The state of Texas has been building this monstrous project over years and years, and no one has been able to stop them. With Dobbs the SCOTUS explicitly threw women’s reproductive health care back to the states, and the red states went, “Yee-haw! “

Worst off of all are poor women in rural areas where there are no health clinics because the state of Texas closed them down. Plenty of these women are white, through no fault of their own, may I add. But white, Black, or brown, their only crime is being born female.
