I look forward to reading the court records when Abbott is handed his ass.
More GOP extortion. The corruption never ends with Republicans.
The party of 'Small Government' & 'Freedom' is at it again. All hail the dominionist nanny state. 🙄
Wow! I will never enter the state of Texas. The Texas GOP is out of control.
Abbott has proven to be an abhorrent failure, incompetent, and deliberately negligent to his duties of office and of the people of Texas. He is a danger to Texas sovereignty and Texans lives. Emergency actions to remove Abbot and secure the border must take place
And now these Repubs are going after internal corporate policies …. WTH next!
I’m a die hard conservative and even I recognize this as legislative overreach. This is not a battle I want my tax dollars to fight.
Messing with attorneys paying for abortions is like poking a wasp nest with a stick. Not advisable and it’s going to sting.
Don't have sex with a person you wouldn't want a child with.
Not the smartest thing, taking on Sidley. But all the firms and corporations should keep it simple and just shut it down and pull out of Texas like they did in Russia. A brief moment of financial pain, then it won’t even be missed.
Are they really trying to get Elon to leave our state? Tesla has already pledged to do the same for their female employees.
Let all the good employees leave Texas them. Nothing like threatening businesses to encourage them to halt expansion or leave. Guess Texas doesn’t want well educated citizens anymore.
Gop will lose the case
Ive lived in dallas all my live and ive NEVER BEEN MORE ASHAMED AND EMBARRASSED TO SAY IM FROM DALLAS
The Texas Taliban is out of control.
Texas gop can KMA. I’ll go and do what is in my best interest…. Not theirs.
Republicans want to control everything. The Texas GOP is so out of control. Republicans used to be about limited Government. Now they are about total control while hiding behind their Sunday Christian bullshit.
Good! If you don’t like Texas’s abortion laws then leave TX. Someone needs to look into these Texas DA’s that refuse to uphold the law & prosecute those who break it. DA’s don’t decided what laws they will enforce & which they won’t. Charge them for failing to uphold their oath.
So law firms should just leave Texas. Why would anyone want to do business in Texas?
SMH this is ridiculous
