It’s working as intended for the forced-birth party. Not only are women in red states relegated to second-class citizens, but those states are going to have a population boom. Which means that they’ll have even MORE representation in the House come the next census.
Human suffering is considered to be mere collateral damage as the GOP continues its pursuit of unchecked power.
not true. i’m staying here in part to serve people who are otherwise disempowered. texans, if you care about people and you care about this place, i hope some of you will stick around so we can make it better.
i respect that some just don’t want to and some don’t feel safe. but i also think enough people who care can make a difference.
Texas is very much a purple area. It could completely flip blue in certain areas, which is why you might have noted all the efforts to suppress the vote at the state level, such as throwing out Houston’s votes.
The real question is, what is the overall population growth rate compared with before?
I wonder how many people are leaving TX, or (more likely) deciding to not move to TX, compared with previous years.
In a school with 1400 kids, 100 of them are rape babies. Figure that’s a high school, with four grades. 350 kids per grade. 25 people in each grade is a rape baby.

It also drives any one more progressive than a stone wheel out of the state meaning there’s just fewer democrats to vote against their dear leader
Sort of like gerrymandering but completely legal!

Texas hasn’t voted blue since 1976. It ain’t happening anyway.

how much of that is the more traditional kind of gerrymandering, though? They’re not as bad as WI, but they’re taking notes.
Someone should really tell them then that younger people tend to vote liberal…
Nvm, by then Democracy will have been replaced anyway.
if they vote
True dat.
~26000 births isnt a lot though compared to the 375000 births that occur in Texas every year.
It’s about 7%. That is a lot.

That’s like an entire class room.
No matter how you conceptualise it it’s a whole fucking lot of rape babies.
1 in 14.4 based on your numbers, sounds pretty dang high in my opinion.
That’s at least 2 prisons full of free laborera for the state!
