    Don’t a handful of them want votes from people who believe the world is literally 6000 years old?

    OK, that would be about control, though political control.

    There is probably one Texan legislator, at least, who also believes the 6000 year thing and could pass a lie detector for “do you really believe God breathes souls into life at conception?“

    Now… Could they pass a lie detector for “do you promise you would never pay for your mistress to fly out of state for an abortion?“

    Can’t say no for sure… 🤥

    (Cautioning overestimating malice in a way that underestimates superstition.)

      They probably will, but when the time come they’ll manage to come up with the perfect excuse why their case is special and deserves an exemption.
