Texas Woman In Legal Peril For Out-Of-State Abortion
A bunch of fundamentalist theocracy states have started having police and even private citizens patrolling to spot pregnant women on roads connected to the border. They take the information of the car or woman, and check when she comes back if she is still visibly pregnant. If not, an investigation can be initiated. Right now this is not getting a lot of publicity and the theocratic states want to keep it that way. Let the public know that these people see the Handmaids Tale as a how to guide book. Hugs. Scottie
The Washington Post reports:
As soon as Collin Davis found out his ex-partner was planning to travel to Colorado to have an abortion in late February, the Texas man retained a high-powered antiabortion attorney — who court records show immediately issued a legal threat.
Now, Davis has disclosed his former partner’s abortion to a state district court in Texas, asking for the power to investigate what his lawyer characterizes as potentially illegal activity in a state where almost all abortions are banned.
Davis’s petition was filed under Texas’s Rule 202 by Jonathan Mitchell, a prominent antiabortion attorney known for devising new and aggressive legal strategies to crack down on abortion.
Read the full article.
Mitchell appeared here in 2022 for his lawsuit seeking to block insurance coverage for PrEP medications because they “encourage homosexual behavior.”
Also in 2022, Mitchell filed six separate lawsuits seeking to dismantle LGBTQ rights, including the Supreme Court’s Obergefell ruling.
Headline should be “Abusive, Controlling Man Upset Woman Doesn’t Want His Baby.”
We overturned the Runaway Slave Act quite a while ago.
And now we’ve become a nation of slave states and free states.
That’s not an exaggeration.
Forcing a person to use her body against her will (even in pregnancy, even to sustain a life) is slavery.
And the GOP is still disgruntled about it.
I don’t know much, but I know this: Any woman who votes Republican in November for any candidate running for any position is out of her fuckin’ mind.
True. My crazy religious sister is voting R consistently because Jesus and god. She is 100% anti-abortion, and that’s one of the reasons why god chose Trump as president, you see.
She is 65 and “pure”, which means she has never stained herself with sexual relations in her entire life, so getting pregnant isn’t going to happen. Pregnancy is only for nice married women, and if you aren’t a nice married woman, you are a damned whore who gets exactly what she deserves.
Yes, she is out of her mind, which is exactly why she votes republican.
Not to mention it violates the constitution. Texas cannot criminalize behavior in a state where that behavior is legal. It has no jurisdiction in Colorado.
Their novel characterization, from what I’ve said in other cases, is that the “crime” occurs in Texas when they procure the plane ticket or bus ticket or make plans, etc.
I don’t believe any texas court has signed on to that shit yet – but that’s their argument AFA
Missouri tried to do something similar, but in a different context: “That fetus is a Missouri citizen and we are protecting the life of that citizen from being taken outside of the state to be killed.” SMDH
If they’re going to claim that a fetus counts as a citizen of Missouri, then they logically need to stop issuing birth certificates and start issuing conception certificates. At least historically — especially since a child was not guaranteed to survive birth — a baby was only considered a citizen once it was born.
Claiming that a fetus somehow counts as a citizen poses an additional legal problem in the sense that it potentially opens the door to a pregnant woman potentially being charged with manslaughter for miscarrying even though her miscarriage wouldn’t necessarily have anything to do.with what she did or failed to do.
Prevailing precedent on the right to interstate travel would, in normal times, make such a notion laughable…but with this SCOTUS, these are not normal times.
This!!!
Hey Texas, you know how you discriminated against a trans cheerleader from a blue state that has laws against it? Well that blue state will sue you.
You’re totally cool with it, right?
I’m pretty sure the US Supreme Court already gave its blessing to the Texas law.
Not this one, as far as I know. You may be thinking of the “bounty” law – but I’m willing to admit if I’m wrong.
My version is on a T-shirt, but I like YOUR version better!!!
Some important The Majority Report clips
NH Rep Objects To Child Marriage Law Because “Ripe And Fertile” Underage Girls Might Opt For Abortions
If you go to the link, you will see one state representative claimed he started having relations with his wife when they were 16 and they did not need input from anyone else. He then claims that he considers they were married from that point, even though they did not get legally married until they were adults. Which says a lot of about his mind set. Seriously, nothing in the bill prohibits what he and his girlfriend did. They had teenage sex. They did not get married then. The bill says girls can not be forced to get married if they are minors. Period. Because if there were loopholes people who want an as the article says one representative described minor girls as a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved. He sees girls / women as breeding stock. Just something to carry the man’s issue to term. Hugs. Scottie
The New Hampshire Bulletin reports:
The New Hampshire House passed a bill Thursday raising the legal age of marriage to 18, sending the legislation to Gov. Chris Sununu’s desk after years of advocacy. Senate Bill 359, which passed 192-174, states that “no person below the age of 18 years shall be capable of contracting a valid marriage, and all marriages contracted by such persons shall be null and void.” Under present law, that age is 16.
