The (dis)honorable Attorney General of Texas is suing the federal government to βblock a federal rule that shields the medical records of womenβ who have crossed state lines to seek an abortion in states where it is still legal. What?
Will Texas women of childbearing age be forced to pull off the highway for a quick pregnancy test before being allowed to leave? Then what? Will they be arrested upon return and subjected to car searches to confiscate their contraceptives? Will Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri, and others follow suit? Enough is never enough with the bizarre Republican fixation on peopleβs sex lives.
Voters everywhere should let this five-alarm fire burn down these MAGA extremist ideas into ashes in the upcoming election. Stop this insanity and vote for Democrats who support womenβs reproductive freedom.
