It is absolutely monstrous that in the country where stories like this happen daily, that the politician who is most responsible for this situation is the likely next president. It makes me physically sick.

Not to mention the cold-hearted attacks on these mothers for trying to protect their own lives since they know they can’t enjoy having the pleasure of being a parent to these children.

This country, especially the southern states, don’t care about anything but themselves and controlling others.

I’m so glad the wife and I are actively trying to get out of Texas. It’s not a place I want to raise a family as there are no real family values offered here except hate and control.

Pretty sure that's what people refer to when they say Christian values.

I remember reading about that j Christ guy in the bible and from memory he hated and wanted to control everyone

This entire country was founded on "fuck you got mine"

It’s even more bizarre when women vote for / agree with this shit. What woman actually wants to go through this or thinks it’s necessary?

Don't you know? All those abortions you hear about are for evil hussies who can't stop getting with men.

But if I have complications, I get to still have a medical procedure to terminate my pregnancy, right?

It's because those women can feel power over those other women who aren't as good as they are.
