Texas GOP Wish List Includes Death Penalty for Abortion Patients
"We're talking about the official priority list of the governing party of the second-most populous state in America," said one advocate and author.

Abortion is murder
Forcing an unwanted birth doesn't lead to a fulfilling life for the parent or the kid
We should also start penalizing people who have miscarriages right? Since that is essentially manslaughter then (I hope you get that this is a joke, just like your stance on abortion)
They're already trying to outlaw miscarriages, and effectively have outlawed it in at least one place because of the overlap in how similarly the procedures technically work.
They're not pro life. They're not even pro birth. They're pro control over women. They're still salty that women can vote.
Man, I'm so sick of you fucking crazies screwing with women's rights because you think you know more than medical doctors.
You understand your crowd didn't give a rat's fucking ass about abortion until the evangelical leaders decided to make it a national outrage issue in the 80s, right?
All you are is a poor manipulated tool of Christo fascist agenda set decades ago.
And you're so bought in on this at this point that you can't back out, because it would make you look weak, or lose your friends, or whatever. But that's on your for not doing the right thing here and supporting women's rights, and supporting the mountain of medical evidence that backs pro choice.
Instead, you just repeat the same, tired horseshit your heard at your last church sermon or from fox News.
So, if you're not interested in helping women regain rights they had stolen from them, yet again, then you can fuck right off.
Today random, but you’re not Tyfud from XdO are you?
Haha, holy crap, yeah, that was me a very, very long time ago. Several lifetimes ago it feels. 🙂 I still have a few long term friends from xdo, but I don't really game with them much anymore.
What'd you play? 🙂
lol! Holy shit and so random. I doubt you knew me on DAoC, but I was on Hibernia/Nimue when you all played Midgard.
I played a Lurikeen nightshade name Cyno and then a Celt valewalker named Chaka. I was in smaller guilds mostly, but TPG did recruit me for a short time.
Dude, I think I remember your Keen NS Cyno on Nimue. :) Crazy how small of a community this stuff is sometimes. :) Awesome to see some familiar faces on Lemmy.
How've things been since then? I'm sure you've lived a similar amount of lifetimes hah. Who knew we'd all end up getting old, just like everyone else before us? :)
Such a small world, even on the internet! I’ve only ever seen this name and spelling this way from gaming and thought I’d ask.
Things are great for me! In my 40s, but still feeling young. Can’t game as much because married with kid and dogs, but I do from time to time. Getting hard to be competitive without those twitch reactions. Ha!
How about yourself?
Ah, glad to hear it! 40s are the new 30's or something they tell me. :)
Same here for the most part. Almost in my mid 40's, got married to a player named Farah/Firah (we were dating before we started playing DAoC though to be fair), sadly things didn't work out, got divorced in my 30's, then remarried recently in my 40's and we're just enjoying life. No kids, 1 dog, 2 cats sort of thing.
I've been a software engineer most of my life, and now I manage/run a few teams of them at a large enterprise. Looking to get out of B2B here soon and take a stab at my lifelong dream: Making video games. Hoping to do that next year. I've been working with an Indie shop on my own time for the last couple years and we've released a couple games on Steam/Epic, so going to take a stab at doing that for realsies. ;)
In terms of gaming, lol, yeah man. I'm losing to one kid after the other nowdays haha. I got into WoW for a bit, like everyone, but ultimately I just play casual games like Overwatch(2) and Genshin Impact (Would not recommend that one, hah, I play for family mostly). Just trying to get back into the swing of things and find that enjoyment of gaming I feel like I lost so long ago.
I love that we’re having this little conversation in the midst of a thread about politics. 😂
That’s awesome and I’m glad to read that things are working out for you! Being childless can be pretty nice to do what you want and invest in your partner. Pets are always nice. Our kitty passed April 1, 2020 (awful date). We have 2 Shiba Inus now after our other shiba passed 2 years ago.
I’m happy to hear that you’re looking to pursue your passion and I wish you the best of luck! I do SEO for two major child care companies (national and international), but want to switch careers to either IT or front end web development or full stack (eventually). I just need to really think this through and start on a path.
As for games, I’ve been engaged with Baldur’s Gate 3 and HellDivers 2 mostly lately. I am big into D&D now and play in a campaign and then DM two others. What games have you worked on? I’d love to try one out!
haha, right? What an odd place to catch up with an old acquaintance :)
If you ever want to go down the full stack or front end dev path, just drop me a line. I'll give you my personal work email in a DM and you can reach out for answers to questions/guidance. Been in that industry for almost 27 years now, and picked up a thing or two that might help. ;)
One of the games I've helped with is more of a tool, and it's for D&D GM's believe it or not ;) I don't do tabletop as much as I used to anymore, but I got into this project because my regular group wanted to try and play remotely and they found this in pre-release and I tracked the owner down and offered to help work on the features my gaming group needed, pro-bono.
He took me up on my offer, and I've been helping out here and there ever since :)
It's called "Game Master Engine" (GME), feel free to check it out, there's a free version of it up, and if you want to GM/DM a game and invite others into it, then you can pay the GM license for it (absolutely no obligation to purchase this btw, I don't get any of the proceeds, only buy if you want/enjoy it), and there's a couple DLC modules for it now.
The owner (Dan the DM) is a super cool and chill dude. He's done the vast majority of work on this thing, I just jump in if there's something difficult they're trying to do and need help with, and also provide technical guidance and direction on the project whenever he needs as his background isn't really on the engineering side.
Next year, planning to go in with Dan and work on some actual games (instead of tools). I've done a few F2P games released in the wild years ago in Unity 3D, but never a concerted effort with an established shop to do a game from scratch. :) I'm looking forward to it, and working with Dan in a more side-by-side capacity.
By that logic, so is jerking off. Hell, sex us murder because millions of seeds will die without being able to have a full, fruitful life..
Hell, not jerking off is a death penalty crime because your body will kill and reabsorb millions of sperm cells!
Should we all get the death penalty now?
And state sanctioned killings are not?
You people have very flexible morals when it suits you.
Your logic is sound, but it's a waste for this.
Allow me to use the same amount of brain power in my rebuttal as you used in your argument:
No.
Another day, another fascist account to block
You need to go back on your meds
With the population growing the way it is, we should honestly be encouraging more abortions.
Mars exists for a reason and earth can hold up to about 11b people and for miscarriage it's not like abortion where you take medication and it kills the baby miscarriage is smth that happens that no one can prevent if it happens
Mars is not your backyard that by planting a patch of grass and watering it will turn the whole planet into a lush grassland. And speaking of abortion, how many orphans have you adopted so far?
You're both delusional, and an idiot.
Yeah no matter what some rich assholes want to convince everyone, 8 billion is already to much. Imagine every city becoming 25 percent more crowded everywhere. Just no.
We finally agreed on smth rich people are assholes
The laws criminalizing abortion also effectively criminalize miscarriages because of the way they investigate things and the fact that dilation and evacuation/curettage is frequently needed for miscarriages that occur after 10 weeks or so. The conservatives in question will refuse to accept that the fetus died in utero without any intervention and prosecute women that have to have dead fetal tissue removed to prevent sepsis, save their lives, and preserve future fertility if that's what they want.
Objectively isn't
