Anyone who has practiced or studied the dark art of politics, eventually arrives at the conclusion that nothing ever happens by accident in that practice.
The world is overcrowded with 8 billion people and we have loons like Musk running around saying we need more people on the planet and governors like Abbott who would have a disabled child born to suffer through life just to protect his conservatism and religion.
I wonder, though, whether it's truly a case of "small government" Republicans in Texas - or anywhere else - being "unable to see their own contradictions" when it comes to their overly invasive, harmful policies. After egregious overreach upon grievous overreach, I'm more inclined to think that they know what flaming hypocrites they are... and simply DGAF as long as their regressive policies are enacted.
I think yours may be the more precise analysis, though it might be giving them to too much intellectual credit. But it's hard to believe any of them could be as oblivious as they appear. DGAF is probably the operative philosophy. Who's gonna stop us?
Thank you for your coverage of this disgusting and morally depraved action by SCOTEX.
They are not concerned about healthcare, only power.
It can't be easy to write about these issues all the time.. but it has to be done. Glad you're able to do so Jim.
Thanks, buddy. I appreciate your long time support of this project.
Exceptional piece! SPOT ON!!
Thanks, John. So appreciate you reading and your support.
The only kind of woman worth saving is the one who’ll die to give birth. Paradox.

Nothing will change until red state wives, daughter and girl friends (not mistresses) start dying. And maybe not even then.
Pretty much true.
Good piece, as always, Jim.
