      You have to remember more than half the people in Texas vote for this shit while believing they live in the most free place in the world. Should freedom mean the freedom to take away other people’s freedom or should it mean the freedom to do what you want?

      The takeaway from this is if you live someplace like this the average person is not your friend. Get out while you still can.

        it’s not that simple. we’re gerrymandered as fuck with less voting access than in the past.

      6 Catholics overturned Roe too. Catholics only represent 23% of the population and tend to have much stricter views on abortion than Jewish and Hindu folks for instance. Maybe we shouldn’t let 6 people from the same freaking religion decide anything with religious overtones. But if we do, and in the case of abortion…maybe it shouldn’t be the people that think Jesus got magically beamed into Mary’s womb from orbit.
