https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/438207-gop-texas-lawmaker-reintroduces-bill-that-would-allow-death-penalty-for A Republican state lawmaker in Texas has reintroduced a bill that would criminalize abortion without exception, making it possible for women to be convicted of homicide and sentenced to death for having the procedure. Texas state Rep. Tony Tinderholt (R) was placed under state protection in 2017 when he first introduced the bill because of the death threats he received, The Washington Post reported Wednesday. He has previously said that his proposal would completely remove access to abortions and “force” women to be “more personally responsible” with sex. The bill would criminalize abortion and classify it as homicide, which would make it possible for a woman to receive the death penalty for having the procedure done. The legislation's language directs authorities to enforce its requirements “regardless of any contrary federal law, executive order, or court decision.” “I think it’s important to remember that if a drunk driver kills a pregnant woman, they get charged twice. If you murder a pregnant woman, you get charged twice. So I’m not specifically criminalizing women. What I’m doing is equalizing the law,” Tinderholt said during a hearing Tuesday, according to Fox4 News.
fuck this fucking state
Killing the mother will ensure they never have an abortion again. Brilliant!
I'm sure grieving after a miscarriage would go wonderfully with a manslaughter charge on top of it because of this stupid fuck.
Even here I don't think this will come anywhere close to passing.
maybe they should do something about evangelist tards too, i thought that was what the second amendment was in place for
So pro-life that they'll kill others
Handmaid's Tale tier shit.
No chance of passing
If this is how the law works, failure to own and be able to access their supply of condoms at all times (except when operating a motor vehicle or heavy machinery) should be a felony for all Texas males age 21 and older, unless sterilized. Also masturbation becomes a misdemeanor when married. How's that for personal responsibility, Tinderholt?
He has previously said that his proposal would completely and access to abortions and “force” women to be “more personally responsible” with sex. Ok, but what about the guys that get the women pregnant? Any laws forcing them to accept responsibility and legally have to marry them? No? Huh. I’d say weird, but the GOP is the party of good ole’ boys, so clearly men shouldn’t have to answer for dick unless they aren’t white.
And then shutter public aid for pregnant and struggling mothers and children because they don’t give a shit about a child after it’s born. It’s all about controlling women’s lives. It was never about the child. Sexist assholes
“I think it’s important to remember that if a drunk driver kills a pregnant woman, they get charged twice. If you murder a pregnant woman, you get charged twice. So I’m not specifically criminalizing women. What I’m doing is equalizing the law,” Tinderholt said during a hearing Tuesday No, you are criminalizing women. Because if you honestly think that drunk driver metaphor is at all comparable to an abortion, you are either as dumb as a sack of rocks or flat-out malicious. And given the current state of the GOP, that's a pretty easy one to guess.
I like putting things about abortion into this perspective; If women were to say "Men cannot masturbate anymore because ejaculation is killing thousands of potential humans", would we men stand for it? Hell no. So why are we trying to tell women what they can/can't do with their body?
Not his problem ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ /s
There should be a law to throw people who come up with these stupid ass laws in a mental home for life.
The people advocating for this shit want us to go back to the time where it was the norm for fathers to marry off their teenage daughters to grown men and force them to become babymakers for life. (Said men, at the time, also regularly consorted prostitutes and raped with zero consequence. Said men today support shit like these proposed abortion laws while simultaneously jacking off to porn as much as any other demographic, and also regularly cheating on their spouses. Ever heard of Vision Forum? Well, let's just say that their whole fundamentalist media empire came crashing down cause of this kind of hypocritical shit. And Dough just one of many conservative fundamentalists going way back who have recently had their careers ended for the same reason. I would not be shocked in the least if a truthful survey revealed that maritial infidelety is just as common if not more so in these circles as it is in the general population. )
I don't think we're in an age of disinformation anymore. I think we've quickly moved to the age of regression.
They're all in favors of the unborn, they would do anything for the unborn, but once you're born, you're on your own.
But these people are all going to be dead or vegetables in 5-15 years’ time.
The line between the US and shitholes like Saudi Arabia grows more blurry by the day.
I read a theory somewhere that these people keep making laws like this to try and bring an abortion case in front of the Supreme Court in an attempt to also overturn Roe v Wade
Remember that they cherish all life guys
normally yes but in this case it might be a bridge too far.
Death sentence? These people are fucking insane and should not be in any position of power whatsoever. Jesus Christ, get over abortion already.
