3 CommentsSupport Bush's "Abortion Providers Protection Act"
Laws that create special classes (where crimes against them get additional punishments) are mostly bullshit virtue signaling - as in "WhAt? yUo d0nT zuPp0rt tHe p0LICE!?!?!" I mean if you support cops, get them de-escalation training. If you support teachers, fucking pay them. But this special class bill that El Som covered by HB 234 and mentioned by El Som (here) strikes me as different. Here he have a class that will actually need protection in the post Roe V Wade world.
