we live in a country that killed 250000 iraqis by mistake, 850 school shootings since 1990, 2 million civilians in vietnam. why the surprise that noone really cares about a few lives in Texas? Face up to the cruely and inhumanity imbedded in American culture.

Using women’s need of pregnancy support, the human need of healthcare, as a cudgel to enforce social control and to administer punishment is an essential component of the modern GOP platform. #AllRepublicansHaveCriminalIntent

This is the kind of thing you get when you believe one kind of people are "better than" another kind of people. This one starts at birth believing that boy babies are "better than" girl babies. Then believing men are "better than" women, and women are just meant to serve their "superiors"

TX is not a safe state for women. Until they codify women's health care, including abortions, because abortions are health care, in their constitution, they will never be a safe state for women. This country is not safe for women. We're not even in the top ten.

Governing by ideology over outcomes is how the Nazis started a world war. It's what destroyed the Soviet Union. In Nov the USA should stop trying it. #VoteForFighters primary the rest.

If you’re a woman who is considering giving birth, the state where you live has never been a more important consideration. If you’re in a theocracy you’re now a second class citizen, without the protections that others enjoy. No republic can function like this.

It’s hard to imagine that somebody would be so ignorant about a bill they were supporting. We’d seen this movie before abortion was legal, there is no way a politician would not know the implications of their action.

Texas doesn't want to know how their abortion ban is working. When you are catering to the religious right and their enablers all you need is verification of how many supposed lives you have saved. That doesn't mean you are willing to take a child born out of wedlock in, that's your problem.

I’ve seen this posted many times in the past year…any updated data? Data through mid 2026? Appreciate the work/effort!

Willful ignorance appears to be the go-to tactic for MAGA world people. It started under Trump 1.0 with COVID and has spread far and wide since then. They say, "If there are no numbers, it didn't happen."
