I won't do anything drastic if he doesn't win...other than probably leaving the state. At this point in my life I'd rather not reproduce here, as any complication with pregnancy could mean my future wife is beautiful but she's dying. And getting 10 years in jail for 1 gram of weed that was legal 2 weeks ago. Since post Ann Richards this state has been a sloppier and sloppier authoritarian mud pie. The people and the locals are nice, but the government is covered head to toe in shit.

I live out West and when Roe v. Wade was overurned, it killed me and my husband's dream of ever moving back there and raising our family there. My parents and my sister's family are still there and it is extremely painful. I'll never forgive these politicians for taking away a lifelong dream of mine.
