SHOCKING Leaked Video: GOP Discusses Executing Rape Victims, Banning IVF

Twelve Republican candidates for the Texas Legislature signed this extreme group's pledge to file legislation to ban IVF and make abortion a capital punishment crime.

https://www.lonestarleft.com/p/shocking-leaked-video-gop-discusses



Over the last decade, I’ve watched hundreds of Republican speeches and events. The video below is one of the most shocking and terrifying things I’ve ever seen from the far right. Twelve Republican candidates have signed their pledge, agreeing to file this legislation if elected.

The video was taken in Granbury at a True Texas Project event. The speaker is Paul Brown, the Director of Policy and Operations of a fringe group called “Abolish Abortion Texas.”

The video starts with Brown saying, “An eye for an eye. A tooth for a tooth.” He discussed how women who have abortions should be executed under “God’s law.” He then goes on to talk about how abortion is murder, starting at the moment of fertilization, even before implantation.

Brown calls the PlanB pill, or the Morning After pill, a form of abortion. Then he says other categories of abortion include what happens in IVF when a fertilized egg is created and then destroyed.

wants less government when that government interferes with them and their objectives, but they want to control everyone else. They've been selling the same old BS for decades and the base keeps buying it.

I find the self righteousness of these men and others like them to be unexplainable. How can one person or group of persons think of themselves on a par with their so called god. That is, unless they believe their "god" to be non-existent and simply a way for them to grab ultimate power.

That fucking stupid man that was talking thinks there is a baby the second the egg is fertilized.

It doesn't matter that his facts are wrong.

He can hide behind the usual excuse, "god".

Fuck all of them !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Prove your "god" exists or shut the fuck up !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sick of you sick twisted fucks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"God's will" always happens to coincide with their will, so once they feel freer to act, they'll sort the world to their liking in other ways, too.

The Texas Republican Party is so beholden to the Religious Right and the anti-abortion fanatics that they have to do what they’re told—or get thrown out of office. Judging by the news, it isn’t just the “moderate” anti-abortion fanatics who are calling the shots in the anti-abortion movement, but the crazed fanatics who want to not only ban abortion, but ALL birth control, then jail women for having abortion or even trying to access it.

The only way to put an end to the spread of this malign idiocy is to revoke the benefit of the doubt for any Texas Republican running for office. They’re willing to ban abortion, outlaw birth control, and jail women for having abortions or even birth control. And since their policies would set off a voter revolt even in apathetic and indolent Texas, they have to fudge, lie and obfuscate to the general electorate, then follow their marching orders from the extremists to the letter.

The ONLY way to deal with this crap is to assume that Republicans making moderate noises are lying, always lying. Assume they’re lying no matter what they say. Then vote them out of office.

And if Republican politicos whine about it, point out the obvious—this is the blowback from the Devil’s bargain they made with the Religious Right decades ago,
