I feel for Texas women here. Life threatening, yes it’s going to threaten the chances of her future ability to give birth. How many conservative Texas women will listen this time?

Unfortunately, I've lost my faith in all of them.

Thanks for a very informative article. However, we should not lose faith in all conservative women in Texas.

I remember participating in a text bank session for Beto in 2022. A lady responded to the initial message saying something to the effect that she was a Republican and will vote for Abbott. I thanked her for letting us know and moved on to other responses. She responded back and asked if Beto is pro choice. I replied yes and sent her a brief message with Beto’s position on abortion. She replied back that then she will vote for Beto.

Hopefully conservative women in Texas will be more concerned after these developments but some may still be unaware of the implications of this law on their families. So Democrats will need to reach out to them to earn their votes.

as Mika B is raising hell on Morning Joe first story of the morning show...and she is lambasting Paxton for his cruelty towards Kate Cox, I can found not a peep from TCDP or Tex Dems. The Facebook link is disconnected, the last Twitter post was Oct 7. No Bulletion Brief has been issued in 2 weeks and only one has been issued in Gayden's term. There is not a single digital digit coulld find with any Tarrant or Texas's D's voice attached. Without Dem outrage and response the story quickly fades and fades and fades away. Take a poll on the issues and Texans are right, take the pulse of Texas D leaders and u will find none.

Kate left the State ....are his MAGA minions gonna track down and sue the gas station that filled up the car, or google maps who gave her directions, not to mention the phone co's and Internet providers that allowed Kate to converse with docs and clinics Did she fly,even better, sue Southwest and TSA folks who allowed her to pass and ticket agents.

Crystal Gayden is a lawyer and Chair of Tarrant Democratic Party or as one pol described it...the largest MAGA County in the country.. Maybe the Chair can explain the legal ramifications for any and all who assisted
