On Monday, two large groups converged on the Texas Capitol. Progressives who were protesting against the draconian anti-women’s rights bill, Texas Senate Bill 1, were dressed in orange. The anti-choice contingent, ultimately led by Arkansas ex-governor Mike Huckabee, was dressed in blue.

There was a healthy supply of state police on the grounds. Most on the outside of the Capitol seemed to be just scattered around the various crowds of the anti-choice contingent.

Pro-choice progressives began amassing for a march that grew into an unending river of humanity. The march was flanked by the city of Austin police (and what seemed to be a couple of federal Suburbans?).

At the march’s culmination, the marchers engulfed the Capitol grounds peacefully. The anti-choice contingent was overwhelmed by the sheer size of the opposing crowd. Most of them left as the pro-choice marchers continued their chants. ...

9. Republicans are such hypocrites

they couch this issue in "sanctity of life" but they don't give a shit while children are killed by wars. Those children simply don't exist - or they're collateral damage.

who is so stupid that they fall for this cant?

religiously stupid. the pretense of just war is, again, just that. a pretense for something a religion or a politician thinks he (sic) has the right to do.

a woman, however, does not have the most basic right to life if she is forced to be a brood mare for religious perverts - b/c "right to life" is a perverse reading of what qualifies as the business of men in the lives of others they do not know, whose circumstances are unknown, whose health is unknown.

that's playing god, not acting for good.
