Texas must create stricter quarantine requirements, increase the vaccine rate, and improve contact tracing to address this measles epidemic before it becomes a nationwide problem

So we're fucked then.

Hunh. Guess that's just for pregnant women trying to save their own lives, then, not for people trying to endanger everyone else ...

Maybe they could borrow some resources from ICE and border patrol, who could use a break from deporting citizens.

Has anyone pushed the whole travelling thing? I'd love to hear the mental gymnastics they do to justify holding women accountable for an abortion but not holding people accountable from spreading a disease.

We all know it's oppression but I get a sick pleasure of watching them see the dichotomy, them trying to understand what the difference is, seeing that there is no difference but they need to justify one over the other, and then spewing some nonsense. For that split second, it's so fucking enjoyable.
