Summary

Texas has outlawed abortion and voting (pretty much) because the Republican Party is run by white people who stand in judgement of people who are not like them, people who feel they must protect their superiority, people without empathy who know better than mothers what they should do with their unborn, who know better than immigrants where they should be, who know better than everyone.

Tennessee, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, et cetera, saying, we can do that too. And whoever
