1. Abortion is murder

2. Excellent job Texas!

3. Read the article about the ugly history of those border agents. I think the 7th to last paragraph starts with "In 1919" might be interesting to read. Look at the last sentence.

4. Most hospitals in Texas, or really anywhere in the US, won't even give you a hospital pregnancy test until you've missed 2 periods. In other words, 8 weeks

5. I’d argue it places an undue burden on patients seeking care making the law illegal. But I can only hold an opinion on that. Sure I’m objectively right but still.

6. So glad to see the BS abortion law is being tried!!!!!! I commend this Alan Baird to the fullest…..screw Texas law and all people that think they have the right to tell a woman what to do with her body!!!!! 💜🏆

7. Women and children need to get out of Texas now it’s not safe

8. California should instate an anti-gun law that puts a $10,000 bounty, for anyone who buys or supplies guns. Since now that we can skip the constitution.

9. Ever noticed the women protesting abortion are women no self respecting man would ever copulate with?

10. How do you NOT know you're pregnant after 6 weeks of conception? If I was a woman who was sexually assaulted, I would start IMMEDIATLY go to the doctor to prevent the pregnancy from taking place.

11. Democrats fight for all the wrong things..

12. The stupidity 🤦

13. How is this not against my HIPPA RIGHTS?!?!

14. Save the kids

15. Kind of feels like the timing is suspect. Its almost like the "my body, my choice" and "what happens in a persons body is a decision between a person and their doctor" might come about in certain other mandates coming down the pipeline. 🤔🤔

16. Wait. Is this about vaccine freedom or abortion?

17. i n t e l l e c t w e b s you are the best i n t e l l e c t w e b s you are awesome

18. Time 4 Biden to put some Judges on the S.Court.

19. Choose life. You MOTHER did!

20. U.S. Supreme Court
    
    Larkin v. Grendel's Den, Inc., 459 U.S. 116 (1982)
    
    Larkin v. Grendel's Den, Inc.

    No. 81-878

    Argued October 4, 1982

    Decided December 13, 1982

    459 U.S. 116

    Syllabus

    A Massachusetts statute (§ 16C) vests in the governing bodies of schools and churches the power to prevent issuance of liquor licenses for premises within a 500-foot radius of the church or school by objecting to the license applications. Appellee restaurant operator's application for a liquor license was denied when a church located 10 feet from the restaurant objected to the application. Appellee then sued the licensing authorities in Federal District Court, claiming that § 16C, on its face and as applied, violated, inter alia, the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. The District Court held that § 16C is facially unconstitutional under the Establishment Clause, and the Court of Appeals affirmed.

    Held: Section 16C violates the Establishment Clause. Pp. 459 U. S. 120-127.

    (a) Section 16C is not simply a legislative exercise of zoning power but delegates to private, nongovernmental entities power to reject certain liquor license applications, a power ordinarily vested in governmental agencies. Under these circumstances, the deference normally due a legislative zoning judgment is not merited. Pp. 459 U. S. 120-122.

    (b) The valid secular objective of 16C in protecting schools and churches from the commotion associated with liquor outlets may readily be accomplished by other means. Pp. 459 U. S. 123-124.

    (c) The churches' power under 16C is standardless, calling for no reasons, findings, or reasoned conclusions, and can be seen as having a "primary" and "principal" effect of advancing religion. Pp. 459 U. S. 125-126.

    (d) Section 16C substitutes the unilateral and absolute power of a church for the reasoned decisionmaking of a public legislative body acting on evidence and guided by standards on issues with significant economic and political implications, and thus enmeshes churches in the processes of government and creates the danger of "[p]olitical fragmentation and divisiveness on religious lines," Lemon v. Kurzman, 403 U. S. 602, 403 U. S. 623. Few entanglements could be more offensive to the spirit of the Constitution. Pp. 459 U. S. 126-127.

    662 F.2d 102, affirmed.

    BURGER, C.J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BRENNAN, WHITE, MARSHALL, BLACKMUN, POWELL, STEVENS, and O'CONNOR, JJ., joined. REHNQUIST, J., filed a dissenting opinion, post, p. 459 U.S. 127

21. If this isnt removed EU should ban products from Texas

22. And that is why I want to move to Texas that is a great state love it.. it's Trump territory

23. Too bad our Justice Dept doesn't do anything to actually make Americans safer. And seeing how my body my choice is now a big joke after the vaccine mandates, you should just accept it.

24. This law is a free pass for the man.

25. Abortion is premeditated first-degree murder

26. How is a law allowing private citizens to regulate the lives of others hard to challenge in court!?

27. Didn't knew the Taliban also rules Texanistan

28. Everybody is pro choice until a vaccine is involved 🥴

29. Stay strong Texas, God is on your side. Don't let those Demons, those Heathens, Sinners and Snakes in the Garden win. Every soul is precious, no matter if born or still in the womb.

30. Jeremiah 1:5
    “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart”

    Psalm 139:15-16
    "My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."

    Luke 16:15
    And Jesus said,
    “You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God’s sight."

    Revelation 21:8
    "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

31. 'mandatory breeding I decide and you're punished for not complying with' doesn't have the same ring as "pro life" but a sicko is a sicko

32. obiden’s phony administration and his supporters are going down as the worst group of humans in history.

33. Great job Texas #Itsokay

34. And to think that Elon Musk went to Texas for the better.

35. There are other choices besides abortion. So many different ways to prevent unwanted pregnancies like birth control and even the morning after pill.

36. I can't say that I agree but I do understand the rage on both sides. HOWEVER, wouldn't it be great to see this swift action take place every time the 2nd amendment is violated?!

37. Why should the woman be bound to keep the unborn child while the guy can be freed from child support when pregnancy goes its full term ?

38. Trump for SuperMax… and his GanG… WHEN – WHY IS THERE BEATING ABOUT THE BUSH !!! "Neither let us be slandered from our duty by false accusations against us, nor frightened from it by menaces of destruction to the Government nor of dungeons to ourselves. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith, let us, to the end, dare to do our duty… "
    [Abraham Lincoln]

    He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

    2 Corinthians 5: 21
    For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

40. This is actually a brilliant move by Texas to keep liberals from moving to Texas when they want to GTFO of California. Salesforce is willing to pay the moving fees of their liberal workers that want to move back to California.

43. 3 -Cheers 🥂 for Texas new law,

    TEXAS VS. BIG TECH  Gov. Greg Abbott, R-TX, has signed a law preventing Big Tech companies form censoring users “based on their political beliefs.” The new law prevents social media companies from blocking, banning, deplatforming, demonetizing, or restricting users based on their viewpoints. "Social media websites have become our modern-day public square," he said. "They are a place for healthy public debate where information should be able to flow freely — but there is a dangerous movement by social media companies to silence conservative viewpoints and ideas. That is wrong, and we will not allow it in Texas. Now it needs to become law in all 🇺🇸50 States.
