'Even the Taliban oppose abortion': Texas state Rep. Matt Schaefer tweets reply to critic

In response to a Houston Chronicle letter to the editor that criticized a new Texas abortion law, Republican state Rep. Matt Schaefer on Sunday tweeted "FACT: Even the Taliban oppose abortion. #txlege."

The letter reacted to a story in which an abortion provider sued to stop a law that would allow people to sue health care providers who help anyone have an abortion after a fetal heartbeat is detected.

"This law is what we might expect from the lowest intellects in the Taliban, for instance — where the war on women is never-ending," Mary Needham wrote. "Instead we have Texas Republicans wanting to pay a bounty to anyone who tattles on a (woman) who just might need an abortion."

Schaefer's late night Sunday tweet was roundly criticized on Twitter.

1. GOP slogan "If it's good enough for the Taliban, It's good enough for me!"

2. I'm betting this Schaefer character also thinks he should decide what to do with his

own body re vaccines. They don't seem to grasp the old "stay out of my uterus you pervert" line of thinking.
