Texas Loses All Its Medicaid Money (for Women) Due to Its [War on Women]

Really, they're missing a golden opportunity. If they allowed priests and bishops to get married and have kids, and for that matter allowed women to be priests at all, they might be able to talk. Maybe. As long as you claim to be celibate and chaste, though, what the fuck business is it of yours?
Laughably easy.

I recently was gifted a thing in Steam. If it was from you, thank you very much!
Didn't scotus just rule against these kinds of cases?
Only with regard to employees the church considers "ministers."
There was just a big SCOTUS case saying this sort of thing was, more or less, perfectly legal.
The reason she might win this one is only because apparently infertility is considered a disability under the law, which may change the case somewhat.
The disability thing won't matter after Hosanna-Tabor; that case was about a disability as well (narcolepsy), plus the fact that some genius came up with the idea to make it "against our religion" to sue the church.
If she was actually a secular employee (more like a janitor than a priest) then she might have a case.
"It's against our religion to get sued!" doesn't work. The issue with the recent SCOTUS decision is that religious groups can do whatever they want re their *ministerial* employees. A woman can't sue the Catholic church for refusing to hire her as a priest, say.
It basically means that any time a religious organization does something shitty to its secular employees, the employee will have to deal with a bullshit motion claiming they were 'ministerial'.

But the bad news is Texas may just defund the program altogether.
It looks like a higher court has reversed this ruling.

And how they follow adoption and orphanage workers home and murder them and their wives. Good stuff.

I mean, yay for Governor Dayton and all, but state Sen. Gazelka seriously goes on about Viagra like it's a fucking fertility treatment, completely ignoring the (ahem) recreational uses of it.
"I note that you sponsored the restriction of the use of Ru-486, but still think that Viagra should be unregulated. Can you explain that, Senator?"

And now I know why the Mrs. crossed out every single one of my potential job applications that had "Texas" anywhere on it.
holy shit their update:
Jesus christ do you think he understood any of what he just said? any of it? I think I am done reading the internet for a while.
Edit: This is actually their new attack plan isnt it? when someone calls them on lying for distraction, they claim their attackers are changing the narrative right? its the "NU UH, YOU" defense? My boss claimed this when people were outraged by rush calling that woman who said it was too expensive to have sex a slut. "why do they have to change the narrative instead of arguing about the facts her testimony?" "How are they changing the narritive when rush changed it by calling her a slut instead of arguing what she said was wrong? They are directly reacting to him". "omg I dont see how that has anything to do with it". we then had to have a discussion because he didnt think it was offensive that rush used the word slut. He backed down really quickly when he realized he said that out loud.
No, that's the kind of thing a first year law student would tell you.
If you are weak on the facts, argue the law
If you are weak on the law, argue the facts
If you are weak on both, pound the podium
Quite frankly I'm inclined to believe him on this particular wrinkle being a non-issue
I fixed this so it's actually pithy. It was annoying me.
whatever
the point was it is a common aphorism, not one maliciously invented by the texas ag office
