Texas Gov. Greg Abbott attends a security briefing on Wednesday, June 30, 2021 in Weslaco, Texas. | Jabin Botsford/The Washington Post via AP, PoolTexas Gov. Greg Abbott insisted on Thursday that his state's controversial new abortion law won't prompt blowback from the business community.
The governor's remarks follow a Supreme Court decision issued late Wednesday declining to block a Texas law that would prohibit abortions after roughly six weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant. A voting bill that passed the state legislature — and is expected to be signed into law by Abbott — would curtail some voting methods like 24-hour and drive-through voting. It would also enhance poll-watcher protections and expand early voting in some small counties.
Obviously, Texas has sucked since forever.
The abortion bounty hunting business is a-boomin’ in Texas!

I’ve tried to have faith in capitalism and business to push for change. Elon has to say something about this - being quoted as supporting a law about women’s bodies (which has no impact on business) will face a lot of blowback. He can make a stand. elonmusk

Every woman voter in Texas needs to march to the polls in 2022 and vote against every republican on the ballot.
