If you want to give money to some pro-choice charities, try here:

https://fundtexaschoice.org/ - The Dallas-based nonprofit Fund Texas Choice assists Texas residents with lodging and transportation expenses to abortion clinics in and out of state. It also provides information on organizations that can help with funding the procedure.

That's a fuckload of rape considering how small the window to actually get pregnant is.

It's working as intended for the forced-birth party. Not only are women in red states relegated to second-class citizens, but those states are going to have a population boom. Which means that they'll have even MORE representation in the House come the next census.

Human suffering is considered to be mere collateral damage as the GOP continues its pursuit of unchecked power.

26,000 rapes in the last nine months? If that’s true, they should be focusing on that more than abortion.

Holy shit that's a horrifying number. And this is just the pregnancies. I have no words other than FUCK TEXAS.

An actual life sentence for being the victim of rape.

The support those children will receive postpartum, will be just, warm hearted and generous, right?

Thats a fuckload of rapes

Wait a sec. In the event of rape, I thought God stops the pregnancy. Or, the women's body magically rejects it because they are not soul mates. Or, whatever other evil, disgusting, nonsense, bullshit these idiots dream up to try and justify torturing women.

Republicans want this because it will continue the supply of prison slaves when the children are a little older.

That’s a lot of rapes. Aside from guns do Texans actually care about anything. They obviously don’t care about women other than sex objects.

I'm confused, I thought Texas solved rape???

Some parts of the USA are really more than utterly disgusting. And we all know it's not pro-life, it's pro-cheaplabour.

We’re on the precipice of rape being legalized in Texas.

Texas saw an estimated 26,313 rape-related pregnancies during the 16 months after the state outlawed all abortions, with no exceptions for survivors of rape or incest, according to a study published Wednesday in the Journal of the American Medical Association,” the Houston Chronicle reports.

“The authors noted that while some pregnant rape survivors who need abortion care may be able to travel out of state or manage the pregnancy at home with abortion pills, the bans leave many survivors without a viable alternative.”

Someone in Texas should propose a law that makes rape punishable by life in prison, minimum, and failure to pay child support punishable by chemical castration (it's reversible). Watch these fuckers go to the mat defending a rapist's right to get off without major consequences.

Shithole country.

System works as designed. Nobody should for a second think that this is some sort of unintentional side effect.

This might sound horrible, but what would any lawmaker or politician in Texas (or who supports outlawing abortion) do if they got raped or someone they loved got raped?

You are pre-born you good, you are out of the womb you fucked..

Republicans, ladies and gentlemen.
