Maybe women should just GTFO of Texas. Anything vag related and doctors won't want to do anything incase you're pregnant.
I think getting the fuck out of Texas is exactly what this legislation is attempting to prevent. If they get away with this, I'd doubt they'll stop there, either. Never mind abortion, this will set the precedent that they can legally "prevent" you from using public road infrastructure for any particular purpose they feel like.
It doesn't take a legal expert to see why the line of reasoning they're using to justify this is horseshit, nor to grasp just how dangerous this type of thing is.
Proving Obama's "you didn't build that" statement.
That's often easier said then done
That's easy to say, not so simple to do. Especially when friends and family ask why you are moving far from them ans your job. To speak nothing of the costs for Interstate moving.
“I just don’t want to live here anymore” or “the other place seems nice” is perfectly valid. The cost part is unfortunate though.
Then we need to band together and help sneak people out of Texas.
🤔 Do they have anti-abortion travel laws if you use a bus or a train?
Can't let this virus spread. It has to be fought at the source.
That's the idea. Republicans want a permanent majority in Texas, and they're making the state as inhospitable as possible to anyone who might vote against them.
They are losing the battle as the state is slowly becoming more purple
Why do you think they're trying so hard?
Texas bans Woman ...
Woman ban Texas !
