I will try to hold back too many profanities, but it's seriously FUCKED UP that anyone but this woman and her doctor know that she's pregnant, with a doomed fetus, and needs an abortion, and it's FUCKED UP that anyone gets to overrule her decision, and it's FUCKED UP that she has to flee the state during an obviously traumatic time, and it's FUCKED UP that the FUCKERS will vilify her now, hell maybe even prosecute her, and it's FUCKED UP that making a difficult time much more difficult is "good politics" in the state of Texas, which, by the way, is an utterly FUCKED UP place.

please stop with the "Just Leave." we can't all just leave and i tire of hearing it. what limitations and obligations keep you where you are?

and if you genuinely can Just Leave wherever you are, reflect for awhile on your privilege, then try to recognize how many people do not have that option for any number of reasons.

sometimes i think this sentiment is only a little less tone-deaf than "just have a baby."

I want any Texan to give me the moral justification for forcing a woman to give birth to a baby that will only live for a few hours in agony before dying. Because this isn't stopping what they call murder. There's no murder here even if you consider abortion to be murder in general because there will be no life for this fetus/baby/whatever you want to call it.

I want to know why this woman should be banned from having an abortion in Texas beyond 'we said no abortions and we mean it.'

Texas woman seeks refuge from religious persecution

All Texas women should leave the state regardless of whether or not they need an abortion

Never vote Republican.

Republicans are regrssive on human rights.

National attention while going through this sounds like a nightmare

She should probably never come back to Texas. She and her family will be a target.

I imagine ole Kenny boy will get on the horn to some civilian lackies to sue Uber, Southwest airlines, the airport that the plane took off from, etc under the original vigilante law that allows such to any person who "assists" in getting an abortion.

My daughter is twenty two years old and loved growing up in Texas. I told her to never live in this shithole state because it's becoming illegal for her to exist, so she's living and working in a civilized state at the expense of my rarely getting to see her.

Colleagues think I'm overboard in this. Those colleagues have sons, not daughters, so it's still if it doesn't affect me personally, it's not important.

Fuck this place.

I guess if my life hung in the balance and at the whim of people like Ken Paxton, I'd leave too. Too bad that Texans and doctors didn't show up for her.

Isn't this literally the Handmaid's Tale?

If I were her I would stay gone by any means necessary. Texas is not going to be here friend after this. Texas is very sad place. There are many people in Texas who hate all of this and they feel pretty helpless. The Republicans have had Texas by the balls for decades.

Conservatives are a plague of oppression and death. They always have been. There is a cure. It is long overdue.

Just further evidence that the best thing you can do in Texas is leave.
