i stay away from most domestic affairs, unless they threaten lives or the stability of the state.

I approve of this move by the GOP. I'm sure Sleepy Joe is ecstatic about it as well.

 

[Magnus]

And the Dems seem to really want the GOP to win.

Not sure where you get that but ok.

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Well, you are making a conscious decision to kill a life so there may be repercussions and consequences for those actions.

The Republican Party of Texas is considering a platform that appears to endorse the death penalty for abortion providers and patients.

Texas delegates voted on a 2024 platform at the state’s GOP Convention on Saturday and aim to tally the votes by Wednesday to finalize their platform for the coming year. The proposal called for new legislation to solidify fetal personhood ideology into law, define abortion care as homicide and criminalize in vitro fertilization, first reported by feminist writer Jessica Valenti.

The 50-page document also includes a slew of other far-right ideas such as proclaiming that gender-affirming care is “child abuse,” requirements that Christianity and the Bible be taught in public schools, and clarifies that Texas “retains the right to secede from the United States.”

The platform is seen as more of a wish list than a binding document, but it’s a critical reflection of how far right the Texas Republican Party has moved in recent years.

The GOP platform calls for an “equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization,” and later states that “abortion is not healthcare, it is homicide.” The phrase “equal protection of the law” is used in the anti-choice movement to define abortion as homicide, and criminalizes abortion physicians and patients as murderers.

TEXAS GOP EYES DEATH PENALTY FOR ABORTIONS

Wow, this is really scary stuff. It's actually even hard to believe. What do you think?

Well, abortion is murder Lakookta.....

 

[jbrownson0831]

The GOP has gone completely mad – just look at their presumptive nominee for president.

Holding hands with Lakookta, Mrs. Jones?
You have reached a new low....

 

[jbrownson0831]

Has Texas gone completely mad? I feel sorry for women in Texas!

But, your party doesn't know what women are....and when you figure it out, you hate them.

 

[jbrownson0831]

Such is the fascist right’s contempt for individual liberty, the rule of law, and the Constitution.

Fascists are leftists goosestepper....you break every law ever written, and you have no idea what the Constitution is.

Well, you are making a conscious decision to kill a life so there may be repercussions and consequences for those actions.

And they have zero excuses for getting knocked up in the first place.

I guess it depends on priorities.

The theocrats may have determined that, while this is an important topic to many voters, it's not the MOST important topic. So it may be that they figure they can slip something like this in there and get away with it. They may be right, at least as long as Texas doesn't go purple.

They're not "right" at all. Republican women have miscarriages too. All of the women who were plaintiff's in the law suit last year were "pro-life" women who couldn't get health care for pregnancy complications and more than one of them nearly died as a result.

Those who would strip health care from pregnant women have no concerns whatsoever for the life of the mother or the fetus. THIS IS PURE HATRED AND MISOGYNY, which is the foundation of the so called "pro-life" movement.

IT IS LONG PAST TIME TO STRIP LEGISLATURES OF THE RIGHT TO DETERMINE WHICH HEALTH CARE TREATMENTS ARE LEGAL AND WHICH ARE NOT. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DETERMINE WHICH "TREATMENTS" SHOULD BE ILLEGAL.

I looked at the link and there is no mention of a "death penalty". Another example of left wing spin and fake news.

Voting for Trump is madness; the entire GOP has gone insane, not just Texas.

Not at all. We would happily vote for whomever the Republican candidate became....you and your whacked out buddies ensured it would be Trump because of your incessant and incoherent babbling on about him.

FIRST OF ALL: Huffington Post hates Republicans and Trump

SECONDLY: I did not hear Trump agree to this.

THIRDLY: It seems like Huffington Post is twisting this and making it Babylon Bee Material.

The "goosesteppers" are all right wingers. Fascism is a right wing political system which focuses on hyper patriotism, the power of the state, racism, misogyny, and a strong dicatator/

The only fascists in the USA have always been the right wingers - the KKK, the John Birch Society, and anyone promoting the idea that non-whites, women, Muslims or gays shouldn't have the same rights as straight white men.
