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.
where they supported the death penalty for women who seek abortions
When you’re so pro-life you loop around and become pro-killing.
Surprised it’s a leaked video, and not a campaign ad
Don’t give them any ideas, the tube’s gotten toxic enough lately.
They want the death penalty? I can’t with these people, I thought the whole point of banning abortion was that “every life is sacred”.
Do they ever get tired of being so hypocritical?
No, this has always been about control. They get to decide who lives and who dies, not women, which is why the pro-life types are always also pro death penalty.
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.
The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

The unborn are innocent, after which they’re tainted with original sin. It makes sense in the dumbest way possible.
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.
punish sexually promiscuous women.
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.
By this logic, all the republicans that have caused the premature death of people by not providing healthcare, homeless services, meals for children, living wages, and cause people to be caught in vicious cycles of poverty and drug abuse should also be put to death. Line them up!

They are taking on IVF. Next they will start to say that people who had C-sections are not really mothers and their children were not actually born. (note: this is a real thing)
Fine; Children born via c-section were not actually born. That means they don’t have to pay taxes. Checkmate!
Conservatism should be illegal. Nothing good in the history of mankind has ever come from it. The only things to come from conservatism are oppression, bigotry and death.
Ah yes. Christian love.
