“Imagine a world where people are mad about saving babies.”

Pro-abortion activists are again trying to dismantle Texas’ Heartbeat Act and legalize the killing of more babies across the state.

Wendy Davis, former Democrat state senator and failed gubernatorial and congressional candidate, has filed a federal lawsuit against the act, calling it “blatantly unconstitutional.”

For context: In 2020 alone, more than 53,000 Texans were murdered in the womb by abortionists. In 2021, the “controversial” new Heartbeat Act, hailed by state lawmakers as the monumental pro-life win of the year, simply prohibited an individual in the state from killing a pre-born child after the baby’s heartbeat is detected (though the law still does not protect a baby in the first few weeks of his or her life).

Importantly, the Heartbeat Act is also unique in its enforcement; it empowers citizens, not government officials, to sue abortion facilities and anyone who assists in executing a heartbeat-detected child.

Since the act was approved by the state Legislature last May, pro-abortion businesses, media, and elected officials—including President Joe Biden and his administration—have raged against the law and sued the state to force them to halt it. However, courts—including the U.S. Supreme Court and the Texas Supreme Court—have so far refused their arguments and allowed the law to continue to this day, in part because of its unique legal design.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
If she isn't pregnant, does she have standing? :whistle:

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

  • That is the problem with everything. They try and make it better without realizing the old is fine.

Does that come with the fetal debris, or is that a separate accessory?

  • I don't believe in Trump anymore, he's an illusion

At 58 and probably menopausal I doubt she will ever have standing if that is the standard. I never knew that one of the rights feminists were fight for was infanticide. Why do these people consider the killing of their baby, for the simple reason they don't want it, a right with no consequences but if a father killed the baby for the very same reason he is prosecuted for murder?

The claim is that it is her body, but unless the abortionist is a real hack, it isn't her body that gets shredded, poisoned, or burned to death with salt.

Considering voters were denied standing in 2020 election fraud cases, and they are directly involved in the process, I would think the standard for standing would have to involve some direct affect on the person who brings suit. Otherwise, no matter how hard they promote infanticide (in or out of the womb), the law does not affect them, thus, no standing.

I would like to see Wendy and Beto marry. Yes, I know it would be a May/December thing...but their ideological affection will overcome age.

Then I want them to move to a blue state. I have one in mind, but don't want to alienate anyone on this board. Heck, I may even set up a Go Fund Me for their relocation. :laugh:

That might serve another purpose as Beto''s beaver teeth might be able to gnaw that disgusting thing off her face.

God help us and save us from this insanity!
Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.
