It seems every election-cycle, if Texas does not get its way or, when during a congressional session, bills its Republican party wants get voted down while those they do not want get passed, the Texas Tradition is to threaten secession from the Union like a toddler threatens running away from home.

It has come up again this year, 2023.

Apparently, however, while Texas whines that as part of the Union they should always get what they want regardless of the needs of other states, things like disaster relief the other states give to it, its delegation in DC will deny what is truly needed by most every other state.

When it comes to abortion, the general demand vehemently defended and promoted by states such as Texas is that deciding its legality and any limitations, if allowed, is a matter of states rights, so the federal government cannot and should not allow it nationally.

A one law fits all is just wrong.

Liberal, godless states should not have their sin visited upon the whole country, including states who strongly reject it.

A Texas judge, appointed by Trump, has banned an important medical abortion drug, Mifepristone, which, because of the level in the court system he is, the ruling is applied nation-wide.

This effectively denies all states the right to self determination on this issue.

The medication has been on the market for over twenty years and studies have shown it to be safe and effective. In spite of this, a suit was filed by an anti-abortion group alleging that the approval granted was rushed and the drug is not safe.

Again, facts are ignored to force religious views on the country.
So, a judge in a state that crows about states rights while constantly complaining about the country, threatening secession at the drop of a hat, a perceived slight perhaps, has made a decision that effects a huge chunk 1/2 of the population.

Nothing inconsistent there.

Just the uninterrupted MAGA approach to the rest of us.
