    Privileged people do get an exception - they can afford to fly to another state for an abortion.

    People like this think they’re part of the in group because they’re white or christian, but the only war is class war. To our rulers we’re all the enemy.

      My fucking Trumpy brother in law has this attitude. He lives in the south, votes for Trump, and has a wife, two daughters, and a son. His wife has had a couple of complicated pregnancies that, had they happened now in the place they currently live, could well have resulted in her death. His attitude when asked ‘what if one of your daughters gets raped?’ is to say he can just fly her somewhere else to get an abortion, because he has money. Fuck you, dude.

        These are people who don’t want rights, they want privileges. They don’t want equality, they want hierarchy. They can’t say “gimme gimme”, they say “take America back”.

        From who? Americans. They want to take what you have. Now that Republicans control the Federal Government they will start to take from each other.

        This literally happened during the first Trump administration. Does no Trump supporter remember how they all fought for attention and sucked so badly?

      Texas also has many local abortion travel bans so you can be punished for using their roads while going to the other states if you can’t afford to fly over them.
