Gov. Abbott said Texas will ‘eliminate all rapists from the streets’ so women don’t have to worry about the new anti-abortion law having no exception for rape

Oh … so that’s all right then!

@JohnPhilpin So all men are confined to buildings separate from all women? That's an interesting solution.

@JohnPhilpin If it was so easy to abolish rape, why have they waited this long before doing it?

@JohnPhilpin I hope the governor is the first Texan in line to voluntarily undergo emasculation surgery.

And then ....

In “The Origins of Totalitarianism,” Hannah Arendt observed the early tendency of a totalitarian regime to draft private citizens to conduct 'voluntary espionage,' so that 'a neighbor gradually becomes a more dangerous enemy than officially appointed police agents.'

Echoes of this fear could be felt in the dissents from the Supreme Court’s decision on Wednesday not to block enforcement of a Texas law that prohibits abortion after roughly the sixth week of pregnancy.
