WAIT, WHAT, WHY

 Greg Abbott and his group of Republican Gestapo State Legislators, pretend that they believe in the sanctity of life, but somehow if that life IS anything but a Fetus in the womb of a Caucasian woman, Greg Abbott and his Texas Brown Shirts, seem to give absolutely NO SHITS whatsoever.

The state trooper, identified as Nicholas Wingate, a medic for the Texas Department of Public Safety, reported seeing a 19-year-old pregnant woman having a miscarriage after being caught in razor wire in Eagle Pass; a 4-year-old girl trying to cross the razor wire being pressed back by Texas National Guard soldiers “due to the orders given to them”; and a 15-year-old boy who broke his right leg after the wire forced him into a part of the river that was unsafe to travel.

The wire was installed along the Rio Grande by Texas National Guard and the Texas Department of Public Safety to “deter smuggling between the ports of entry and not to injure migrants,” Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw said in an email. In a separate email, McCraw acknowledged the wire has resulted in migrants needing “elevated medical attention.” McClatchy)

 

UH-HUH, the Fascist Nationalistic Christians, in the Banana Republic of Texas, along with their ever so HYPOCRITICAL AUTHORITARIAN COMMANDER, HERR ABBOTT, are all about Rape Victims, Victims of Incest NOT having access to choice regarding their bodies and are also very pissy about Medical Professionals actually practicing their skills in assisting any female to choose what she believes is good for her life. THEY swear LIFE MATTERS, except of course if that life is Mexican, Trans.

 

Abortion policies currently in effect in Texas include the following:

Abortion is completely banned with very limited exceptions.

Patients forced to make two trips—one for in-person counseling and another at least 24 hours later for the abortion.

State Medicaid coverage of abortion care is banned except in very limited circumstances. (Guttmacher Institute)
