Why are women still living in texas? Why would anyone get pregnant in texas. I am thinking that consensual sex is a thing if the past. Put your shoes on women and leave the lone star state. Leave these assholes alone and horny!!!

Why do ignore us?

You can flip texas from red to blue but too many women are against you. Women are voting against their own best interest!!

That’s a bit Black and White to the actual truth. Women in Texas overwhelmingly are pro choice. It’s just that Cronyism has ruled our land for 30 years because there’s bellwether parts of Texas that just don’t vote. The key Swing voters needed just generally show up. Thus that’s why it stays Red.

The key swing voters do not get out and vote. So my question remains- why are women still living in Texas?

Texas is a Gigantic State. It takes almost 2 days to drive straight out of.

Because Texas is a Very Flippable State and if the Democrats started giving a shit about us and spending large amounts of money here, they’d win.

Yes well women will wake up but men who love their women should support leaving texas. Let Texas die in the desert on hate especially for their women.

Why why why is it ALWAYS the woman who gets blamed and punished? There is a man involved EVERYTIME. Yet, he goes free.

Excellent reporting. Where is the local media? Are Texas news reporters OK with this kind of threat to women? Maybe we need some billboards along the highways into the state, or at the arrivals terminals in their airports, to warn women visitors about the healthcare abyss they are entering?

There is some coverage in local Texas media but unfortunately a lot of it is behind paywalls so most Texans don't see it. I also write for a great local state news site called Courier Texas and I've written a number of stories about the assaults on women's reproductive rights there. I'm currently working on a few.

This is eugenics. It’s about culling the human herd of females of color & poor whites. They know withholding healthcare from females impregnated by men causes death, sterilization, permanent physical & mental damage, suicide. Control of & power over females is how they manifest white rule. The patriarchy is the problem.

Texas is disgusting. About is a piece of shit and so is Paxton. Texas is full of delusional religious women who are perfectly happy to save babies but don’t give a fuck about their daughters. Fuck all the republican women in Texas.

Yes it is insane. But “Patti” is correct. They want everyone who isn’t white,male and wealthy to die. They will keep the healthy white women and enough others to do the work as slaves. 👹

There are many reasons women miscarry. Many men cheat on their wives who are pregnant. Can they kill the husband if he cheats and gives his wife an infection while pregnant that causes a miscarriage? That should be a law as well. Also, what is the penalty for men for rape and incest? A bilateral orectomy and cutting off the penis should be standard procedure. There are ways to fight back.
