    People have been making jokes about this exact scenario for decades… a conservative who hates abortions until his mistress needs one.

    They will probably have a euphemism for abortion going forward in some hospitals thay will cater to this type of clientele… because Trump has shown that there really are people above the law.

    In a lengthy interview published on Friday by Texas-based independent outlet Current Revolt, Grace alleged that she and Capriglione — a married father of three who was elected to the state legislature in 2012 — had been romantically involved for almost two decades. She said the two met in 2004, when she was 18 years old and working as a dancer. Grace said they would meet at a variety of locations, including his home and office, describing the representative’s behavior as paranoid to the point of absurdity.

    Did I do my math right? He was 31 and she was 18.

    Born March 8, 1973 (age 52)

      That’s pretty restrained by “conservative” standards.

        We don’t know her exact age right now, it could have been around 18.

          Normally they go for 13 year olds, though.

          Her exact age would be 2025 - 2004 - 18 = 31 assuming she’s already had her birthday thus year. If not, she’s 30.

              Yeah, forgot to carry a 1. She was 18 in 2004 and that was 21 years ago. So she’d be 41.

              The equation was correct but I fucked up the implementation

            Meaning, we’re going off of what she said. We don’t know if she’s trying not to get arrested for illegally working underage or not.

              I highly doubt the statute of limitations applies after 21 years.

              And more likely that the strip joint would be in trouble not her.

                They’re rounding up us citizens and sending them to el salvador or a concentration camp in florida with no due process. Do you really think statute of limitations would be a thing?

                  Whether she was 18 or not at the time isn’t going to make a difference in her being disappeared.

    I’m not saying this isn’t true, but the original source on this, a blog-masquerading-as-news called currentrevolt(dot com), is a straight dumpster fire of awful opinions and shitty takes. So, take this “reporting” with a heap of salt.

      The interview link to it in the article says it’s subscription only. Which is poor planning on their part, but it doesn’t seem too dumpster-firey on first glance. (Not that it isn’t)

    That’s how it always is with these people. Going forward, anytime someone wants to remove rights they should be first investigated.

      I was going to suggest feeding them into a wood chipper but I suppose we can try your method first.
