OK, that one got me. Texas is just such a shit state that I didn't even question the headline. It wasn't until I clicked so see what dumbass excuse they used that I realized it was The Onion. 🤣
Yeah. We're really at a point where I think it's real until I check the source.
Same, ate the onion on this one, had to check.
“Should an expectant woman be found in possession of luggage of any kind—even a small handbag or clutch, which we all know can be used to smuggle mifepristone—she will be subject to the full force of the Texas healthcare system.
Holy crap that's savage
Dear god the Onion is scary.
It's the fact that this is completely plausible that's scary.
I mean this is effectively what has been proposed by members of the republican party.
I hear that women in Texas have to get their husbands permission to buy coat hangers.
They just have to ask them to punch them in the stomach and kick them down the stairs. Way easier.
Don't you just get that with all small town Texan men?
They just have to hold off the gut punches for 9 months when they know they are getting a son.
Well shit, the way things are going, I got that onion halfway to my mouth before realizing what it was...
Same here. It wasn't until I went to click in to try and figure out whether it was a clickbait title, or just Texas being Texas, that I noticed.
Damn, I ate this until I saw the community name. This world is wack
The best Onion headlines are the ones I see and slowly inhale instead of laughing.
Maybe "most accurate" is more apropros than "best."
gestating woman
"How goes the gestation, woman?"
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffemale
Get in the gestation wagon, we’re going cruising.
I was wait, what? before I saw the source. But I would not put it past the GOP to actually do this.
Or they just enforce ankle monitors for all known pregnant women.
Probably actually already the case as it enables them to leave the state to get an abortion. (Afaik facilitating an abortion too is illegal)
Don't worry, I'm sure the Republicans will step in to make sure that only people, not corporations, can be punished under that law
From Texas. I very nearly ate the onion
they are leaving anyway. got legal weed in Illinois. js
