‘Disgusting’: Ocasio-Cortez reacts to Abbott’s comments on rape victims
Texas, “We are gonna eliminate rape”
Me, dude you couldn’t provide electricity in a minor snow storm. Trust me, I am from the northeast. Your sheit was minor.
@S Runnion Ah yes, I remember being 14 and edgy lmaoo
Texas is more than capable.
Unfortunately ERCOT is going along with the Biden administration and their “climate goals”
ERCOT shut down several coal and gas plants prior to the winter storm. They claimed the wind and solar would supply all the energy we would need for the mild winter their experts were predicting.
LOL!
Even if the windmills and solar panels had been winterized, the skies were covered with clouds throughout the whole event and the wind wasn’t blowing that much once the cold settled in.
Even in European countries with winterized windmills they sometimes fail them when the people need the energy the most. When it’s really cold and the winds are not blowing that hard.
Our grid was more reliable before we started depending on wind and solar.
Yes, I have received it.
@S Runnion the FACT is you are a liar who only spews vile and lies
I live in northeast my entire life but was in TX during snowpocalypse and for 4 days (give or take) it was worse than anything here, mostly ’cause they either didn’t listen or didn’t believe the weather forecasts and just don’t have the infrastructure to deal with snow and ice.
Do I blame their governor? Yes.
Would the same snowpocalypse in northeast barely register a yawn? Yes.
Since it was in TX, its destruction was magnified by their apparent lack of meteorological comprehension.
Sad that ppl died due to that. I hope TX learns from their mistakes.
The Man representing Texas seems to talk like a person suffering a brain issue or maybe a thinking problem that*s is causing him to sound like he*s in a 1950s B movie.
@Jacalyn 198724 I don’t think you’re altogether right about that. But would you agree except for those reasons at least late term ones shouldn’t be allowed?
@J R yes. I’ve never had an abortion, I’m a mother of two and to me there is a line where abortion shouldn’t happen unless those cases, I’d say probably by 12 weeks or so. By then the fetus is more developed and feels pain. But I’m also for healthcare, financial assistance, and helping the moms who need it.
@J R Everybody’s obviously got it all figured out for themselves by now. I come from a medical family, and doctors pronounce the baby “born alive” or “born dead”. The departure point is “from the womb”.
Because to me it seems like people are so pro life until the baby exits the womb, and then it’s , your own your own, pull yourself up by the bootstraps baby. If we want to see less abortions then we need to do better. Unless people don’t actually care about babies and are just using this as a wedge issue? 🤷🏻♀️
@Jacalyn 198724 Yeah. That’s a good point
Wow, the solution all along was to just “end rape” by arresting all the rapists before they rape anyone! Why didn’t anyone else think of this!
@JoshTyrReece my head went there immediately
@Paul Smith I hope this is a tongue in cheek comment. The law should do this but it only penalizes the women. Rethuglicans latched onto abortion as an issue only to capture the religious right vote. They cared not at all about the issue before they figured out how to increase their voting base, therefore getting and staying in power.
@sissy murphy he’s being sarcastic, you dope
The GOP just raped democracy and are forcing Texas to have the baby.
Ever heard of psychotronics?Poor people provide revenue the rich don’t pay in taxes keeping the poor enslaved to the cities counties and states.Is this a form of modern day slavery
Governor Abbott seems to live in an ivory tower, disconnected from the real world. The old testament of the bible is not the constitution of the US of A. Texas Reps are riding back in time.
Actually, the Old Testament has zero to do with what Abbott is talking about. It doesn’t back his agenda in any way, shape, or form. If he were following the Old Testament then he would know that these laws he’s implementing are a direct violation of God’s laws. He would know that God isn’t pleased and will send his wrath upon everyone in agreement with Abbot and this Anti-Christ agenda. That’s why ppl need to learn the Bible before trying to use it to support their lord.
Yes, I can do that.
nice to meet you
well!
It was nice to talk to you
I guess he is going to work hard to eliminate rapists like he is working hard to eliminate covid/19.
Superb dear friend ❤️👍👍. Nice presentation 👍👍Fashion video. . New friend joined 👍👍👍 big like🥰🤩🕊
nice to meet you
well!
Yes, I have received it.

Wonder what happens when one of these legislators or even the Gov gets their mistress pregnant, will they make an exception to this abortion law? I wonder if their neighbor or constituents will sue them as stated in law? If this happens, you know that the law will be repealed at that point.
I laugh at all these disingenuous posts; liberals acting like rape upsets them? Liberals are the ones from judges on down who want such criminals to get less and less of a sentence for their crime! The FACT is no one has the balls to do what will eliminate most all rapes: new national law: if you rape someone and there is no question you did it, you will get put to death immediately after sentencing! Liberals don’t give a sh#t about women who are raped! You are all LIARS!
@Lynn Betts But then if a citizen catches them doing that they can be sued, that is how the law is written.
The rich will always have a way to bypass the law, its built into the system.

