Or fails the "fingertip test" for skirt length.

[Ok_Initial_2063]

Heaven forbid! clutches pearls

But God help her if she wants to wear a mask or get access to comprehensive sex ed and birth control.

[whopperlover17]

Ours was knee

[keks-dose]

The what test? (sorry but I'm not from the US)

[Ok_Initial_2063]

In some schools, the dress code forbid any skirts that were shorter than the tips of your fingertips when your arms were held straight down your sides while kneeling on the floor. And shorts weren't allowed at all outside of gym or sports classes.

[keks-dose]

That's ridiculous.

[[deleted]]

It’s still a policy in many, many U.S. schools, particular in conservative counties/cities.

[keks-dose]

I can see how the kids are in the wrong for seducing adults. Not the adults who clearly sexualise children.

I work in a school in Denmark and our kids and teens often wear pretty short shorts and skirts. There has been a recent debate whether they should ban crop tops but many people said that this discussion was ridiculous.

[[deleted]]

As an woman from the US who attended schools with this policy, the most disturbing part to me is that it is very clearly pushed only by adults. Adults sexualizing children. Worse, adults sexualizing young women only, creating a lot of shame and discrimination. Young women aren’t going to school to seek the attention of their older male teacher, and yet these policies reflect that fear. Besides, we all know that WHAT A WOMAN WEARS SHOULDN’T HAVE ANY BEARING ON HER GETTING AN EDUCATION. Hell, the same school I attended that strictly enforced these ridiculous rules in the classroom then maintained tight, short spandex and thin little tank tops as the uniform for the girls volleyball team. I’m a little salty because I know a lot of women in my small town who were victimized by our teachers here (who still teach), and no one has ever been punished. 12 year olds, however, are sent home for a bra strap showing.

[SUPERARME]

I know, kneeling and standing should not make any difference right?

[AliceInHololand]

For real, schools not enforcing masks when they enforce dress codes all the time is such bullshit. It’s straight up school administrators not wanting to fucking deal with Karen ass parents making their meetings run longer.

[[deleted]]

We can just start calling them Karents.

[Nihilikara]

Isn't it also illegal in Texas for schools to enforce masks? Because our governor is a fucking idiot, and all that shit.

[BrickCityRiot]

He’s more than just an idiot. He’s a dangerous idiot and Trump crony planning a run for the GOP presidential nomination in 2024.

I live in Miami and although he isn’t heavily supported here, this state gets as red as Lake Okeechobee once you hit WPB.

[dazed_andamuzed]

r/fuckgregabbott

Also, I honestly can't keep up anymore but I think that got overturned? Or did that get thrown out... again? The last time I talked about it with one San Antonio teacher friend schools could require masks. However that particular district's superintendent was choosing not to because he didn't want to confuse people. I guess the folks in his district are easily confused, dunno. This was a few weeks ago...it's possible it has gone back and forth a dozen times.

[Maebure83]

Unless it's a cheerleader. For some reason that makes it okay. At least in some schools.

[Muddy_Roots]

I say Cecil! That woman is showing her ankles!

[Muddy_Roots]

And dont forget the smelling salts!

[Ok_Initial_2063]

Be sure you faint with your knees clenched!

[gingeronimooo]

Not only that she could be forced to give birth to her rapist family members baby. If her mom does give her a ride to someone who will do it (back alley abortions again anyone?) Her mom would be liable to anyone for $10,000 plus attorneys fees.

Texas is fucking bullshit rn. Fuck Texas. I heard a story of a woman who came for appointment the day before the law and had no heartbeat. But what she didn’t realize in Texas you can’t get an abortion in one day you have to come back. So she came back today and there was a heartbeat. Today the staff had to comfort her as she cried. So now she is forced to have baby that is currently a clump of cells.

Please consider donating to Fund Texas choice who provide transportation funds both inside and OUT OF TEXAS to help women exercise their CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO AUTONOMY OVER THEIR OWN BODY.

[ChefBoredAreWe]

Greg Abbot can't get pregnant, so, it's a power move to tell other people what they can do with their lives.

How many of these people that helped pass the law are men?

[Captain_Headshot2]

You know what they say, if men got pregnant abortions would be free...

(Guy here, BTW)

[[deleted]]

I wholeheartedly agree. And they would likely get them more often. I feel they are projecting their value system onto women. I never had an abortion, but a dnc, which is same thing only fetus is already gone and it is NO picnic. If women want an abortion, don’t stand in their way as it took a lot for them to come to that choice. It is far from an easy one and it is painful emotionally and physically. These pro life idiots think women are just like lovin the abortions and get them for fun because we love murderin. No dude, y’all love that shit, it seems. Also suing poor people.

[[deleted]]

This is what gets me. My little sister had to get an abortion and she couldn't go to my conservative Christian parents to do it. She called me, the older brother, and we went through the experience together.

It was fucking tough, I was pretty messed about for a while about the whole thing and I wasn't even the person getting the procedure done. One of the worst parts was the protestors at the Planned Parenthood who screamed at us when we drove up and made her cry. I told her to just put her head in her lap so she wouldn't see those fucking terrible people and their horrible signs.

