2/ I was raised Catholic and believe in this (ctto via reddit)

Love thy neighbor.
All neighbors. No exceptions.

If I really hated them then I just did not hang out w them 🤷🏻‍♀️. No hateful speech or hateful laws.

3/ Most of my family in Texas is religious, republican, & single issue voters. Anti abortion, no matter what. Even if M@ga Trumpism breaks all the other 9 commandments.

I hate that I now have to discuss forced-birth issues w beloveds.

I'm a social entrepreneur #feminist

4/ Are you really pro-life?

If you force women to give birth, will you cover their maternal healthcare? child care? Increase min wage so parents can have decent living?

Will you force fathers to pay for child support while baby is still in the womb?

5) Why do they only advocate for the unborn? but not full grown moms? and their families?

6/ My body. My own healthcare choice.

Separation of church and state. If your religion forbids abortion don't get one.

But we can't force others to follow our religious beliefs.

7/ Texas has wonderful people, beautiful expansive landscapes & business-friendly policies.

Not so good if you are poor, working class, people of color, immigrant, lgbtq, marginalized.
