Texas Political Aristocracy pushing Abortion Law will not tolerate being judged.

Want to see just how arrogant and out of touch our government under Republicans has become?

Check out this powerful commentary from one Texan to her elected representatives. From Freakoutnation:


@VictoriaPrude took a stand using facts while calling out politicians at the Texas Senate Committee. It was a glorious moment. Sarah Slamen went down the line calling them out, beginning with Senator Campbell, an ophthalmologist, saying:  
”So I won’t be making you the expert on reproductive health. We can give you all the children with Chalmydia and Herpes in their eyes, since we don’t have sex-ed in the state. And Senator Hegar? You’re about as [interrupted] You are about as [interrupted] ... Excuse me! This is my government, ma’am. I will judge you! I will judge you, ma’am.” [interruption]

 “Is this counted against my time?” After being told that it is, ”A senator talking over me? ” She is told once more that it will count against the time allowed.

 “Well, I will just go ahead and talk over  her — and this is how big of a fraud I know you were for giving these these proceedings all night. It’s a low-bar that you hold yourself to” [police come in] adding, “that you’d simply allowed us to speak? I will speak against an opthomologist who” [police grab her] and adds, “Everyone on the internet can see what you’re doing right now. This is a farce.”
Officers pull her away from the microphone and dragged out of the room.
This nice article sums up just what's going on nationally. This is the title.
