Did you want a black market on abortion access, higher number of unwanted children and unprepared parents, and an increase of abandoned babies found dead?
Because that's how you'll get a black market on abortion access, higher number of unwanted children and unprepared parents, and an increase of abandoned babies found dead.
All because of organised religion insisting on persecuting people in the name of a false god.
Colorado began providing free IUDs and contraception to teens without parental consent, and saw a dramatic drop in teen pregnancies and abortions. >

Shocking result >

And not the result the GOP wants. >

Need to encourage that domestic supply of babies >

Enjoy your explosion in teen pregnancies, Texas. Your government is dumb AF and will handle this as absolutely incompetently as is humanly possible. >

We are solid members of the Never Every Club
"Never Ever, in a Million Years, will that happen to me/my family/my wife/my child"

And then the kid is conveniently and quietly rushed off for an abortion in a legal state >

That was the implication >


The case was brought by Jonathan Mitchell, the former Texas solicitor general who masterminded the state’s ban on abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy. Mitchell is representing Alexander Deanda, a father of three daughters.
Deanda is raising his daughters “in accordance with Christian teaching on matters of sexuality, which requires unmarried children to practice abstinence and refrain from sexual intercourse until marriage,” according to the complaint.

That's all I needed. Fuck off with that noise. I'M NOT CHRISTIAN AND YOU CAN'T FORCE ME TO BE ONE OR ACT LIKE ONE.

Neither Deanda nor his daughters have sought services at a Title X clinic, per the complaint. But Kacsmaryk ruled that the program violates Deanda’s rights under the Texas Family Code and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, denying him the “fundamental right to control and direct the upbringing of his minor children.”

I read this as there being no standing for this... person. And then at the very end they clue us in to what it is all about. CONTROL >

For anyone who hasn't seen this one... Garfunkel and Oates! >

I love that one >

So ... More teenage mother's. Got it. >

Texas is one of the leaders in teenage pregnancy. >

And don't forget we hate to support women with children. Or anyone really. And also remember we have a failing foster system as well. And adoptions are biased against gay couples. It's almost like Texas wants children born just so they can be treated like shit by the state. >


And adoptions are biased

That's as far as it needs to go. I don't know what it costs now, but it used to be as much as a round of IVF if not more. Which, a decade ago, was about $15k
