Texas Abortion Law Update: Passed

[Orbitus]

Except for the fact its the same fucking thing passed by a dozen other states...but since Texas did it OH MY GOD THE SKY IS FALLING! FASCIST REGIME POWERS INC!! RUN FOR YOUR LIBERTY!!! And society needs rules and restrictions

And how many of those states have those laws still in place or not being contested? I can guarantee you none of them are going to stay law especailly ones exactly like the one Texas is trying to pass.

3% of their budget goes to abortions. BY LAW TAX PAYER DOLLARS CANNOT BE USED FOR THIS PROCEDURE. Can you read that or do I have to get the macaroni and cheese crayons out for you?

I'm not questioning the size of the expenditures on abortions.

I'm saying that the state funds an organization that performs abortions. Nothing I said was incorrect. You just object to the obvious inference that statement makes because the laws allow them to play with bookkeeping numbers and say "tada, taxpayer funds didn't pay for any abortions". It's almost like they pretend there's no such thing as a subsidy.

Up next: Illegal abortions skyrocket and public health takes a (further) nosedive in the wake of this bill meant to "protect the health" of women.

The GOP and its supporters: advocating utter incompetence in all things. Because freedom.

So? State funds an organization that does abortions, who cares. But those FUNDS CANNOT BE USED FOR ABORTIONS, meaning you cannot walk in and ask for one on the tax payers dime, so in turn Planned Parenthood and the state does not pay for abortions. Its like you are purposefully ignoring everything I said. Simply because you don't like abortions.

Because technically it isn't a human being. Its a ball of cells with no viability. Get your religion out of politics.

Then how are you defining "working" laize?

They don't give a shit about any liberties? It must have been a different Texas that is leading the nation in electronic privacy legislation, then.

You're in a thread about Texas passing punitive restrictions on women's rights on a board that has also been discussing a kid in jail over a facebook post in Texas. Don't pretend its some bastion of liberty. Its a bastion of social conservatism.
