Texas Women Are Inducing Their Own Abortions

1. This Is What Happens When You Don't Vote

This is what happens when you don't vote. You leave medical policy in the hands of ideologues, theocrats, and ivory-tower fantasy-dwellers to make decisions concerning your body for you.

I wish there was some way to communicate to these women and their loved ones that if you don't vote, some right-wing rabidly anti-abortion fanatic will cheerfully go to the polls and make those decisions for you.

Elections aren't popularity contests to pick the most handsome or agreeable candidate. They are to choose the candidates that will protect your interests.

I am sorry, but after Wendy Davis not only lost but got stomped by the Teapublicans in the 2014 election, I can't help but ask these women: "WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU WHEN IT WAS CRUNCH TIME?! ARE YOU DOORMATS?! ARE YOU GOING TO EVEN LIFT A FINGER TO PROTECT YOURSELVES?! BECAUSE WHEN YOU DON'T, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS!!!"
