georgetakei,

People said we were being alarmist when we said extremist Christian nationalists would use the abortion laws to target women trying to escape Texas to receive an abortion.

@georgetakei

The GOP's anti-reproductive rights laws target black and hispanic women the most.

Republican billionaire donors know that black and brown women don't vote GOP & there's nothing like an unplanned pregnancy to derail a woman's life.

So much of their behavior is reminiscent of the Fugitive Slave Acts.

Republican billionaire donors want to repeal the 19th and thwart the passage of the ERA.

@georgetakei Stupid court bait. If it was even remotely constitutional (which it isn't) the response would be to withhold all federal highway funds from the state.

@georgetakei I guess no one there has bothered to read Gibbons v. Ogden (1824)

This Supreme Court decision forbade states from enacting any legislation that would interfere with Congress's right to regulate commerce among the separate states.

mikey_in_sd,

@georgetakei Well, this seems like a pretty clear constitutionally protected freedom of movement violation. For a group of people so hell-bent on complaining about government over-reach, they sure are experts in how to keep over-reaching.

@morecowbell @georgetakei Are you sure you worded that right, it could be read wrong.

@Susan_Larson_TN @morecowbell @georgetakei

For clarity, I'd suggest:
If you value any women that are family in your life or plan on having any female friends or friends with women in their family, expanding your family by any female members or ANY children in the future at all, GTFO NOW!

What a nightmare.

    As the song goes:

    "She shouldn’t have to be your sister
    She shouldn’t have to be your mother
    Your relationship should not define how much you should respect her"

    GretaGroots,

    @georgetakei "Lock her up" referred to ALL women

    @georgetakei Idaho made leaving the state for an abortion or aiding anyone a crime last April.

    People thought Orwell was being alarmist when he wrote "1984"

    @abqralph 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a fucking manual ! @georgetakei

    @RLetot @abqralph @georgetakei

    1984 was supposed to be fiction not fact

    To all women in Texas, stop have intercourse, then they will reconsider or maybe then they even pass a law that make you unable to refuse...

    @georgetakei Is that actually obstructing interstate commerce? Not that SCOTUS necessarily would agree.

    What the WTO calls “mode 4 of service provision, natural person moves abroad to receive the service”?

    @georgetakei Seems like nothing less than a campaign to make slavery legal again to me.

    @georgetakei perfectly okay to fly though

    AmyPetty,

    @georgetakei How the hell do they plan to enforce this? Random stops and on the spot pregnancy tests?

    VincentWandersAimlessly,

    @georgetakei guess they will have to take the back alleys to get there.

    @georgetakei Once Roe was overturned, I didn't hear a lot of people who didn't understand that it was about to get a lot worse.

    It's unfortunate people didn't have that sense of urgency on 11/9/2016

    tlunsford1969,

    @georgetakei Maybe they should focus on some of the fake news, like the electrical grid, flooding, or mass murder. But that would require them to have actual life skills. Hopefully we at least get some art out of this repression, like Riverdance or most of the genres of music.

    @georgetakei why is the USA always trying to go backwards?

    Institutional religion is the silent monster. It is not your friend.

    thinking_images,

    @georgetakei "christian" nationalists are domestic terrorists hiding behind a perverse version of "chrIstianity".

    History is full of "christian" hostility. It needs to be stopped.

    @georgetakei sounds like the Handmaiden’s Tale is coming to fruition. It’s amazing and in this case, chilling, how often fiction becomes fact.
