I seriously think Gov Abbott wakes up in the morning asking himself "how can I make this worse?" So he is going to "eliminate rape" so women who are raped won't need abortions.. I mean, wow the insight..who would have thought to do that -oh wait: rape IS already illegal and it happens (like murder, robbery, any other freaking crime you idiot). I seriously can't even follow the thought process of this man any longer. Abortion law doesn't need to cover rapes because Texas will eliminate them, Abbott says

Just read that Mexico decriminalized abortion. Guess we know where the Texas women will be going.

DotRen, I read an article about rape being prosecuted in Texas, I forget which big city it was about. They summed up the article by saying if it is a "he said, she said" situation the prosecutors won't even bring the case to trial because the juries always side with the guy.

It's a man's world, ladies. Always was and always will be. I have a feeling it is only going to get worse as long as men are in control of, well, all things.
Women need to seriously unite. Women need to protect themselves by having things on them or nearby to ward off an attack if they choose to be alone with a man. Paranoid? Probably. I call it better safe than sorry.
Hopefully they will never have to use it, but just in case at least they have a fighting chance.
I wonder how many times a woman has said her guy would never do that? Probably as much as a Mom said my child would never do that. Or, a dog owner said my dog would never do that.
You know what they say about saying the word never.

Juries always side with the guy because its a man's world and everybody knows the woman asked for it. Everyone except the victim.
Until we start seeing women as equals and take them seriously it will never change.
Just because men are physically stronger it doesn't mean they are better or smarter than women. Just big and strong so they can do the jobs that need all that muscle.
BTW, Abbot is a jerk.
I often wonder how nonchalant this topic would be if men were having, what they call their jewels, smashed and crushed.
Just wondering.

My bff lives in Florida. We were commenting today on the stupidity, or whatever, of Florida's DeSantis and Texas' Abbot. My comment was that DeSantis wants to kill the Floridians, Abbot wants to take Texas back into the 1950's.

That sounds right, Luanne!
And yet, the people vote for these fools. Do the voters know any of the issues? If they do obviously they don't give a damn. If they don't obviously they don't give a damn.

My husband said that this "report your neighbor for abortion" is way too close to "report your neighbors for being Jewish" that the nazis did.

It is exactly the same thing, DotRen. Your DH is right!
I'm sick and tired of stupid. How stupid can someone be to believe they are doing something good by ratting on their neighbor? Too many jerks out there and they drive cars and have children. Sounds like doomsday to me.
We are not only ugly Americans. We're stupid. Sounds like a winning ticket. A ticket for disaster. When did Thought and Reason get replaced with just trust and believe? In the government? Sure. Why not? Ugh.
We have become a ship of fools.
I'm tired of asking people to think it through. Think? What's that?
I'm tired of stupid people period.
