Tick-tock, Francis.

Hold on, T-Boy.

I'm on my way.

Just hold on, damn it.

[brakes squeal] Shit, did Valeed shoot you? Who's Valeed?

Such a promise, of course, was not legally binding.

A district court overturned the law, but Ho and the Fifth Circuit reinstated it, arguing that coerced burial protected religious freedom of the Catholic bishops.

Quote, "The First Amendment expressly guarantees the free exercise of religion, including the right of bishops to express their profound objection to the moral tragedy of abortion," Ho wrote.

Texas still requires that fetal remains receive burial or cremation.

As we'll explain later, it's not only on the issue of abortion that Ho has staked out an extreme position.

In Mans v.

Sessions, the Fifth Circuit Court, by an eight to seven vote, narrowly avoided overturning a federal gun law that prohibited interstate gun sales.

Quote, birthright citizenship is a constitutional right, no less for the children of undocumented persons than for the descendants of passengers of the Mayflower, Ho said in a two thousand and seven opinion piece for the Des Moines Register.

Governing," he suggested, "would become impossible."

According to a systemic literature review on the determinants of vaccine hesitancy among Black Americans, vaccine hesitancy in Black communities is rooted in a troubling history of unethical medical experiments, and it persists to this day due to how this group of the population still experiences discrimination, racism, mistreatment, and overall health inequity.

The most famous case of the medical abuse of marginalized people - and it's really entered the fo- folk culture to the point that when I was teaching American history classes at a community college, all the students had heard about this particular atrocity - and it was called the Tuskegee Experiment.

What actually happened is that African American men who got sexually transmitted diseases would go to this medical clinic that had been established, and the doctors with this grant wanted to see what the trajectory of syphilis would be if it was untreated.

So, these were people who already had STDs, and they were given a placebo.

They were given basically a sugar pill rather than penicillin or any other ameliorative care.

And the doctors' mission, in their minds, was, let's find out if syphilis progresses in the same way with African American men as it does with white men.

And so they wanted to see, 'cause they knew that syphilis will, untreated, eventually attack the central nervous system.

Galton was in despair that all those improvements in-

And that's led to a school fight that has the entire country looking on.

This is how Kobe Burren ended up with the World Geography textbook that used the word workers to describe chattel slaves.

Kathy Miller of the anti-censorship group Texas Freedom Network said, quote, It's no accident that this happened in Texas.

We have a textbook adoption process that's so politicized and so flawed that it's become almost a punchline for comedians.

Those serious about education aren't laughing, however.

In 2018, the state board removed Hillary Clinton, the first woman to be presidential nominee of a major political party, from the list of major historical figures Texas students must learn about, a decision later reversed after embarrassing news coverage.

In 2010, the board mandated that textbooks depict the Civil War as primarily a struggle over states' rights and not slavery, a choice that was later modified in 2018 to return slavery as the primary cause, but still maintained that, quote, states' rights and sectionalism were key contributing factors.

When Heston's wife gave birth to a son, DeMille sent her a telegram saying, "Congratulations, he's got the part."

We have seen for six years a federal government disrespecting the liberty of the citizens, and, and that produces fear.

Suffice it to say, the Obama administration did not overthrow the state government.

The intense outrage and fear generated over army combat preparations might have seemed perplexing to those outside of Texas, a state that prides itself on being patriotic and pro-military.

However, seething distrust of liberal elites is a lucrative business in Texas.

Alex Jones built a fortune of two hundred and seventy million with his internet show and sales of dubious health and survivalist products advertised on those broadcasts.

This is nothing new south of the Red River.

From the beginning of its history, the state has been an incubator for outlandish and occasionally not completely unreasonable conspiracy theories.

And if only the right people, the sort of heroes of the story, of the movie that they think that they're watching, if only those people would step forward and pull off the mask of the villains, then everything would be set right.

And the anti-abortion campaign at the time itself had to do not just with limiting women's autonomy, but also with racism and anxiety over immigration.

Through it all, Texas became a central battlefront in the culture wars surrounding women's bodily autonomy.

One group of Texans won women the right to an abortion in the Roe case, while another worked almost immediately to reverse Roe and to recriminalize choice.

Meanwhile, a Dallas district attorney, Henry Wade, played an underappreciated and underexplored role in the battle.The often dour Puritans who established the British colony of Massachusetts in the 1620s may have created an oppressive theocracy, but they proved surprisingly indifferent when it came to women's decisions when and if to have children.

Based on British common law, the colonies in New England allowed abortion up to the quickening, which is when women can first feel fetal movement.

In that era, it was the first clear sign of impregnation.

This moment varies widely for women, but it generally happens during the fourth or fifth month of pregnancy.

Uh, can you hold the line just a second? I'm talking to Tom Johnston, the press secretary for Lyndon Johnson, who has reported that, uh, the 36th president of the United States died this afternoon in a, a ambulance plane on the way to San Antonio, where he was taken after being stricken at his ranch, the LBJ Ranch in Johnson City, Texas.
