Gonzalez added, “This is a developing story and we don’t yet know all the details surrounding this tragic event, what we do know is that criminalizing pregnant people’s choices or pregnancy outcomes, which the state of Texas has done, takes away people’s autonomy over their own bodies, and leaves them with no safe options when they choose not to become a parent.”by the University of Texas found that, between Aug. an Dec.

What's a miscarriage I wonder? Involuntary manslaughter?! This is a goddamn farce 😤

Go there! Be her voice! You have the means and the brains! Let’s go!

WaywardWinifred Ladies, abandon Texas.

Good...murder is illegal!!

GovAbbott when I was first pregnant my obgyn said the cut off date was coming soon to get an abortion because your ass telling women they don’t have a choice over their own bodies.

the handmaid's tale is here.

Unfuckingbelievable 😡

Abbott & Texas don't address the drug abortifacient, given to women to cause a miscarriage (remember Jason Miller was accused of drugging Jane Doe by blending a pill into a fruit smoothie?). They need to hold men accountable or else they're just hypocrites. GOP GovAbbott

This is the first of many. It will be so bad, you won't be able to keep up.

Imagine the choice you make with the contents inside your own body now are not your choices anymore. Thanks to the Republican Party going full 1979 Iranian theocracy, we all have to live under evangelical Christianity rules.

The Handmaids Tale....as reality.

We shouldn’t have to fear this with Roe stil In place. Wish she would have drove to a neighboring state to get one.

My god.

🤱🏿🤰

Steers and rednecks

That’s awful… So riddle me this: if there’s a pregnant person that is say 4 months pregnant & has an accident & slips down the stairs (or insert random accident here) & loses the baby due to injury that was not self-inflicted necessarily - will they still be charged w/ murder?

Shameful.
