This is batshit crazy and fucking dangerous.

In a suburban Fort Worth House runoff, Republicans debate killing women over abortion.

This is both batshit crazy and profoundly dangerous.

But then [North Richland Hills Republican David Lowe] went on to praise a House bill last session that would have made ending a pregnancy a potential capital crime..

In other words, Texas could kill the woman, along with anyone who encouraged her or helped.

Lowe’s final comment was chilling.

“Do we all agree that abortion is murder?” he asked the crowd.

“Absolutely. There should be consequences for it.”

His opponent:

“Abolishing abortion is important, but we can do that without giving women the death penalty,” Klick told the luncheon.

She talked about how pregnancy clinics counsel many teenage girls. At 18, they’d be eligible for the death penalty.

“Do we want to give those young girls the death penalty?” Klick asked.

And she's the more moderate of the two. Doesn't think we really need to kill women who've had abortions.

W.T.F.

The American Taliban is alive, well, and becoming more and more powerful each election.

I keep on telling dh we need to get the fuck out of this country, while we can do so in a controlled manner, with family and finances in order, before we become part of a rash of refugees sometime in the late 2020s.
