This is basically the same as saying "Things happened before this thing." Like, by this reasoning, I am a product of the American Revolution, because my mom is American, and she couldn't have been American if there wasn't an America founded... So I guess I'm kind of like George Washington's honorary grandchild?

There is no good way to go about doing it because it’s an evil thing to do.
Time for the citizen militias to start surveillance of the daily movements of all TX elected officials and their families, so they can cash in when one of them inevitably tries to arrange an abortion for an “inconvenient” pregnancy.

Texas Elected Officials can afford to fly their preggos to New York to get what they would deny others.
Texas just broke the irony meter.

Texas is set to pass a new law banning Facebook from censoring conservatives
But it could face an uphill battle in the courts.
With "Everythings bigger in Texas." uhm, hello, like Alaska is like right there 3x your size and all that...
As I understand it, the law does not preclude someone living in New York from bringing suit, it only requires that the defendant be a TX resident.

I wish it were ironic that the same party that is terrified that people will report them as unvaccinnated is now gleefully setting up a reward system for turning in women who get abortions, but the hypocrisy has been expected for a while.

With people like Coulter and Alex Jones starting to turn on trump, I have this feeling that the right is starting to try to dismantle his grip on the party.What a roller coaster we are on these days

How long before we see news articles about people making a living as abortion bounty hunters? Throwing out words like "bravery", "entrepreneur", "faith" and such while all but completely ignoring that such a person would be a vile, excuse of a human who is profiting of the exploitation of women.
The law is so shit that hopefully people can start fucking the court system so clogged that Texas courts grind to a halt. There's zero, literally no penalty for frivolous lawsuits under the law. Nor do you even need to be a resident in Texas to begin one. And there's no limit to how many you can file.
Seen some rumblings of people planning to take full advantage of it to fuck the entire system up.

Since I don't know better, I'm going to assume that the law was written to be absolute shit on purpose. They clearly want this to cause as much havoc as possible.

For the record, Pete Ricketts is SO pro-life that he ordered illegal drugs to be shipped to Nebraska after the death penalty was abolished. In fact, he vetoed the bill abolishing it but the veto was then overridden. So he and his dad contributed over $600,000 to repeal it, which was successful. In other words, he's so pro-life that he went WAAAAAAAY out of his way to kill people.
And we're not even talking about his attacks on unemployment or SNAP benefits or his active attempts at stopping Medicare expansion even though the people voted it in.
In short, Pete Ricketts is a fucking cancer and the sooner he's gone the better. The biggest problem is that it's still Nebraska and the next guy up looks to be a QAnon loon.

GoDaddy is cutting off Texas Right to Life’s abortion ‘whistleblowing’ website
"hosting provider GoDaddy has given the group 24 hours to find a different place to park its website."
They're violating GoDaddy's TOS by collecting information about people without consent.

"Anti-lifers" is my takeaway here. It sounds suspiciously like "Antifa."
Also:
Such strange bedfellows they now have.

Texas is an embarrassment of a state:
"There won't be any rape victims who need abortions because we will eliminate rape!"
I can see where this is heading already: Laws that will more narrowly define rape so that Texas Republicans can announce that it won't happen anymore.

The phrase "legitimate rape" is going to start popping up again, isn't it.
Its genuinely amazing to think that that comment once cost a republican an election in a red state. Feels like another era.
Oh, we (i.e., non-Texans) have heard, all right:
It's an absolute embarrassment. Or would be, if this wasn't a deliberate decision by the people in power calculated to hopefully kill off as many "undesirables" as possible before they are finally forced to behave themselves.