There has never been a time in history – in any state – when abortion wasn’t available to the rich and powerful. That’s still the case.
It’s the Reich-wing TalibaNaziation of SCOTUS, as the highest court in the land sinks to a new low.
🤦♀️ clearly Abbott has suffered from the lack of sex Ed in Texas. Any high schooler would be able to tell him he is completely wrong and be able to back up their explanation with actual facts and not fairy tales.
As someone else stated, “If Texas wants to reduce rape, why don’t they enact a law which puts a $10,000 bounty on rapists?” Why put a bounty on women seeking a LEGAL and sometimes NECESSARY medical procedure?
@J R no, it just means you’re wrong. Of course it’s not substantial to you because you’re wrong. How sad.
@Paul Tyrrell Then why are you here getting in our business?
@Kishan Rao it’s not up to me. You’re right. I’m just pointing out how abortion is used as a form of birth control. It is immoral and everyone knows it. Even the woman getting the abortion. If they didn’t think it was immoral, they wouldn’t hide it.
@KCBOBX that is such a judgey answer didn’t the guy make the same choice? How many people have sex without thinking about marriage. Or believing love will get them to that or just want to know what that is. You must be a saint or pretend to be one.
@Aaron Pearson Troll? Is that a new word for someone who points out very unpleasant truths?
Making laws for therapy while knowing knowing “nothing” about medicine… How sick could that be?.
Yes, I have received it.
It was nice to talk to you
@Jonathon Caldwell I know the feeling. I was only 5. The person wasn’t a stranger but not a family member and never went to jail for it. It still has me screwed up. Actually, I think it bothers me more now than it did when I was a kid.
” Real sorry I ruined your babyk!lling party ” ~ Greg Abbott
@Stringfellow Hawke so if my fetus has autosomal defect or other debilitating defects that would affect its quality of life and mine, I should let that fetus proceed to become a neonate?
“It’s stupidity Jim, but not as we know it” …. Mr Spock analyzing the actions of Texas Gov., Greg Abbott 🤦♀️

I wish she were my Representative.

While you’re at it Abbott, we might as well just “elimate all drugs” too. We’ve never tried that before!
well!
Yes, I have received it.

Eliminating all wheel chairs from Austin (governor only), might give him the proper perspective? (Makes more sense than his rhetoric fairy tales).
@S Runnion 😳what you talkin’ ‘bout Willis???
” it provides *at least* 6 weeks” no it provides *at most* 6 weeks.
And really at most one week after you account for the time between the last period and when you can even suspect you might be pregnant

@S Runnion I disagree.
https://youtu.be/eN2o_V4SrZI
@problemat1que I suspect that six weeks were chosen to effectively ban it, but be able to say it doesn’t literally ban abortion. That way they can have it both ways.
Abbott thinks rapists carry cards, have club jackets and tattoos on their foreheads that say “rapists”
@S Runnion You know that repeating a post over and over doesn’t make it more correct, right?
It actually makes you seem less stable.
@SkyP1e context mate. Context. Meanwhile we have a “president” who openly hits on children.
Don’t talk about Biology when you can’t even say women who menstrate.
Remember alot of rapes and sexual harassment happen in blue states
@S Runnion
Knee-jerk nonsense. You would simply be ensuring that no rape victim ever lived to tell the tale.
OMG! We could’ve just “ended crime” the whole time??

You get no hoes
I’m a victim of rape and she hit the nail on the head when she referenced the immediate aftermath of the trauma itself. I was raped 25 years ago and just recently told my family about it. Their reactions created another level of trauma for me.
If anyone should feel aggrieved at this crazy legislation it is you! Why are these people so intense about the wrong subjects?
Thanks for sharing ❤️ there is definitely trauma in revealing a secret such as that to your family. AOC really broke it down
“Morning After” pills should be fully stocked adjacent to the Kotex and Tampons.
Forgo the Dr. appointment, desperate for help now.
Gov Abbot would have made more sense if he just said, “I don’t care” to the reporter. That is what he really meant.
Actually, he does care. He is misogynistic. He has never had a menstrual period in his life and never will. To have an ignorant MAN thinking he could possibly understand a woman’s anatomy and physiology is the height of ignorance and arrogance. It sounds good that he is willing to go after rapists, but rape is one of the most difficult crimes to prove. If he actually thought about the consequences of his myopic, puntative legislation, he is mentally raping women from the minute he signed what is clearly an unconstitutional bill given that Roe v. Wade bis still the law of the land, even though the Federalist Society Supreme Court seems to have forgotten that little problem.
he cares and he knows. AOC should be more concerned with the end of the earth in ten years. she should also be flying in Kerry’s jet to investigate Texas. if not the jet, she can use Greta’s sailboat and get to Texas. Either way, AOC’S intelligence in all things economic, environmental, social relations are to be respected. she has done so much to help her district in NY, that it has become a forest and unemployment is near zero. and the crime rate, well, it does not measure in her district also. her legislation that has passed thru congress has improved our country greatly. from bartender to President: that is what we see for her.
so the people that wanted female fetus to be born hate women. The people that are happy that millions of females werent born because of abortions,…..they’re pro- women. lol. liberal logic is baffling.
@Dan Archer 🤪
The Bartender should have just done another tik tok dance , something she is qualified to do.
