Once Upon A Texas...

...there lived a 17 year old girl who loved her boyfriend very much. One thing led to another and she found herself pregnant. Now the powers that be had decreed that such girls had to wait 24 hours before having a pregnancy terminated. This gave the doctors time to show pregnant girls pictures of fetuses and warn them that an abortion could lead to breast cancer and generally scare the crap out of them as they are required to do under Texan law (they also keep every girl's identity on record).

As if all that wasn't bad enough the girl in question was over the 16 week mark meaning that her procedure could only be carried out in a hospital or ambulatory surgical centre. But this is Texas and no ambulatory surgical centres there even offer the procedure which left the hospitals. Hospitals that charge a small fortune for terminations to ensure it's never the 'easy option'.

To hell with the women folk - must protect those cells...

So what's a girl to do?

Well first she attempts to induce her own miscarriage. When that didn't work she asked her boyfriend to step on her stomach.

Texas. Aren't you fucking ashamed?

Apparently not. More like riled up and fucking insane.

Ever heard of Fetal Murder? The girl can't be prosecuted but her boyfriend became fair game.

The result?

He was sentenced to 40 YEARS IN PRISON.

Un. Fucking. Believable.

Yeah - keep worrying about terrorists because everything else is just fine and dandy...
