her feelings or those of her family.
Considering these red states try to funnel that funding into abstinence only programs and fake “crisis pregnancy centers,” it may not be a great loss any way.

Some of them have fewer than 200K people (El Dorado, Humboldt, and Kings), but most of them are in major population centers.
and yet, Northwestern Indiana feels like downstate Illinois in a lot of ways.
it feels like downstate Indiana, only without the accent
oh boy, that accent! XD I also have family near Carbondale...
Yep. It's getting absolutely ridiculous. :(
lived there for a while; met my spouse there and got married in Murphysboro
I like the landscape and all that but I'll never be able to live outside a city ever again.
Easy to say when you're not an egg.

Personally, I’m heading to Virginia after I retire, gawdwilling, in two years.

It's weird, because I grew up in North Carolina in the '60s and '70s, and we were always laughing at SC at how backwards they were.
