Hey Texas, I know that you're _anti-abortion_ pro-life and all but if you don't want your state's teens getting pregnant you should provide adequate birth control measures...for free! Or would that displease Sky Daddy?

The fact that they didn't do that is undeniable proof that it was always about controlling women.
