Welcome to Texas, where:

1. women love to be third class citizens, behind white males and embryos/zygotes

2. many citizens are regularly killed by floods, which are known to happen on a regular basis and no early warning system is even discussed, much less put in action

3. the same goes for tornadoes, hurricanes, all other natural disasters

3. where people regularly freeze to death in winter, because they can't afford food and heat, or the entire system breaks down, every winter

4. where people keep voting for the same damn criminals (Paxton) and cruel idiots like Abbott, Cruz, Cornyn, Crenshaw, Jackson, Roy, etc. (just to name a few of the many brain- and spineless monsters who keep collecting paychecks without doing anything for it)

I feel sorry for all the blue voters in Texas. You are in as bad a shape as we are in Arkansas.

That was a crime against the pregnant woman and her 6 week old embryo. The only individual that is defined as a person in this case is the embryo. According to Texas’ f***** up laws had that man killed both of those individuals then under their laws they should not be allowed to charge but only one count of murder and that would only be to the embryo. Why? Because the state redefined the definition of person by including zygotes, embryos and fetuses and the exclusion of the other body that sequesters the embryonic body. The prosecution should go after not only the defendant but they should also put the sorry state of Texas on trial for redefining person/personhood and the de-person-ization of one victim at the expense of the other victim.

I did not use the term dehumanization that is so often used in this context. Human refers to a species. You cannot make someone who is a human unhuman or not a human but you can certainly deprive someone from having personal rights as in personhood rights which is what Donald Trump does to immigrants he despises.
