Mike Luckovich for January 04, 2024

Why would anybody want to live in those backward states? Then again I suppose they want to keep it that way so they can suffer under some of the world’s worst politicians.

I wonder what Ken Paxton would do if his own granddaughter needed an abortion to save her life. He might not be as cavalier as he is with any other Texan woman.

Republican dictators want to turn the USA into Texas.

Come to CA, where we protect your health and your rights.

Its sad that thats the reason to abadon your home and family

During the Jim Crow era (which hasn’t really ended in some places), there was a travel guide for African Americans called the Green Book, which listed places and services friendly to nonwhite Americans. Today we need a book like that for female Americans.

Imagine how many doctors are leaving red states!

We should just let Texas leave. It’s a back-water state that could never support itself. My guess is that it’d quickly be taken over by Mexico. Good riddance.

Don’t let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya.

LSMFT—for years it meant Lucky Strike means fine tobacco —-but when I was stationed down there once, it forever became Lord Save Me From Texas!

I really wish everybody that truly supports a women’s right to choose would pick up and leave texas. Imagine how the state would fair if 60% of it’s population up and moved.

Republicans need to stop their obsession with abortion. It is a losing issue.

The woman in the news about leaving Texas to have an abortion to “save her life” is missing an important fact. Her doctor said her life was not in danger. Also, Texas law did allow for abortion if life or extreme harm was determined by the doctor.

Opps….. There goes the narrative!

That’s be nice, but a lot of people can’t afford to just pick up and go somewhere else. And remember, abortion laws only apply to poor women. The state will never touch a rich woman.

If Ken Paxton’s grand daughter needed an abortion he would simply call up one of his physician buddies from the country club and have it taken care of. Two different sets of laws.

“Handmaid’s Tale” is meant to be a work of fiction, not a manual for governance.

Why would any decent, thinking person want to live in the State of Texas under dictator Abbott?

This is texas, the state that claims to care so much about life, the state that takes pride in its unmatched number of executions, and where you can buy a gun at a newspaper stand.

The right-wing nutjobs wail and moan about the rights of the unborn, until the unborn make the mistake of showing up, alive, as actual people.

These pro-lifers want to take all “woman’s healthcare” away.

That is, stopping female specific healthcare givers from practicing.

Oooh, imagine the uproar, if, those who specialized in male problems, were shut down.

Prostate problem? No can do.

Willy gone all soggy? Sorry.

Gotta get up and pee all night? Deal with it.

And, it seems, more than a few women support this lunacy.

The NEW Gerrymandering.

At some point in the near future, Texas will be home to the majority of adherents of the type of Fascism enjoyed by so many MAGA’s and other special needs Republicans.

True!

I don’t blame her. You go girl.

The right-wing authoritarians, along with love-for-sale justices thomas and alito are now trying to ban the abortion pill, mifepristone.

Why have I heard nothing about condoms, or more importantly, vasectomies being in anybody’s crosshairs?

The Supreme court based their anti abortion argument on religious principals which the Constitution forbids. Separation of church and state is most important.

I just keep hoping for a “brain drain” from The South…especially Texas and Florida.

trump is 77 years old.

trump also says he committed no crimes.

trump wants the us supreme court to rule in trump’s favor and say that any crime, any crime committed by a president, while in office, is completely protected by presidential immunity, and the criminal can not be held in any way responsible for those crimes.

That’s a fact Jack, l left there 65 yrs ago because of their backward thinking!

But how can someone want to leave Texas? In income tax (but sales tax through the roof), no gun laws, high schools with multi-million dollar football stadiums and no science labs (science =bad), and soon birth control will be illegal. Sounds like paradise to me.

 Where were YOU 3 years ago?

I was …

John Doe: … at work, trying to earn a living.

Mary Moe: … still recovering from COVID.

Robin Retiree: … home watching TV, barely believing what was going down.

Mike Pence: … preparing to count the legally cast electoral votes for president.

Ron Johnson: … trying to slip an envelope of fake Wisconsin electors to Pence.

Enrique Tarrio: … leading my Proud Boys in an assault on the US Capitol.

Mike Fantone: … doing my duty.

Josh Hawley: … running for my life.

Donald Trump: … masterminding a plot to overthrow the US government.

In my opinion, Texas is still a foreign country
