Texas bill would allow death penalty for women who get abortions

The bill was still pending on Tuesday after Democrats decried the argument made by the bill's supporters as contradictory.

"I’m trying to reconcile in my head the arguments that I heard tonight about how essentially one is okay with subjecting a woman to the death penalty for the exact — to do to her the exact same thing that one is alleging she is doing to a child," Democrat state Rep. Victoria Neave said.

Tinderholt told the Texas Observer the bill is meant to "force" women to be "more personally responsible with sex."

"Right now, it’s real easy. Right now, they don’t make it important to be personally responsible because they know that they have a backup of ‘oh, I can just go get an abortion," Tinderholt said.

Agnes gets out of bed, grumpy tomorrow morning. She gets cranked off because she didn't get that someone's post was sarcasm.

Joe vote to hide because Agnes didn't have his coffee ready when he got out of bed.

Henry votes to hide because his one pair of underwear wasn't dry after he washed it and hung it on the wooden hanger.

Martha, well, Martha's always pissed off at somthin'.



And there goes your post. Yes, sarcasm does require a bit of intelligence to understand.

responsible for sex. How about if they father an unwanted child, they lose their dick?
