Women in TX should stop having sex with men

Say, "It's too dangerous," or " It would be way to inconvenient to go to the nearest clinic," or "If the resulting pregnancy would kill me, the TX congress would be too in my face."

Things will change real quick.

started really pushing their agenda.
Not just in TX, but in ALL the states. Solidarity Sisters!

Then so women can fend off any uninvited aggression from men, we should all get carry permits to "defend" our honor.
Something tells me the LAST thing these women-haters want is a bunch of women slinging around guns! LOL
Oh, the irony.....

Not just Texas but also Ohio and Wisconsin.

I mean here in OHio it looks like they're even aiming for our birth control. Lets start a "We won't open our legs while our health clinics are closed."

Personally, I've been on a "no dick for Republicans" regime since the 2000 election - not even if they have books.

They'll get the message. And in order for it to hit the idiots who implemented this law, prostitutes should stop too. Kick them where it counts. It's legitimate.

does not work, particularly so in Texas, which has one of the highest teen pregnancy rates in the nation.

So this reads like a cute little snarky something-or-other until you realize that Texas is exporting abortion restriction legislation to other states across the country (Wisconsin, North Carolina, Ohio, etc. and that's just this past week).

If you think W Bush (and not Ralph Nader) is how we got started down this slippery slope, then it behooves you to also consider that if Texas goes blue, the Republican party nationally is history. For a generation or two, maybe longer if the Dems don't fuck it up.

Translation: Democrats, but certainly Texas Democrats, need more people of color, more female, more poverty-stricken, and more younger people voting. Snarking on Texas women, primarily those who are brown, young, and poor -- though they won't ever read it, and as light-hearted as it seems -- isn't helping make that happen.

take part in that campaign are usually going to be married/dating/having sex with men that are pro-choice, or at least I'd think so.

I can't really agree with having sex with a Republican no matter what state they're from.
