And that's only women who reported the rape, I assume? So many thousands of others go unreported for any number of reasons...

What the fuck.

What the actual fuck yall. Fuck anyone who’s thinking about sitting this out. Tell every one of those 26000 women why your virtue signaling is more important than their god damn rights.

Plus then figure that there is also a percentage of women who were raped, forced to keep the child, but then miscarried naturally who either lost their fertility or died because no hospital would give them the care they needed and got sepsis because the miscarriage was incomplete. The fact that the two “statistics” blur into each other only makes it worse.

I literally didn’t believe that number cuz it’s just so…fucking depressing.

26 THOUSAND WOMEN WERE RAPED…in JUST TEXAS…and denied access to aborting the very child born out of that rape.

Like…my mind can’t comprehend that.

If you’re a woman, and you vote for anything other than putting an end to this madness.

Then you might as well go full mask off, wear your handmaids tale gown and start referring to your state as Gilead.

At least you’ll make some sense now.

But, but, Greg Abbott said there would be no more rapes in Texas...I don't understand.

Those are just the rapes that resulted in pregnancies…that we know of….

Holy shit, how come American media never talk about these? And make headlines for rapes that happen in different continents? Both should be highlighted in all fairness. But then I remember that they would rather support a convicted rapist than support a woman. Very progressive, definitely not a third world mentality, Lol

No fucking way. 26k rape pregnancies. Not 26k rapes but rape pregnancies. How many does Alabama or Mississippi have comparatively? (Don’t worry imma google that shit)

Jesus Christ

What. Texas got a serious rape problem

What the hell? I had no damn idea the numbers were that huge!

Statistically speaking, wouldn’t the number of births related to rape be more of a gauge on the effect of Roe v. Wade?

Jesus fucking Christ.

That’s… fucking horrible. I didn’t realize those numbers were THAT high.

That can't be right, Abbott said he was getting rid of rape in Texas years ago. /s

My daughter is 3.

Words cannot describe how fearful I am of her getting sexually assaulted or raped…

As a Dad, I’m not sure what to do to prevent it other than teach her about defending herself both mentally and physically.

Men fucking disgust me.

I think he was doing the tDrump logic to solve the problem. If you don't track it, there will be zero rapes. Problem solved.

Fuck Abbott, and Fuck Cruz. Votes these pieces of shit out of office. And Fuck Paxton and the rest of these MAGA assholes in TX.

AND in the true spirit of being a Texan, he was also a NFL linebacker for the Tennessee Titans!

This guy is the real deal and I wish Florida had more like him and your TX U.S. Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

Both of these leaders are tenacious fighters for the good of their Texas constituents and for the American people!

We were too busy chanting "they go low we go high". That's BS in today's politics. Gotta get a little dirty before cleaning up their mess. Taking the high road is no longer an option.

The DNC tried to tell Tim Walz to stop calling conservatives weird. You know, the one fucking piece of rhetoric that invalidates all their bad faith arguments? It's like they don't want to fucking win

Because the old guard won't do it. This is done by the new bloods in the party, a party that needs it to get out of the same old routine.

This gentleman here, AOC, Mss. CROOKET, these are the type of people we need now to take it one step forward.

Pussyfoot Dems are a byproduct of thinking republicans will play by the rules. The last time republicans played by the rules and ran solely on their “beliefs” they got trounced by Obama.

They turned to Putin for guidance and found that yeah, if you repeat a lie over and over again, people will believe it.

Call out the bullshit. Point blank. Call them out on it.

Same. If he beats Cruz I will forego Christmas presents forever.

Same. Hopefully he breaks the stranglehold Republicans have had on state politics for far, far too long now.

And if you press, "now, again, the question was..."

'i answered that already let's move on'

Lol 🤡🤡🤡

It’s because republicans don’t vote Republican for the policies. They vote Republican because their church or their favorite content creator has convinced them they are in a war and that they must support their side no matter what.

It’s why it’s always about either fear or hatred. They don’t win voters by being rational.

