Even Texas is tiring of the big government nanny-state that is happening everywhere the GOP has control. Is this really what modern conservatism is? Banning birth control? Eliminating health care? Punishing the poor? Giving vast sums of taxpayer money to the already rich? Did you see that West Texas can’t even get funding to rebuild the schools that were destroyed in the fertilizer plant explosion? Sorry, kids. You’re on your own, show some initiative and educate yourself out on the streets. We wouldn’t want other people to pay for your tragedy.
Everything is bigger in Texas?There was a story about this Texan touring Europe.This is a bus station? In Texas it would be X10 as big!This street would be at least 6 lanes wide.The library would be at least X4-etc etc and on and on.Finally he pointed to a little building on the corner and said that in Texas it would be four stories tall and take up at least half the block!“By the way, what is that building?”“Home for retarded children!” answered his guide
So the right wingers dont believe in a free America, going by your post. I think it is you who should leave, try Iran thier laws and oprresion seem right up your alley.
Notice too that none of those wingnuts are volunteering to help pay to raise the babies they insist are so precious. This whole thing was just to further enrich Perry’s sister, who owns interests in the three clinics that are already in compliance with all the new requirements that will drive her competitors out of business.
Many states use history textbooks purchased by Texas who buys 48 million yearly, second only to California. The conservatives who have approved the Texas interpretation are celebrating their power and influence.History is written by the victors, said WinstonChurchill. Victors can be the ones who publish the most books.On a positive note, or not, due to improvements in publishing techniques, states are more able to make corrections they deem appropriate for their citizens. It’s important to know who’s telling your story.I’m sure if left in their positions, this era of the Texas position on choice/life, the next books will celebrate the passage of this bill. Now Texas and other people can waste a few million dollars each on running it through the courts. Does anyone know what the estimated increase of births would be if birth control and abortions weren’t available?Respectfully,C.
“OMG!!Now women only have 20 WEEKS to decide if their irresponsible pregnancy should be terminated!!”maybe you should read this article and find out how cruel and ignorant your comment sounds:Very few people actually talk about these issues amongst the sturm und drang of the abortion fight.http://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/21/opinion/my-abortion-at-23-weeks.html?hp&_r=0
Hey Dummies, this is from the TEXT OF THE BILL:(B) this Act does not apply to abortions that are necessary to avert the death or substantial and irreversible physical impairment of a major bodily function of the pregnant woman or abortions that are performed on unborn children withsevere fetal abnormalities.

Compulsory pregnancy? Must also mean compulsory sex — without pre-conception birth control. Damn those sneaky old legislators!!

Just more proof that “conservatives” want government off your back and into your uterus, bedroom, and doctor’s offices.

^yes, and the parts of the bill you are not quoting shut down most of the clinics where an abortion can be obtained. net result is the same.
