Gov. Abbott: Abortion bill won’t force rape victims to have babies, Texas will ‘eliminate’ rapists

[BlueTex]

This poses an interesting question.... Has his administration NOT been going out and arresting and prosecuting rapists?

Texas Governor Greg Abbott weighed in on a burning question related to the state’s recently passed bill banning abortions after six weeks: what about victims of rape?

During a Tuesday press conference, Abbott said the law gives rape victims up to six weeks to get abortion and thusly “does not do that [force victims to have their assaulter’s child].”

“Let’s be clear: rape is a crime,” Abbott said. “And Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists from the streets of Texas by aggressively going out and arresting them and prosecuting them and getting them off the streets.”

In reality, they catch 35% of rapists.

What a difference a border makes!

MEXICO CITY — Mexico’s supreme court voted unanimously on Tuesday to decriminalize abortion, a striking step in a country with one of the world’s largest Catholic populations and a move that contrasts sharply with tighter restrictions introduced across the border in Texas.
Eight of the 11 supreme court judges had expressed support for decriminalization in arguments that began Monday, making the decision virtually inevitable.

So they're going to arrest rapists before they rape and impregnate someone? Good to know.

Abbott is clueless.

Abbott is clueless.

Abbott knows what he's doing. People who support him are clueless.

Abbott is clueless.

Abbott’s and DeSantis’ races will be entertaining and telling, both reported to have WH aspirations and need to keep their seats to move on, I think.

What's he talking about? He and the Republican legistature ARE rapists: that's what their law is.

Quite so.

Texas GOP bets on hard right turn amid changing demographics

Republicans in America’s largest conservative state for years racked up victories under the slogan “Keep Texas Red,” a pledge to quash a coming blue wave that Democrats argued was inevitable given shifting demographics.

Doesn't matter, if you redistrict everything into an Escher painting.

Either Abbott is suggesting Texas will invent precognition or he's gonna still have rapists because that's how time works.

 

[DataPoint]

41% is good enough to get re-elected with the evangelical white vote in Texas, but if he loses three more points even Matthew Mc could beat him with his eyes closed

I say we give Texas back to Mexico.

 

[Loulit01]

I say we give Texas back to Mexico.

I say we take Texas back for the United States.

 

[Checkerboard Strangler]

“And Texas will work tirelessly to make sure that we eliminate all rapists..."

Yeah, by changing the definition of rape.
Stop insulting people's intelligence, we know Abbott is a fan of Todd Akin.

"If it's a legitimate rape, a woman's body has ways of shutting that whole thing down."

 

[CaughtInThe]

There are women in Texas who have role models who are Texas Republicans.

Let that sink in.

 

[DataPoint]

I know women who have admired Wayne Christian and Louis Gohmert and Dan Patrick.

That is amazingly wrong.

Good for Governor Abbott! Now he just needs to “eliminate” winter and that electrical grid thingy will be taken care of, too!

When he becomes president he can in build a wall around the whole country and solve the illegal immigrant problem.

I support Texas’s decision to stop being the pro-rape state.

I support Texas’s decision to stop being the pro-rape state.

Agreed.. A great question next year that his opponent should ask is why Abbott didn’t do this in SEVEN years he has been governor. Why wait till now?
