There was once a line that the forced-birthers were traditionally reluctant to cross – their bills didn’t target women directly – instead they focused on onerous requirements for clinics and medical professionals. Texas then upped the ante by putting a bounty on those who aid women get abortions after 6 weeks. Missouri is now trying to extend the concept beyond their state’s borders and Idaho responded to the criticism of strangers suing strangers by allowing only family members, including those of rapists, to sue abortion providers. However heinous these bills are, they still concentrate on trapping women into carrying a fetus to term by removing their support system.

Texas has crossed that line with a bill targeting women directly – the logical extension of all GOP rhetoric. TX Rep. Bryan Slaton’s bill, filed last year, would “abolish and criminalize abortions, leaving women and physicians who perform the procedure to face criminal charges that could carry the death penalty,” with no exceptions for rape and incest. It’s only a matter of time before this becomes the model that other red states emulate.
