GOP convention votes on wide-ranging platform including striking law protecting abortion providers from being charged with murder

Texas Republicans are open to applying the death penalty to abortion providers, a new proposal from the state party indicates.

Over the weekend, during the Texas GOP convention, Republican delegates voted on a party platform for 2024 that proclaims “abortion is not healthcare, it is homicide” and suggests striking a state law that protects abortion providers from being charged with homicide. In Texas, capital murder is punishable by the death penalty. Killing a child under the age of 15 can qualify as capital murder, the most severe form of homicide.

Elsewhere in the platform, the Texas GOP calls for “legislation to abolish abortion by immediately securing the right to life and equal protection of the laws to all preborn children from the moment of fertilization”.

Remember when people said we were overreacting when we said these exact things would happen if Hillary lost?

Prediction: doctosi will flee Texas to avoid, you know, being murdered by the state, and soon enough there won't be enough doctors left to provide adequate healthcare there, causing many more deaths.

Texas, where life goes to die.

Hate and stupidity make horrific bedfellows. Especially when given power over others.

But abortions are provided by care clinics and hospitals. Isn't it republican policy to fine the company and let all the people continue their business.
