Typical dims hypocrisy. Pro Abortion, taking the life of a newborn is OK.

I don't live in Texas, so don't really have a dog in the hunt. But I presume Abbott signed it, thereby enacting. I would have thought a staunch Republican would have vetoed a Democrat sanctioned bill.....unless they were ALL garnering votes.

GOP is pandering to the religious right. Dems are pandering to the feminist left. Easy "win" to punish those "bad men".

You are missing the point. Just like FOSTA/SESTA politicians from BOTH parties supported it. These were the least Partisan votes that can be imagined. Not a single member of the Texas House of Representatives from EITHER party voted against it. You can't blame this one on either the GOP or the DEMS, you have to blame them BOTH.

A video of the Texas Senate from May 20th. I can't tell you how much fun I had going through these videos until I found this. Anyway fast forward about 4h 21min in. You can hear Carol A. explain why the bill was changed by her. In short it was a supply and demand argument stating that the increased penalties will reduce the overall supply and demand of prostitution.
