A Republican state lawmaker in Texas has reintroduced a bill that would criminalize abortion without exception, making it possible for women to be convicted of homicide and sentenced to death for having the procedure.
Texas state Rep. Tony Tinderholt (R) was placed under state protection in 2017 when he first introduced the bill because of the death threats he received, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
His bill earned its first public hearing this week, and he argued that his intention is to guarantee “equal protection” for life inside and "outside the womb.”

“I believe there is a basis for my concern, but I’m not going to discuss the basis.”
Panic?
During the April 10 hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Barr was asked about his intent to form a team to probe potential surveillance abuses against the Trump campaign.
“As I said in my confirmation hearing, I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016. A lot of this has already been investigated, a substantial portion of it has been investigated and is being investigated by the Office of the Inspector General at the department,” he said.
“But one of the things I want to do is pull together all the information from the various investigations that have gone on, including on the [Capitol] Hill and in the [Justice] Department, and see if there are any remaining questions to be addressed.”
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) responded, “And can you share with us why you feel a need to do that?”
“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal, it’s a big deal,” Barr said.
“The generation I grew up in, which is the Vietnam War period, people were all concerned about spying on anti-war people and so forth by the government and there were a lot of rules put in place to make sure that there’s an adequate basis before our law enforcement agencies get involved in political surveillance. I’m not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it’s important to look at that. And I’m not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly.”
Shaheen continued, “So you’re not suggesting, though, that spying occurred?”
“I think spying did occur. Yes, I think spying did occur,” Barr said, followed by a moment of silence in the room.
“The question is whether it was predicated, adequately predicated,” he continued. “And I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated, but I need to explore that. I think it’s my obligation.”
Later in the hearing, Barr elaborated, saying, “I believe there is a basis for my concern, but I’m not going to discuss the basis.”

Bozo’s Circus?
A blogger at a conspiracy theory website owned by Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, having been jilted by the Attorney General William P. Barr’s findings that exonerated President Donald J. Trump from her own anti-Trump conspiracy theories, now wants Barr impeached.
“Instead of impeaching Trump why not impeach Barr?” allegedly conservative blogger Jennifer Rubin said on Twitter.
