KEN PAXTON
ATTORNEY GENERAL OF TEXAS
Advisory on Texas Law Upon Reversal of Roe v. Wade
For nearly half a century, Americans have lived under a legally incorrect and morally bankrupt court decision that created, out of thin air, a constitutional “right” to abortion. Roe v. Wade was an act of raw, partisan political will of unelected judges, and it had no basis in the text of the U.S. Constitution then or now. Today we celebrate Roe’s reversal, mindful that nothing can bring back the millions of lives lost since the Supreme Court federalized abortion policy and prohibited States from fully protecting their most vulnerable citizens. Thankfully, the current Court has finally acted to overturn this egregious act of unconstitutional judicial activism.
Texans want to know what to expect now that Roe is overturned. The answer is that without further action by the Texas Legislature, abortion will soon be clearly illegal in Texas. In 2021, the Texas Legislature passed the Human Life Protection Act of 2021 (“the Act”), which prohibits abortions in most circumstances and takes effect on the 30th day after “issuance of a United States Supreme Court judgment in a decision overruling, wholly or partly, Roe v. Wade. 410 U.S. 113 (1973), as modified by Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992), thereby allowing the states of the United States to prohibit abortion.”

First, Abortion isn't Birth Control. You know full well that the bill they're trying to pass has nothing to do with Abortion and focuses on Contraception.
Second, there was nothing you posted here that backed up your claim that anybody is trying to force the death penalty on a woman who has an abortion.
If it was in your shady link, post the real link. Don't anybody click on the bit.ly link that Second posted.

This Act may be cited as the Abolition of Abortion through Equal Protection for All Unborn Children Act.
SECTION 4. Section 151.002(a), Family Code, is amended to read as follows:
a living human child, from the moment of fertilization on fusion of a human spermatozoon with a human ovum, is entitled to the same rights, powers, and privileges as are secured or granted by the laws of this state to any other human child.
(This is where the law says abortion is homicide without saying abortion is homicide, which is political poison, but a prosecutor can read this law and charge the woman with homicide, or even murder.)
. . . as legislators, to fulfill our oaths of office to the United States Constitution, so help us God, by disavowing the legal fiction that the constitution prohibits this state from exercising its reserved police powers to prohibit and criminalize homicide and from exercising its constitutional and God-given duties to provide equal protection to all persons within its jurisdiction;

6ix, your next gambit is to say the Texas law doesn't mean that abortion is murder and, besides, the Republicans won't enforce it. But it does means abortion is murder and Republican prosecutors will enforce it erratically, arbitrarily and capriciously against their political enemies.

I already said what I am going to say about it.
You've said a lot and still refuse to post anything to back it up.
It's alright. Democrats are finished anyhow. Nobody cares about this either.

How many people work for the government?
About 3 million people work for the federal government; 5 million for state governments, and 14 million for local governments.

Today the House voted on a bill to protect access to contraception.
Almost entirely thanks to Democrats, it passed. 194 House Republicans opposed it.
It’s 2022. How are they opposed to access to birth control?

It makes you wonder what was ACTUALLY in the bill that 194 people would vote against it since nobody has a problem with contraception.

Quote:Wonder no more, 6ix! Here is the text for H.R.8373 - To protect a person’s ability to access contraceptives and to engage in contraception, and to protect a health care provider’s ability to provide contraceptives, contraception, and information related to contraception.

By the way, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said that he would be pleased with overturning/reversing/nullifying all previous court decisions ruling that state laws forbidding contraception were NOT constitutional. In Thomas' opinion the states can do whatever they please about contraception because the word "contraception" is not in the Bill of Rights.
H.R.8373 was written to stop Clarence Thomas and the other Catholics Republicans on the Supreme Court, but they won't be stopped because no Republican Senators will vote for it. The bill was received in the Senate on 07/21/2022 but there has been no action, yet, because the Democrats know for sure that the Republicans will filibuster the bill for the same stupid reason Clarence Thomas gave: the word "contraception" is not in the Bill of Rights and therefore any state that wishes to forbid contraception can make it illegal as the Catholic Church wants.
The House will vote Thursday to protect access to contraception nationwide after Clarence Thomas suggesting overturning it.

The House passed these bills together.
Here's the other one with the pertinent parts underlined:

Fuck your gaslighting.
Either that, or tell the people you get your news from to fuck their gaslighting.
