Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

As intended, the point is to get white people to breed... I'm sadly not joking
While they would be delighted if that were to happen, in this case, it is poor people they want to breed no matter what color they are. They want all those impoverished babies born so they can:
- Under-educate them
- Force them into crappy jobs that will keep them poor while enriching their overlords
- Convince them that the progressives who want to help them and improve their lives are really their enemies
- Deceive them into voting for the very tyrants who are oppressing them
They don't really care what color skin the meat they feed into their machine is wearing.
Nah, they want them to all be black, but white is acceptable.
More blacks mean more people they can throw in jails to use as slave labor for their corporate overlords.
They want all the black people they can get.
I'm a native Texan and I've got to disabuse you of this notion. There's definitely an effort to monetize the state's bigoted legislature. But the end goal of these policies isn't a large black prison force any more than the work camps in Dachau were about having a large Gypsy/Jewish/Communist labor force.
The goal is to work these prisoners to death until there's nobody left to arrest.
We continue to have a rich legacy of forced sterilization nationally, particularly in state prisons.
But the prisons are for profit. There must be a steady stream of prisoners (that will be used as slave labor) or the prisons go out of business, and the prisons will do everything in their power to make sure that doesn't happen.
But the prisons are for profit.
Everything is for profit. The state is kickbacks stacked on top of kickbacks. They spend $3.5 billion/yr on ramshackle buildings with no AC and prohibition systems that barely function. They can't keep anyone on staff because even the guards are treated like chattel.

Prison populations have been falling since COVID but spending (and profits) have only increased.
If every prisoner in Texas vanished tomorrow, I guarantee the private contractors and facilities would still post record profits by year end.
Y'all focusing on them hoping to pump out "poor, uneducated wage slaves" or whatever, but there's a much bigger reason why conservatives want those children to be born.
With foster care conditions being so absolutely abhorrent in its current state, it's very easy for a child to get "lost in the system". Add in the trauma of being a child in that situation, and it is a recipe for disaster. These adults.. want those vulnerable kids.
The party who insist they are doing what they do to """protect the children""".
There's a business in that. And there are folks who want those unwanted children.

Does this apply to infants?
In another decade or so there will be articles about how Texas lacks educated workers and companies can't entice enough educated people to fill jobs. And every politician will scratch their hate filled little heads trying to figure out why. Many will come to some horribly moronic conclusion that there isn't enough Jesus or to much social media but none will look back at this and get a clue.
I know my opintion may be very controversial. But I think abortions are decisions where life quality of the mother is weighted against the life of the possible child. Hence I am contra abortions exempt from this would be medically necessary abortions where not mothers life quality but life itself is concerned. ( as in my philosophy life should outweigh life quality ) But when you forbid abortions and you force births. Now you have alot of mothers and children with shitty life quality, that you have enforced. There should be soemthing to give life quality back. And that should be the norm. You force people to take a hit on life quality, give em something in return.
The problem is who decides? I am anti abortion so I didn't have any. That's it. I'm not telling anyone else what to do. You are saying some bureaucrat somewhere gets to make that call, instead of the pregnant person. Why? Her beliefs don't matter to you, they don't count? She has to follow your beliefs?
Now imagne we would use this logic on taxation.
Just because you don't have something, doesn't mean the goverment shouldn't be able to regulate it. And if a goverment in a democracy is the direct result of people's votes. Why shoudnt people be able to vote on it.
Kids having kids is EXACTLY what Jesus would have wanted!
He probably wouldn't have a problem. Mary was 12-14 years old according to some sources and 15-16 in others when she was pregnant.
Mary was 12-14 years old according to some sources
There is absolutely zero actual archeological evidence of Mary existing, much less records that might match her age at the time of her son's birth.
She could have been 14 or 40 (or an entirely fictitious amalgamation of folk legends).
These "estimates" inevitable come from cranks whose guesstimates are plus or minus a decade and freaks who want to justify their desire to knock up teenagers.
