There are transcripts of it. What exactly was taken out of context? He claimed to Minority Report style arrest future rapists by I guess thought policing, as if that’s a real thing, and what possible good does that do for a woman raped today?

Any rape law that doesn’t allow for a rape exception is a Taliban level law. Texas was the king of passing no sharia law legislation. I guess they meant for others, not themselves.
Having been raised Catholic I have been programmed from my own birth to oppose abortion. It’s a position I still side with - within reason.

However when I saw the Texas Governor today my impression was of a guy wanting to do a tough talking John Wayne law and order act for the bleacher seats. He was talking complete nonsense. It’s a shame.

I really haven’t delved into it but that’s my impression. You’d think there are no moderate Republicans anymore. It’ll be years before conservative politics returns to the mean.
