The Texas Republican anti-abortion laws are horrific. It is to control women, plain and simple. In my 20s, I wore a National Abortion Rights button:
Keep Your Rosaries
Off My Ovaries
Now my car has a bumper sticker:
Keep Your Theology
Off My Biology
Republican white men are terrified of becoming a minority. The white birth rate has been dropping for decades. Good for population control. It's expensive to raise a child.
Yup, the whites of this country, well some of em, are terrified that the brown and black people are a breedin and gonna take over this country soon. I say "bring it on" since the old white have screwed it up badly.
As much as I would love for the new cheerleading outfits to be real, they’re not.

It's withering sarcasm aimed at Texas Republicans.
Not to be taken literally.
I agree, Republican men are terrified of becoming and being treated the way they are treating minorities and women. When I first read "The Handmaid's Tale" it freaked me out. My calming device was to remind myself that I was one of "the frozen chosen," and it couldn't really happen anyway. Just fiction, I told myself. OMG...... Now I'm no longer among the chosen, the blinders have been removed from my eyes. I am of the belief now that Republicans are just plain evil beasts. Yes, It is damned expensive to raise a child, and women with privilege have access to abortion and birth control. Their babies won't be turned into cannon fodder. Women of color and poor women are needed to breed those future boots on the ground no matter what it costs to bring them up. I don't see this ending well.
My beliefs exactly. And women who are busy working while raising kids, while pregnant with yet another child, are too tired to protest and fight back.
What's going on here (in Texas) was their next logical choice after making access to birth control difficult. I'm very afraid.
