Texas's terrible new abortion regulation is a con aimed at low-information/anti-abortion voters

They’re not medical waste.

You realize these are just teeing up a Supreme Court challenge to Roe v Wade as soon as Trump can replace Ginsburg?

I was afraid her ego was going to seriously damage the court. Now it seems that it is likely to do so.

I wish Texas would leave…let all the Progressives out first though.

You don’t know, it could also be a way to get more election money from funeral home owners. An experienced politician can do more than one awful thing at a time.

Does this apply to haploid humans too? In that case, I better toss off over a little coffin when I watch PornHub.

Just one of the many reasons why even I wouldn’t send you to Gary Indiana.

Now hurry on back from Omicron Persei… I mean Colorado!

…So women should send used sanitary pads to Pence so that he can arrange for proper burial? Better safe than sorry.

Oh, it gets better. Guess where many women end up losing at least a significant portion of an early miscarriage? In the toilet.

George Carlin was right. The reason why right-wingers want a lot of live babies is so that later on they can become dead soldiers.

What’s the evil of a few dead women compared to the evil of providing health care to people without charging them?

Having had the experience of flushing a lump of tissue vaguely the shape of a marine mammal that I regarded as my own dead child down the toilet, I would very much like to punch Mike Pence in the face.

You’ll miss our brisket (and our refining capacity, for now).

Sincerely, a displaced Texan.

Also, not to sound like an apologist here (I am certainly not), but why do the best signs almost always have a spelling and/or grammar error? I’m not perfect either, but if you’re literally holding your one most important/relevant thought up in public, wouldn’t you ensure that the way you present it is grammatically correct? Maybe I’m suffering from confirmation bias, but there seems to be more of this on the right than the left.

This is what Aleister Crowley meant when he referred to performing ‘human sacrifice’ 150 times a year.

What a shame your image is of a dude, because they’re not the ones getting burned on this (that is to say, they are, but not like the women who are having their bodies legislated).

This is something I can’t get out of my mind. Aside from the emotional stress which I can’t imagine women who have to pay for medical care–the costs of which are bound to go up–following a miscarriage are now going to have to shoulder the additional cost of “funeral” services.

In spite of that I’m sure the lawmakers will claim there’s nothing punitive about this law.

Oh of course. Gotta preserve the dignity of the fetus. Of course, the dignity of the woman doesn’t matter. Maybe there’s a “conservation of dignity” law here at work.

Breast feeding stuff? Nope: their only function is to sexually arouse any men in their vicinity.

Have you not noticed how freaked out the right-wing gets about breastfeeding in public?

I was about to say that it’s ironic that the increase in maternal/infant mortality is due to Texas’ war on abortion, but it’s not at all ironic, unless you accept forced-birthers at their (superficial) word. Since it’s actually a war on women, the infant mortality is just collateral damage.
