As of 12:01am Wednesday morning, Roe v. Wade was effectively overturned through inaction by SCOTUS. At issue is a draconian Texas law called S.B. 8, the most dangerous one in the nation, which bans abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, or at around six weeks. The Texas legislature and Governor Abbott knew and understood in enacting this law that it was patently unconstitutional under
How does one protect oneself from this free-for-all? Well, for one, no sex. Ever. Ladies, you'll have to do without. But, so will the guys. Then, and I can't stress this enough, TRUST NO ONE. I mean NO ONE. Friends and family have a way of turning on you, especially when there's a substantial amount of money involved. Next, pack your damn bags. Get the HELL out of TexASS. If you value your privacy, your freedom to choose, your reproductive rights, as well as anything else you hold dear, get the hell outta there. Seriously, women need to band together, and help each other get out of that godforsaken shithole hellbent on controlling women, because that's ALL it is. If this type of control continues to spread like a damn cancer across this country, it may be time to relocate abroad. Yes, I know, not everybody can afford that. But we can--and should--help one another whenever possible.
Which begs the question: If this becomes a federal mandate, would other countries allow for asylum? As a catastrophist, I'm wondering if we're going to end up like the women of Afghanistan. :(
What the actual F?? I'm sitting here literally astounded. I just don't get how we are suddenly moving so far backwards in the aspect of women's rights.
So if the Supreme Court is allowing private individuals the authority to enforce an unconstitutional provision, what remedy is there? "So this can’t be constitutional, right? Not if SCOTUS actually follows precedent. In general, a state may not outsource to private individuals the authority to enforce an unconstitutional prohibition, as that would encourage and result in end-runs around the constitution. For example, Texas once tried to pass a law to insulate white-only political primaries from federal review, but the Supreme Court properly found that was unconstitutional in Terry v. Adams back in 1953." ?
There's also the possibility some people in search of that $10,000 will start checking women's trashcans to see if there's "too many" sanitary napkins. And how long before TX lawmakers set a maximum on how many kotex/tampons a woman can legally buy before facing prosecution? God help us. God help us.
I am liking this because of your excellence in clarifying what texas has done. I’ve run out of words now.

Too bad Abbott wasn't aborted.
Another reason to despise TX… why are women still having to fight to keep our hard fought for and affirmed rights?
All while screaming my body my rights over mask mandates WTAF
