In what may be some of the most horrifying footage yet from the extremist forced-birth movement, undercover video from Hood County, Texas Democrats Chair Adrienne Quinn Martin shows several Hood County Republican officials attending a presentation by Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX), a group that advocates for the death penalty for abortion and IVF, including for pregnant minors.

Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell are seen at a meeting featuring AATX hosted by the group True Texas Project, which has been labeled as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and has ties to white nationalist Nick Fuentes. True Texas Project has hosted events with Ted Cruz and disgraced Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.

AATX also advocates for the outlawing of contraception and abortion even in cases of rape and incest. Scott London and Steve Harrell, along with multiple other Texas Republicans, have signed an AATX pledge to outlaw abortion in all cases.

You know things are going well when representatives of a mainstream political party have policy alignment with The Taliban

It's like they've been trying to make sure they match the Y'all Qaeda name.
