I hope he becomes intimately familiar with our bankruptcy laws and the lack of safety net for the indigent his rancid party created.
Always double down. That’s what Trump taught them

If they sue for defamation this is going to get SLAPPed hard, and I suspect their lawyers actually know better.
I’ll have to watch his downfall vicariously. He blocked me, of course. Suburban Texas housewife problem
I am sick of this. A birther can abort their gender fluid developing human like thing anytime they like. There is nothing criminal about that. People should sue Cain and perhaps the community police we will have once Beto is Gov can throw him in jail for his violent words.
Ah, yes! Representative All-Hat-and-No-Cattle. Hope they do.
We deleted an earlier tweet about this story because it was missing a link to the article.

True: planned parenthood hands out cross-hormones w/ virtually no evaluation. Anyone feel like being sterilized today?
When Briscoe Cain wears his 'overcompensating for something' cowboy hat, reminds me of Roscoe P. If you believe anything good ol' boy Briscoe says, got two Eric Church tickets to sell you for his upcoming San Antonio show.

Rather bold of someone in politics to call anyone else a 'criminal organization.' Guess he resents any competition.

Are people not aware that Roe v Wade is still law; for the time being…
An abortion costs 3000, cancer treatment more 100,000 - 1,500,000... This NGO funds abortions? is not even clear who funds this, are they using tax payers money to kill babies?

Please do!
lividddh Speaking of “criminal organizations” we still remember when Briscoe helped with the efforts to overturn the election in the run up to the 1/06 coup d’etat.
I would love to see Little BriscoeCain lose his ass in lawsuits over this. If this is the hill he choses to die upon then may it be a costly one.
Ok, it's Briscoe Cain and he has impulse control issues.
Why are short people so angry?
Aw lil BriscoeCain is just dancin’ for his dinner y’all
Threats mean blah, blah, blah. Just do it!
The evangelicals who have taken over this states political leadership are just like the Taliban and will be just like their forbearers in early America. Remember witchburning?
Roe v Wade still the law of the land, last I checked
