The Texas GOP is deliberately pushing the envelope, knowing they have a friendly Supreme Court.

This isn't just a Texas issue.
It's a national issue.

Obergefell (same sex marriage), Lawrence (consensual sex), Loving (interracial marriage) as well as Roe are all based on case called Griswold v Connecticut where birth control was allowed. The assholes who are going after Roe also want to criminalize same sex marriage and other rights derived from Griswold.

Fucking troglodytes. I'm 100% convinced they are trying to drive or keep liberals from moving into the state. At this rate. It might work. If they try to take my rights. I'm outta this motherfucker for good and I will never look back

They won't move slowly like Roberts would prefer. I think Thomas and Alito want to move quickly.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Roberts resigned to slow them down? Or maybe to keep his name off of this power play.
