Texas, where the War On Women is merely tradition.
Though they’re generous with their thoughts and prayers…

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.

What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws
In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

We'd have less fascism if more guys got knocked the fuck out early in life for stuff like this until they dropped the habit
I’m not going to pretend it’s easy to say something in the moment when you witness the president do this and you’re aboard Air Force One with all the uniformed officers and secret service and fancy wood accents, but this is really an instance where you should. people.com/donald-trump...

Every day, trump becomes more and more unhinged, displaying his unfitness for the job of President. Berating a female reporter doing her job is MORE PROOF that he doesn't respect women.
"Quiet! Quiet Piggy!"
I totally believe he's guilty of vile acts in the Epstein files.

According to this article, there's about $50M left over from the East Wing construction on the White House.
Maybe a food program for the poor? New insurance you say?
Nope. The First Felon wants an Arch, like in Paris. 🤡🔥
