With the federal right to reproductive health access likely in its final days of existence, a cadre of conservative lawmakers in Texas are wasting no time moving their punitive goalposts even further right, by vowing to penalize companies that facilitate out-of-state abortions if they continue to do business there.
As The Texas Tribune reported Monday, 14 Republican state representatives — led by conversion therapy booster and “anti-trans violence is simply ‘dudes in skirts getting beat up’” ghoul Brisco Cain — are preparing to introduce a slate of bills prohibiting companies from doing business in Texas, if they also cover abortions under their health insurance plans in the (soon to be much fewer) states where reproductive health hasn’t been criminalized.
