AUSTIN, Texas – Leaked video shows Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell attending a meeting held by Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) where they supported the death penalty for women who seek abortions or use IVF, including pregnant minors. London and Harrel have also signed onto a pledge from the same group vowing to abolish all circumstances of abortion care in Texas.
The whole point was to punish sexually promiscuous women.
Every life is sacred is just the spin.
Every unborn life is sacred. Every actual born human can go fuck themselves.
So then where does all this whinging about IVF enter into it? How dare you get pregnant by… not… having… sex?
I realize my problem here is that I’m attempting to apply logic where none actually exists. But come on.
Not to mention: that’s punishing people who are specifically, deliberately TRYING to become parents. They’re probably among the LEAST likely to get abortions.
There isn’t any logic. The cruelty is the point.
The unborn are innocent, after which they’re tainted with original sin. It makes sense in the dumbest way possible.
This is really a Catholic interpretation and those in TX are certainly in the Evangelical camp. They don’t really think in terms of original sin.
They do, but they also think that loudly affirming your love for Jesus and then living according to their rules solves it. So it doesn’t come up until you refuse them.
Catholics think living a generally good life is enough and that there’s forgiveness for most things as long as you remain active in the church, go to confession, and do your penance.
In my experience, there’s generally little difference between an Evangelical and a Sovereign Citizen. They both speak certain magic words that means they don’t have to face any consequences; they believe that they have all of the rights of doing so but none of the responsibilities.
Not even promiscuous, really. Any woman who wants to have sex and also wants to avoid pregnancy is on their shit list. Doesn’t matter if she’s with one person for 20 years. Could even be married. Get an abortion, go to jail, oh wait no, the friggin electric chair.
