Anna Rupani, co-executive director of Fund Texas Choice, talks with Rachel Maddow about the threat to women's right to an abortion posed by the new Texas anti-abortion law, and the outpouring of support to her organization that helps women access their right to have an abortion beyond the reach of Texas restrictions.

#Texas #MSNBC #Abortion
Texas should be a country .
Free to be Unfree .
Keep the Lone Star for one thought , one prayer
and one miserable place to live .
I agree, they should have let them succeed, let the decent people out, and just cut em loose, no help from the feds, see how they fare with their grids and retrogressive laws.
@Sojo Truth Secede, yes.
Texas has officially changed its name to “Texastan.” It’s very fitting.
You would think that Texas Republicans would be focused on fixing the electric and water grids in their state after what happened last winter, but nope. Instead they’re laser focused on treading on the rights of women, and turning Texas into Texastan.
I wonder what new sharia laws Mullah Abbott will sign into law next in Texastan.
@YouTube LOVES Soft Leftists
What does any of that have to do with the subject.?
OPENED DOOR
No more self abuse… God says no tossing. So tossers out there are murderers.
No worries.. TX will take the rest of the red states and secede.. hopefully liberals will finally be happy
@YouTube LOVES Soft Leftists Guess what happens when 2/3 of the women in Texas stop voting for Republicans, kiddo.
@Richard MacLean tossers means wankers in the UK.
Republican ideology is not too dissimilar to that of the Taliban.
@YouTube LOVES Soft Leftists why should the woman pay if the guy doesn’t want the baby either? Surely it should be 50/50? Men need to take responsibility too.
@Gabriel Lawson grow up you child
Re: abortion bounty hunters… Tex Reps AHoles can call themselves the US/Texas Taliban! (BTW TexTal not mine.. From other Commentor–, Chonq Monk ▶might’ve spelled that wrong◀)
That would be you that’s taliban they LOVE killing babies just like you.
Then don’t come here we don’t want you!
Republicans want full control over their own bodies when it comes to Covid-19 with masks and vaccinations, but they want full control over other womens bodies when it comes to abortion. Totally, totally inconsistent….
@YouTube LOVES Soft Leftists The baby still must be supported, the woman may not have sufficient income on her own.
Abortion is murder
@Gabriel Lawson forcing a woman to birth a child is no different than raping her. But Republicans thinks that’s ok too.
@Charlotte that has got to be the dumbest comment I have read in months
@Gabriel Lawson So is not wearing a mask!
Thank goodness for people like these groups who will help these women get the services they need. Women with financial resources or rich families will always be able to get an abortion. They can afford to travel anywhere. It’s the rest of us that need to stand up to this. These politicians seem to want to target those that need these services most. Shouldn’t be surprised though. They clearly have no respect for women and would prefer we go back in time when there were obstacles in our way to have autonomy over our bodies.
The woman that can’t afford abortions usually can’t afford to feed themselves either, your right. They uses government resources to raise the ones they have and themselves, let the abortions happen and make it a mandate that you must be gainfully employed or have a partner willing to lay for the children
Ok Lesley, your argument might seem logic.. Can you help me understand why do women want abortion taking into consideration that
“ Plan B one pill “ is available OTC in Walmart without a doctor Rx for $35 only .. and it is effective up to 4 or 5 days after the encounter?
I really hope these women find pills on the Internet to end the pregnancy. The back alley is no longer needed since we have the Internet. Upper middle-class and wealthy women will just fly to Colorado.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
They just have to go to the next state!
The new American Taliban is enacting it’s facist agenda on a state-by-state basis. Rolling back women’s rights, I think women should start wearing head scarfs in Texas.
@Adam Taylor No worries.. TX will take the rest of the red states and secede.. hopefully liberals will finally be happy
@Adam Taylor lol calm down Chad.
@PC Principal shut up karen
@ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe They’d never secede. The red states are wholly dependent on blue states to survive. If they tried to secede they would crumble within a month. Red states are nothing but a drain on the federal reserve. The reserve that blue states constantly contribute to. Republicans are leeches who rely on socialism to survive.
@Adam Taylor exactly. If this bs law dosen’t affect you personally, the next one they push through will. Watch.
Leaving Texas sounds like a good idea in general.
Leave
The real answer is flipping TX blue and bringing it back into the Civilized World.
@ILLEGITIMATE DEMENTED Joe And who is going to pay every time a hurricane comes in and wipes everything out? lol
@Joni Beehive I you know then you should tell the world … Or stfu and be a part of it ..
@Joni Beehive I think you understand .
The fact that a new underground railroad is needed to protect women shows you how horrific this unconstitutional and inhumane law is.
u like killing babies?
i taught everyone in america had rights. how can women be demoted to breeding mares in america. its scary and inhumane
by choice thats how
Underground Railroad 2.0 Way to go Texas!
This is why I want to get out of this Republican state!
Isn’t it incredulous, that the same people who are Pro-Life are anti-mask and anti-vaccine? We’re going to take away YOUR freedom to make a decision about your body and future, but how dare you take away MY freedom to determine what I put in or on my body even if it means savings lives. Crazy town!!
So is Texas Afghanistan?, under the leadership of Governor Taliban Abbot
Yes – is the answer to your question actually to be clear the new Afghanistan.
BLM has shown the way to deal with systemic injustice. Texas women need their own equivalent organisation.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My body my choice also applies to my right to decide if I want to have a child.
just say no and keep murder out of it.
The inability to say “pregnant women” is doing a lot to hobble Roe here.
Texans, between Covid and this. You are not looking good in the world
This is the GeStaPo and the Blockwart principle of the 3rd Reich. Not love but betray thy neighbour. Good luck 🍀👍 with that.
How can private citizens be allowed to intervene in the doctor – patient relationship? HIPPA laws prevent it. Citizens would be practicing medicine without a license. It would be the same as citizens suing an attorney because they represented their clients. Can citizens sue physicians for administering blood transfusion or vaccines because the citizens are against either? There’s been a dummying down of the Supreme Court.
