Texas is truly evil

[angrychair]

Skop – who has called the supreme court’s overturning of Roe v Wade “a victory in the battle but not the end of the war” – has argued in favor of forcing rape and incest victims as young as nine or 10 to carry pregnancies to term. “If she is developed enough to be menstruating and become pregnant and reach sexual maturity, she can safely give birth to a baby,”

Republicans are truly vile. Anyone that think a little girl, no much older than a toddler, can have a baby is seriously demented. That this lady even has a medical license much less being appointed to a state committee, is disturbing.
This is the kind of stuff that pushes me over the edge. So gross. So evil.

1. A months worth of pampers

And a preferred spot at a homeless shelter for the rape victim compliments of your fellow citizens with conservative values. Bless their Hearts.

2. Texas has a lot of evil Republicans

If Ann Richards, her daughter Cecile, Molly Ivins, Wendy Davis, Beto O’Rourke, Colin Allred, and the over five million Texans who voted for Joe Biden four years ago are/were evil, that’s news to me.

7. Texas elected them

Texas is putting people like Skol onto a committee on maternal mortality.
Texas is the state elevating a person that openly advocates to force a raped 9 yr old to have her rapist's baby. It's Texas that's wants to force a women to all but bleed to death in a hospital parking lot before they even consider trying to save her life.
Texas. Not New York. Not Washington. Not California. Not New Jersey. Texas.
The people of Texas keep electing them therefore the people of Texas supports what they do and say.

8. Right, just like "the people of America" elected and loved Trump

In 2016. Supported everything he and his gang did, too. Evil America, and everybody in it. I don’t know why the world puts up with us.

10. I would agree

I would agree that if the majority of Americans elected Trump in 2016 then everything you said would be true.
The difference is the majority of Texans did elect and re-elect and re-elect these Republicans to run Texas in a statewide vote.
In 2016 the majority of Americans picked Hillary Clinton. In 2020 the majority of Americans picked Joe Biden. TSF has never won the vote of the majority of Americans.

13. But I've heard that the Reptilicans have gerrymandered Texas six ways from Sunday, and that's

one reason so many of these fools are in office.

And I'm not a Texan, I'm in SC where, of course, there is no gerrymandering.

[angrychair]

15. True, gerrymandering is a factor

But not in statewide elected offices like Gov, Lt Gov, AG and so on.

[Think. Again.]

5. As if just physically giving birth...

...was all there is to motherhood.

6. Would this be a medical statement or a religious one. And I am not bashing

religion. Just wondering where this Doctor is coming from?

As a Texas citizen, this actually does not surprise me.

11. She is, at least in Texas, a licensed OB

And states that in her capacity as an OB that it is medical option BUT it is clear that it heavily influenced by her religious beliefs.
She has had several papers she has written withdrawn after multiple inaccuracies came to light. The American Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists protested her appointment to that state Maternity Mortality Committee based on the grounds of her personal beliefs unduly influencing her opinions.

9. That's not true. Girls are reaching puberty earlier now, but they are not capable of bringing a pregnancy to term

For the youngest of them it could be a death sentence.

12. I have Asperger's and I grew up gay

in Amarillo a half century ago. We didn't talk about sex at home. In seventh grade my classmates knew that I was gay, not the word that they or the principal used, before I even knew what being gay was. They tried to set me on fire at the school bus stop. This was when the war in Viet Nam was on TV every night and the monks were burning themselves alive. I thought that I would die like that. But my shiny light blue shirt, my favorite, was the only thing that burned. The principal told my Mom that I would need to learn how to fight.

In ninth grade my geography teacher, the tennis coach, told my class that I should be killed. Every day was hell for me at school.

After high school I worked at IBP, the factory slaughterhouse, to save money for college. It was the only job that you could get without education or connections that paid more than minimum wage. After I finished college and got my nursing license I moved to Dallas.

I would consider some parts of Texas evil. And I'm sure that some parts of Texas would consider me evil.

But more people in Texas voted for President Biden than in any state except California or Florida. More people voted for President Biden in Houston than in Delaware, D.C., and Hawaii combined. More people voted for President Biden in the Dallas Fort Worth Metroplex than in Nevada, New Hampshire, and Vermont combined.

Since Texas founding by filibusterers who sought to take land from non-slave countries and turn it into slave states, Texas has been run by oiligarchs. Personally, I would agree that these are evil people. But there are millions of people in Texas who are standing up to evil. I think that this is especially difficult where the zeitgeist is corrupted by evil. And I think that these brave people who fight against evil deserve our support.

14. Sorry you had to endure that Mark.

And thanks for pointing out that despite how many really evil assholes there are in some "red" states, there are millions of good people and as you say, even Biden/Dem voters who live in those states who do not deserve to be labeled evil.

South bashing seems to be the one bigotry consistently allowed here.
