Watch TX GOPers Discuss Death Penalty For Women Who Have Abortions

That's not very pro-life of them.

Hood County, Texas Democratic Chair Adrienne Quinn Martin posted a video of Republicans who gathered for an event by Abolish Abortion Texas, and not one attendee pushed back when the featured speaker suggested that women who get an abortion should receive the death penalty. The room agreed with the extremist views being thrown out there all willy-nilly as if it wasn't a big deal that they wanted to kill women.

Hood County Constable Scott London, Hood County GOP Chair Steve Biggers and Hood County GOP Chair candidate Greg Harrell were in the room, according to Texas Democrats.

One person even referred to pregnant minors as pregnant women. And, of course, this group does not believe in exceptions for rape and incest.

London and Harrel also signed a pledge from the same group vowing to abolish all circumstances of abortion care in Texas.

Via Texas Democrats:

The video was obtained by Hood County Democrats Chair Adrienne Quinn Martin and took place at a True Texas Project chapter's meeting in Granbury, Texas. The event was hosted by Monica Brown–who is known for her attempts to ban books she deems inappropriate–and originally streamed from her Facebook page in January.

Paul Brown, who is the Director of Policy for Abolish Abortion Texas (AATX) said that IVF is a form of abortion and that when a fertilized egg is destroyed it should be considered murder, saying "Their lives [women] don't matter any more than the babies' they are killing."

Brown also said how the group is against basic contraception pointing to the emergency contraception pill Plan B, saying that it "terminates or kills a baby prior to implantation – which is an abortion"

Brown went on to say that they will "never be okay with abortions in the instance of incest or rape," with several audience members suggesting that pregnant women and doctors who perform abortions should be "held accountable" to the highest extent of the law.

I have a better idea: Stay out of our personal business. Republicans are way past getting creepy after Roe was overturned.
