Pro-Choice

During the 2012 elections I suggested that progressive women should rouse their Texas male lovers and partners by using the Lysystrata strategy--informing their partners that they'd get no Whoopie unless they showed signs of having gone to the polls and voted. I was roundly denounced as a sexist and unprogressive for floating this idea.

BTW, Texas voter turnout is notoriously light, particularly among progressives and minorities most likely to be hurt by right-wing legislation.

Well into the 2015 session of the Texas legislature and two rounds of vicious right-wing attacks on reproductive freedom and poorer Texas women's health, I can't help but wonder how fewer Teapublicans there'd be in the legislature if certain voters would have been motivated to vote--or else.