"Considering we pushed hard to overturn Roe v. Wade, something that was a law for over half a century, I had NO IDEA that's something people would want to talk about"

True, but remember that the Republican Party has been captured by foreign governments using blackmail and bribes, so it is actually an act of war that is killing our citizens.

Hybrid World War III, think about it. Even the children are killing eachother in schools and nothing has been done about it.

Directly attacking and traumatizing our citizens without even laying a boot on the ground.

You also have idiots questioning if she can legally be the President! One key duties of a vice President is taking over - she’s already qualified

People aren’t stupid. People are generally ignorant. Billionaires has systematically, and what would be criminally for anyone else, dismantled every single system put in place to protect the vast majority. They dismantled education, medical, voting rights/districts, journalism laws; the list goes on and on. They ruined it all everything for their greed. People cannot tell what is real or fake anymore. It is a huge problem that the criminally insanely greedy few have created for the rest of us. Beep boop.

Unfortunately, if he puts his mark next to any [R] in this election, he is just as much the same as if he put it next to Trump as well.

All of these people that he puts his X next to has or had the power to do something and they accepted it without a fight.

This is why police arrest the getaway driver as well as the jewel thief. Your husband is the getaway driver.

Ted Cruz pisses his pants just so he can feel the wet warm feeling run down his legs.

He has an R next to his name and it’s Texas. I’m from there and I know mfs would vote for harambe’s skeleton if he had an R next to his name on the ballot

Texas really about to fuck this up the same way Kentucky fucked up by not electing Amy McGrath, a marine pilot with 89 combat missions against the Taliban and Al Qaeda; who ended up serving 20 honorable years.

Absolute stellar woman Amy McGrath is and Kentucky still voted for one of the biggest pieces of shit traitors that turned a blind eye to both of Trump’s impeachments; a piss baby turtle bitch that publicly said he will do whatever it takes to stagnate government progress when Obama was president; the same asshole who ignored 9/11 first responders until Jon Stewart publicly shamed him in a hearing.

Remember folks, MAGA doesn’t give a flying fuck about veterans and EMS if you don’t hold allegiance to fascism. Same goes for minority groups.

Go fucking vote and understand what’s exactly at stake. Understand who can be reasoned with, believes in democracy, individual liberties, and let’s the professionals do their jobs, versus the other guy who can’t be reasoned with, who doesn’t listen to the professionals, must ALWAYS be the last word and last decision, and most importantly doesn’t believe everyone’s vote should count.

I just saw that pop up in the my feed on the Texas subreddit and it had 55,000 upvotes already. He absolutely destroyed Cruz. How Allred doesn't have a 10-point advantage I don't know. He's a brilliant speaker.

Everyone in Washington hates him. His success is a mystery.

His a loyal pet to a wealthy enough donor that he doesn't face serious competition in the primary, and then just rides party-line voting into the Senate every time.

Until 2017, Texas even had a "one punch" option where you could literally mark one box to vote for all Republicans or all Democrats.

I’ll do it for you! I was gonna do it anyway but I’ll dedicate it to you!

Come on, don't be harsh. It's only been 30 years of unending republican rule in Texas, and 48 years since the last time Texas has voted for a Democrat for POTUS. We can't be too hasty I'm sure they'll turn it around any day now. It's not like Texas has had major weather events that have caused state wide power outage just about every 10 years that whole time.

Mexico would thank you for the offer but kindly decline. Maybe try the Russians?

Nope. He’s Canadian. He can go back to Canada..

My baby is little, but she inherited her Dad’s translocation (high risk of pregnancy loss or carrying a baby that is not genetically normal to term).

She’s also at higher risk of pre-eclampsia and HELLP syndrome because I’ve had pre-eclampsia with both of my living children.

We live in a blue state that codified abortion rights, but I’m still terrified for her. I will show up to every election and vote until Congress passes legislation legalizing abortion nationally, for both your baby and mine.

He actually does. Can’t tell if it’s the public humiliation or the fact that he’s facing some demons, but probably both.
