          Abortions are illegal in Texas, and illegal to leave the state to get one. There are bounties out for anyone to narc on anyone suspected of having one. It’s considered murder and the state can execute people for this.

          Unless they run a prison, where apparently fetuses can be killed without repercussions if the person carrying it is an employee.

          Abortions are only legal if your employers order them in Texas, now.

            you, the outdated xixth century marxist: the capitalist class is anti abortion to maintain the reserve army of labor

            me, the ascended breadtube theorist: the capitalist class made it illegal to get an abortion unless its a workplace injury to discipline the reserve army of labor

          that’s obviously the implication DailyMail is looking at, but to disappoint legalistic onlookers the courts in this country and especially the south literally do not care about these kinds of self-contradictions. Fetus will have whichever framework of rights vis-a-vis a pregnant person to enact the christofascist agenda on that pregnant person. there’s no legal logic to it besides the expression of patriarchal power

            Is “christofascist” the right word to describe this? The American right-wing encompasses a lot more than just stereotypical evangelicals.

              not literally every republican is a christian & those christians don’t agree on everything but i don’t think it’s incorrect to say the overall character is one of christian fascism.
