This won’t actually hurt the only people Paxton cares about, rich honkies, but if enough middle-class white women are hurt by this, maybe they’ll vote for their own interests for a change.
Basically, unless the honkies that created the current Texas state gov. choose to vote differently, nothing will change & I don’t see why any doc should operate in that legal climate. https://mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/112536750156213697
