All the Most Unhinged Reactions to Texas’ Pro-Life Bill

On Wednesday, Texas’ version of the Heartbeat Bill went into effect. This came after the bill was contested and upheld by a federal court. The Supreme Court later declined to take the case, making it the first near-all-out ban on abortion in the country. 

Abortion proponents did not take kindly to the news, taking to Twitter to air their frustrations. Here are some of the most extreme and unhinged reactions:

Hillary Clinton 

“Under the cover of darkness, by choosing to do nothing, the Supreme Court allowed an unconstitutional abortion ban in Texas to go into effect last night. Their decision doesn’t change the fact that reproductive rights are human rights. We’ll fight for them,” claimed the failed presidential candidate and ex-Secretary of State. 

Joy Reid

MSNBC host Joy Reid took her frustrations out on the pro-life law on Twitter, sharing a GIF of the show “Handmaids Tail” in a dramatic attempt at equalizing babies’ lives to an overdramatic Netflix show. 

Liberal Tears

Leftist writers Jodi Picoult wrote, “Today my heart goes out to women in Texas, who have awakened in a very real version of The Handmaid’s Tale. Abortion care is health care.” 

Biden Speaks

“Texas SB8 will impair women’s access to health care and, outrageously, deputizes private citizens to sue those they believe helped another person get a banned abortion,” claimed Joe Biden.

Expand The Courts

Molly Jong-Fast at the Daily Beast wrote, “If Biden doesn’t expand the courts we’re gonna be living the handmaid‘s tale at least in red states.”

Carrying Guns and Voting

Mother Jones writer Ari Berman wrote on Twitter, “Today in Texas you can carry a gun without a permit but you can’t register to vote online or get an abortion after 6 weeks.”

Every Red State 

The Nation correspondent wrote, “*Every* red state is going to come out with a version of the Texas bill before the midterms. Every purple state will have candidates promising to pass a Texas style abortion ban, with bounties, if they win.” 

Gavin Newsom

Embattled California Gov. Gavin Newsom mimicked what Hillary Clinton wrote on Twitter, saying, “Silently–in the dead of night–the Supreme Court eviscerated the protection of a woman’s right to choose that has been protected for 50 years. CA will continue to protect this fundamental right & lead the nation in expanding access to reproductive care.”  Newsom is likely to be recalled this month.

Beto

In an unhinged rant, failed Texas U.S. Senate candidate and failed Democrat presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke said Texas “is deputizing kind of a CITIZEN’S ANTI-ABORTION MILITIA to go after women’s healthcare.”
