It’s almost like who need abortions are going to get them regardless of how legal they are.
Amazing.
You mean it’s almost like RICH people who need abortions are going to get them. Crucial distinction. It takes resources to get yourself to another state and a lot of people can’t even afford to take time off work let alone pay for gas/bus ticket/plane ticket/hotel etc.
In the end it’s the arrogance that’s going to get them.
Theyve got too much faith in gerrymandering, but Texas just flipped to a majority non-white Hispanic. And I doubt that next generation is going to vote R
You’d maybe be surprised at how conservative the Hispanic population can be. Just look at Florida, for example.
Also, don’t understand the right’s ability to convince people to vote against their best interests.
The fucked up thing is that the MAJORITY of Texans aren’t rich yet they keep voting for the party that let’s their kids get slaughtered in schools and their mothers die on the birthing bed.
I blame the 2 party system. The democrats could do us on this but the whole culture war thing is really a huge distraction. Democrats seem willing to lose out on everything they proclaim to care about to make everything qia+ their main focus. And they should probably not try to take texan guns on the same platform as anything else.
A don’t mess with texan women campaign by a pro gun democrat that is quiet and center on other social issues, along with generic “economic growth” talk might actually do well.
“The cruelty is the point” etc
These women now have to struggle for what was once readily available, even if they still can, theoretically, access family planning in another state. A lot of them are going to try an unsafe method, or won’t be able to make the trip happen, or fall through the cracks another way.