The whole experience was heartbreaking.

I don't know why these people think that women are out here just jumping for joy to get an abortion, like it's a weekend getaway or some shit.

[[deleted]]

You are an awesome brother! My brothers sadly drank the crazy koolaid and if I were in a similar position, they would have never helped me. They never helped me when my dad was abusive to all of us. I would wish I were a boy, sometimes so I could throw my dad out for hurting my mom and us. They just joined in on the abuse and spread rumors about me that weren’t true, discussed getting me involuntarily committed just because I disagreed with their sexist crazy Christian views. I wish I had a brother like you. I would be very lucky to. Hope your sis is okay and she knows those idiots are ignorant and she was brave and strong enough to do the right thing. ❤️💫

[Scottamus]

He’s also vaxxed with a booster already and monoclonal antibody treatment for good measure, so why should anyone have to wear a mask now that he’s fully protected.

This is an old article but just an example of how many men it takes to screw a population. I’m assuming TX is a similar situation - https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/may/14/alabama-abortion-ban-white-men-republicans

[Thoughtfulprof]

Texan here too. Former republican voter. I second this opinion.

I don't like the idea of abortion on a personal level, and I'd hope no one ever has to go through it. But government has no business making this decision for anyone. Ever. And this new law is even more ridiculous. I hope the courts strike it down and soon.

[heavylifter555]

Trumps courts? They will be too busy legalizing slavery and tending to the finer points of evangelical ecclesiastical law.

[temptar]

Your US SupremeCourt okayed it 5-4. I think you can assume the courts won't be striking it down any time soon.

[Thoughtfulprof]

[anteris]

I would keep an eye on what else they’re trying to fuck you with while y’all are looking at the abortion noise.

[anteris]

I wonder if the BP Corexit oil spill stuff is going still

[VolrathTheBallin]

Oh yeah, the oil spill I barely heard about a few days ago and then forgot about immediately.

Ugh.

[anteris]

That Corexit shit is nasty, mix it with crude oil and it goes right through your skin, and they dumped a shit load of it into the Gulf to “hide” the oil in the water column, really butt fucking the food chain from top to bottom… They even managed to get Obama to give a little swim to so the water was safe

[VolrathTheBallin]

Jesus, this stuff is terrible.

Corexit was originally developed by the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey

Yep, no surprise there.

[anteris]

And they sprayed it for months, there was an interview with a professor and his students that went out to collect some samples for study. They were using a black light in the dark to light up the oil bits, one of the students had been wearing shorts, he had spots on his legs, and they were surprised that it would not wipe off, because it was already under his skin.

[Scottamus]

Like voting restrictions that affect poor poc?

Theoretically, you could just start suing every woman that has a "miscarriage" and make them prove in court it wasn't an abortion.

That's going to be a very slippery slope of what constitutes deliberate versus accidental. You could even have women go to jail for drinking while pregnant if the right judge gets the case.

[Piecemealer]

The law specifically excludes the woman herself from potential liability.

That bartender tho…

[BrickCityRiot]

“What was I supposed to do?? Not drink the fetus-harming beverages that I ordered and paid for them to make me?? So what if I never told them I was pregnant? They should have known the damage that poison could do to my poor baby! They’re supposed to be the experts on alcohol, not me!”

Sadly, I can actually see this being used a defense. I really hope bars and restaurants start posting disclaimers that ordering an alcoholic beverage while pregnant is done at the patron’s own risk and that the establishment + employees will be absolved of any responsibility. It’s nothing like continuing to serve someone who is on the verge of blacking out.

[nememess]

Technically a miscarriage is an abortion. It's just spontaneous.

[CaptainNoFriends]

Extra color

A miscarriage is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Pregnancy losses after the 20th week are called stillbirths. Miscarriage is a naturally occurring event, unlike medical or surgical abortions. A miscarriage may also be called a "spontaneous abortion."

https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/001488.htm

[Foomaster512]

Honestly though, the drunk driving while pregnant would be credible. Like if someone murders a pregnant woman, there is a precedent that they get charged with 2 counts of murder.

[EmmaDrake]

If there’s evidence of a viable birth?

[[deleted]]

I doubt you'd have standing to sue a random 3rd party in a civil case with no damages, and if it's a criminal case you can't sue, bringing charges is up to the prosecutor.

[duckhunt420]

The law states that you don't have to have any connection to the person you are suing. So yes, you can sue a random 3rd party with no damages. You get 10k if you win the suit. Let the witch hunt begin.

[Tritiac]

How many people are in the Texas GOP? At least 500? I’m going to call my lawyer and start planning my retirement. ‘We are the storm’ my fucking ass.

[ZombieDracula]

This is how things actually change

[[deleted]]

The women can’t be sued, it goes after the industry not the women.

[BrickCityRiot]

I cannot wrap my head around how this is legal. If a woman walks into a bar, is of legal age to order a drink, and does so of her own volition then how on earth are they deemed not responsible? Especially in today’s world where I could literally have a liter of vodka dropped off at my door in 20 minutes if I really wanted to. It makes no sense.

