I’m surprised Texas is allowing this to happen. I’m sure they will find a way to tax women in other areas as a result.

What’s with Texas having a bunch of progressive rulings recently? Not mad at it, just surprised.

Broken clocks and all that.

Trying to prove they're not a bunch of oppressive, regressive theocrats. So they'll tell you you can't read certain books, be taught history or social skills or kindness in schools, can't learn about safe sex, make it hard to get birth control, make it impossible to get an abortion, prosecute you and your doctor and your friends if you get an abortion, restrict your ability to vote, gerrymand things so even if you do vote it doesn't count, etc, etc, etc. But they can point to this one thing - hey, there's no tampon tax - and loudly proclaim what a liberal paradise they are. /s, but not really ...

A law is not a ruling.

I'm also curious what other progressive laws you think have been passed? Or even court rulings handed down?

I have to say that I did not expect this from Texas, but it’s certainly good news.

I figured it couldn’t hurt to celebrate the common sense, bi-partisan legislation that passes here. I think this is pretty awesome.
