It is official.

My Grandkids and Mother are moving to Canada.

Her mother the bio grand mother was born in Canada.

The new job is there.

Everything set.

My granddaughters will be safe.

Should not have to be.

My Grandkids are not baby machines.

They are human beings.

Birth control is next.

Abortion was just the start.

1. It should not have to be

I'm so glad my daughters (and I) left Texas.

I hope you'll have many wonderful trips to Canada!

2. I'm glad they will be safe.

It shouldn't have to be like this though.

6. I have had my tears over this.

I will be zooming the kids but it isn't like the same.

They will be safe.

They 11 and 12.

Girls start their periods about now.

We were going to celebrate the oldest coming a woman but now maybe not.

They will be leaving in three weeks.

I am beyond angry and sad.

We didn't get our cross country trip either.

Damn Republicans.

I just have to pull it together when I talk to the kids.

A whole new life for them.

3. "First they fight abortion,. Birth control is next. Then goes sex if you're not married.

Finally out goes sex." Prescient lines from Kristen Lems' song, "Days of the Theocracy"" from decades ago.

OR NOT !

5. I have been unnerved by the Supreme Court decision to let the Texas law stand.

Until it is overturned, the law of the land is that abortion is legal until the point of viability, which has been interpreted as around 20 weeks. Thus, the Texas ban on abortions after six weeks is clearly illegal, yet we have a Supreme Court that declared the law immaterial and nothing to be followed if your religion says the law is wrong! That is so far beyond where we have ever gone that it is beyond disturbing.

I’m not ready to move to Canada, but I certainly understand the desire to move out of a country that has gone completely bonkers, with one of our co-equal branches of government blatantly violating established law and blatantly ignoring the Constitutional clause prohibiting the establishment of religion. If the Texas law is not the establishment of a right-wing Christian belief into law, I don’t know what is. I suppose one could argue that the law does not establish Christianity as the national religion, but the effect is that people who do not share those religious beliefs are forced to live by them. To me, that is the beginning of establishing a national religion.

8. Congrats to them. Sorry that has to happen though.

I'd be moving to Canada tomorrow if I could. It's so much safer there.

[Texaswitchy]

9. Yeah.

It is best for the kids.

It is a great job for the Mom.

They have a apartment waiting for them.

Good school for the kids

10. They will like Canada.

Best to move north now, while they are allowed to do it.

Climate change.

[Texaswitchy]

11. Best place for them.

I thinks it snows where they are going.