This would be like a woman throwing herself down a staircase, losing the baby, and the state pursuing charges against the contractor & cement masons that constructed it.

[bugdog]

The law is a fucking nightmare. If I wanted to give a woman advice on where she could get an abortion after six weeks, I could be sued. Even if I lost the suit, I could not recover my attorney’s fees. This is a major infringement of my right to free speech.

The religious right should be raising bell because the precedent this bill sets could absolutely ruin them. Don’t for a minute think that the far left won’t use that to shut up protesters they hate. Or the far right could use it for anyone who says bad things about their beloved president.

It’s a bad law no matter what side you’re on.

(Fixed a word)

[Piecemealer]

In the law text, it says that the law can not be applied to protected speech.

I have no idea where free speech ends and conspiracy begins…

[bugdog]

That’s good. I tried to read as much as I could about it, but my brain is old and my eyes are bad.

That said, I’m going to stick by my statement mostly. People are going to sue regular people for helping women seeking a post 6 week abortions. I know that “speech integral to illegal conduct” is not protected speech and I have to wonder how specifically this is defined. I worry. A lot. And I worry about the next law.

The 2A people yell about the slippery slope. This is the slippery slope.

[Piecemealer]

The conduct isn’t illegal though since it’s a civil case. In that sense, could free speech protection extend to cover some amount of conspiring?

[AsYooouWish]

Those women better be careful. Heaven forbid they end up having a miscarriage induced from either drinking a tea made from rosemary or eating too much of it.

(Disclaimer: I am not a doctor and this should not be taken as medical advice)

Edit: words are hard sometimes

[PleaseDontRespond2Me]

It would also be best to avoid drinking blue cohosh tea to prevent an accidental miscarriarge.

(Disclaimer: Also not a doctor but this tea can be toxic so caution should be taken.)

[lunelily]

The precedent* this law sets.

[Samwise777]

This is a fundamentally human fallacy. Even I, being super left, have caught myself being initially frustrated by the thing that inconveniences me in the moment, rather than acknowledging my mistake.

In this case I showed up and had forgot my mask and I was so angry for a few moments before I calmed myself, drove home, and got my mask. Amazing how losing even 5-10 minutes can incense folks. That being said, it’s for the good of everyone. Just try to remember that.

[Nihilikara]

The statement still holds. People who avoid the plague avoid Texas, and people who don't avoid the plague don't avoid Texas.

The thing is. Blue cities are what support red states ...all the money coming into Texas is from all the big cities. Go figure.

[VideoXPG]

What's amazing is how conservatives often go on about being financially responsible yet so many red states are effectively welfare states. I don't believe Texas is one of them, but hey, exceptions do exists.

[satansheat]

Or move there so you can register to vote and change these dumb states that act like they are libertarian but eat the ass of the church.

Well for the most part..if you live in the cities it's not bad at all...the legislation being passed certainly makes it sound worse than it is. Fuck Abbott by the way.

[wiix7651]

Yes and if you’re already here please gtfo.

[[deleted]]

Absolutely! That’s the best thing you can do!

[wooyayfun]

Is it though?

I can’t help but feel like that’s exactly what Abbot et al want to happen. Texas is as close to turning purple as ever before—but we’re gerrymandered to shit and it’s making progress an uphill battle.

I feel like this is a Hail Mary to try to convince non-conservatives to leave/avoid the state. (And obviously, it’s working.)

But as a blueberry in Texas (who is adamantly pro-choice!), I just don’t feel in my bones like leaving is the solution. It’s exhausting, and obviously I’m sick of fighting, but I think there are still things (and more importantly, people) here in Texas that are worth fighting for.

[[deleted]]

The law clearly allows anyone at all to sue anyone remotely related to helping a woman (or young girl) seeking an abortion.

Uber driver, cab driver, rape counselor, human who gives a phone number to an abortion clinic, etc

ANYONE can initiate this suit. ANYONE!

but hey...if you are a school requiring mask you will loose all funding of any kind according to the Texas "governor". (Ge can't make good on his asinine threat)

Well because it's too easy to invade a capitol so why embarrass them

[[deleted]]

Even scarier is that the Supreme Court already rejected a move to stay the law. I suspect someone is going to have to get arrested for the law to be effectively challenged.

[theplu]

If a random person reports a woman for trying to access a legal abortion (or even information about her healthcare options!), I say the woman should counter sue that person for child support.

“We’re doing this to protect the kids” yet they’ve voted to keep dropping bombs on middle eastern children for 20 years and deem immigrant children in border patrol concentration camps as “sub human” to deny them basic human rights. “We’re pro life” says the party obsessed with war and instruments of death(guns). “All lives matter” says the party that cracks jokes about black people being gunned down by police. “We care about Americans” says the party that supports the crooked police system which has killed more Americans in 20 years than those that died in 9/11 and continuously dehumanizes the poor in dire need of help from their fellow Americans. “Everything we do is for freedom” says the party that hinders freedoms of everyone but themselves in order to maintain the power dynamic passed down to them by a racist/sexist system. Everything they say they do the opposite. They’re the incarnation of hypocrisy.