Rep. Jess Edwards argued that taking away the possibility of marriage could lead more 16- and 17-year-olds to abortion. “If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option, when we do this to people who are a ripe, fertile age and may have a pregnancy and a baby involved, are we not in fact making abortion a much more desirable alternative, when marriage might be the right solution for some freedom-loving couples?” he said.

Someone search that fuckers browser history.
Look for hidden partitions on his hard drive. He has probably named it Daddy’s Little Sluts.
Wtf?!? What America needs a group of 16yo girls having babies sounds very Gilead. I’d check this guys hard drive at home
Soooo…this creep believes that fertility is the only requirement for marriage. Someone hide that poor, Ohio 10 year-old impregnated rape victim from this deviant codger.
A “ripe, fertile age” – really? Normal people haven’t referred to others like this since about the seventeenth century.
16ty Century is where the Reichwing wants to take us all.
You mean, before the upstart, rebellious American colonies declared independence from the King of England?
Speaking of which… I’m sure all those Reichwingers in the US celebrate July 4th, commemorating our throwing off a real, visible tyrant and dictator. Interesting that they not only accept, but would have us submit to, an invisible dictator! And he’s the One Special Invisible Dictator who may not be questioned!!
NO THANKS!!
“looking for Groomers, LOOK NO FURTHER” Thank you for saying that out loud.
Caps are my addition to the quote
He really wants women to be chattel. And 172 state representatives voted against the bill. That’s scary.
The GOP wants to shrink the government to the size that will fit in a Fallopian tube.
Probably wants to do away with no-fault divorce, too.
Teen wives can’t legally hire a divorce attorney. Edwards said he would write an amendment to the bill to allow underage wives to hire divorce attorneys, but he didn’t actually do that.
Don’t know if you saw this earlier, different state, but…
NPR: Pregnant women in Missouri can’t get divorced. Critics say it fuels domestic violence
Destonee requested she be identified by only her first name. She says she still lives with abusive threats from her ex-husband. She couldn’t end her marriage because Missouri law requires women seeking divorce to disclose whether they’re pregnant — and state judges won’t finalize divorces during a pregnancy.
. . . and the state won’t fund enough safe-house shelter beds.
“If we continually restrict the freedom of marriage as a legitimate social option,”
– like 2 men or 2 women?
There is no “rape/incest” exception for abortion but there is a “mistress/daughter” exception.
Rep. Jess Edwards voted against any exception for rape or incest, but changed his mind to allow for abortion in the case of non-viable fetuses, because he “doesn’t think the government should play Solomon between a live woman and dead fetus.” < eyeroll >
Fucking old goat actually thinks 16 year old girls are salivating over musty old balls like this dude clearly has. Hopefully by the time these young ladies turns 18, they’ll run far far away from NH.

Ladapo: Mask Wearers Just Like To Hide Their Faces
Ladapo first earned national infamy for a 2020 press conference outside the Supreme Court with insane nutbag Dr. Demon Semen, who says that women get STDs by having sex with demons in their dreams, that drag “opens portals” to demons, and that Biden and Pelosi “downloaded their brains to the internet” and are now “demonic clones.” Lapapo has been accused a falsifying a study on COVID vaccine side effects and of lying about his history of treating patients at UCLA. He last appeared here in January 2024 when he called on the public to refuse all COVID vaccines.
When asked to wear masks to help the country deal with a worldwide pandemic, the maga hate groups claimed they wouldn’t do it because they can’t breathe wearing masks. The went to school board meets and ranted and screamed at the board about it. Yet now those same Proud Boys, Three Percenter’s, Oath Keepers, and the Nazi protesters marching in the streets who call themselves Patriot Front all wear face masks to avoid being identified and lose their jobs. If they think they represent so much of the country as they claim, why not be open about what complete morons and jerks they are. This is another reason DeathSantis and racist governors in some red states are outlawing any Diversity, Inclusion, and Equality programs so white people can be open racist bigots to fellow workers without getting reprimanded or facing consequences for their actions. Hugs. Scottie
None of this surprises me anymore. It’s like we are living in the preface to a dystopian science fiction novel.
wait. you mean this isn’t The Stand in slow motion?
With Randall Flagg on trial in lower Manhattan
“Some people are still afraid and think that masks are going to help them, which is total nonsense.”
be nice. all those people pictured wearing mask are dead now from breathing their own exhales. /s
“Part of the reason seems to be that some people like to hide their faces,” Ladapo said on the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show.
Kinda’ like the Proud Boys.
Petra, Not Of This World
Recent comments on my repost of Ten Bears preachers sermon where he stresses that real Christians don’t do Worldly politics but prepare for heaven, reminded me of my few years as a recovering battered teen in the SDA church. They had approved books and music, I loved one of the soft rock bands called Petra. The song that Ten Bears reminded me of is below. I really felt like that song, that I was not of this world. Even as an atheist I still enjoy that song. I would think modern Christians would embrace it. Hugs. Scottie
