State District Court Judge Jessica Mangrum on Friday issued a temporary exemption to Texas’ abortion ban. Hours later, the attorney general’s office filed an appeal, which blocked the order.

The suffering is the point. It must be the point. There is no other reason to fight an order like this.
It’s religious fanaticism.
Right, but the fanaticism is about making women suffer. Punishing them for the sin of having sex. And, of course, it’s definitely God’s punishment if there’s something wrong with the pregnancy and you die. You must have deserved it, you wicked sinner.
Saying the suffering is the point gives them far too much credit I think. They lack the fundamental capability to understand the impacts of their decisions and position. They can’t go past the basic and horrifically oversimplified “murder is wrong”. They won’t entertain situations in which the life of the woman could come into play. They can’t fathom why anyone might not consider a fetus a person. They legitimately don’t understand that they could be wrong. So how on earth could they be wrong?
They cannot process the full depth of the situation. So they revert to the simplest interpretation they can manage.
Maybe the rank and file, but the leadership knows what they are doing.
Blessed is the mind too small for doubt.
The suffering is the means, the end is to cause fewer liberal voters than conservative to move in and cause some of the liberal voters there to move out.
It’s also to trap people in generational poverty so the capitalist class always has a working class to exploit.
