So now we know what the basis is for the Texas abortion ban- blame the women.
I assume Miller believes marriage can only be the union of a man and a woman- as defined by him-, and the children the consequence of sexual intercourse -so maybe he should persuade Greg Abbot f the Bible and his legislators, to make it illegal for a man to ejaculate outside of sexual intercourse, to 'level it up' with the women who say no, which as a strategy doesn't work with rapists and grubby uncles.
Thomas Hobbes published Leviathan in 1651, in which Reason replaces Faith as the foundation of the State of Government Hobbes argued was preferable to a State of Nature. Here we are, 370 years later, and it seems the propostion has been reversed.
"The legal architect of the Texas abortion ban has argued in a supreme court brief that overturning Roe v Wade, the landmark decision which guarantees a right to abortion in the US, could cause women to practice abstinence from sexual intercourseas a way to “control their reproductive lives”.
“Women can ‘control their reproductive lives’ without access to abortion; they can do so by refraining from sexual intercourse,” Mitchell wrote in the brief. “One can imagine a scenario in which a woman has chosen to engage in unprotected (or insufficiently protected) sexual intercourse on the assumption that an abortion will be available to her later. But when this court announces the overruling of Roe, that individual can simply change their behavior in response to the court’s decision if she no longer wants to take the risk of an unwanted pregnancy.”

So, today, a question for the Americans here-
Are you a Legacy American, or are you an Obedient Immigrant?

Reading about the emerging petrol crises in Britain reminds me of the one I lived through here in the US in 1973 (although caused by an actual 'gas' shortage in the US back then) .

I'm so glad that I decided to "kiss my gas goodbye" when I traded in my Cadillac and became the proud owner of an all electric 2020 Nissan Leaf SL Plus . And here in California 95% of our electric is from renewable sources . Admittedly I've got a lot of making up to do after 20 years of driving my Cadillac Eldorado.
I read in a book that at the time someone saw a sticker on the back of a car in the 'Sayuth' which read 'Drive 90, Kill a Yankee'...must have been Texas.Quote:

What is 'Sayuth' I Googled it and still don't understand ? Although the sentiment was certainly common in the South back then in the days before 'political correctness' .Quote:
