I worked at a law firm for seven years (I'm not a lawyer). One thing I noticed was that every year, a bill was proposed by a state legislator. It mandated the death penalty for any woman who had an abortion.
The only difference from year to year was the *method* of execution required. One year it was death by hanging, the next by electric chair, then firing squad, lethal injection, etc. etc. etc. I imagine the guy jerked off while writing those bills!
But note, he never lost his office. The voters and the corrupt system kept that psycho securely in place. And this is a famously "liberal" state.

New Jersey is a state located in both the Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern regions of the United States. Located at the geographic hub of the heavily urbanized Northeast megalopolis, it is bordered to the northwest, north, and northeast by New York State; on its east, southeast, and south by the Atlantic Ocean; on its west by the Delaware River and Pennsylvania; and on its southwest by Delaware Bay and Delaware. At 7,354 square miles (19,050 km2), New Jersey is the fifth-smallest state in land area. According to a 2024 U.S. Census Bureau estimate, it is the 11th-most populous state, with over 9.5 million residents, its highest estimated count ever. The state capital is Trenton, and the state's most populous city is Newark. New Jersey is the only U.S. state in which every county is deemed urban by the U.S. Census Bureau. It is the most densely populated U.S. state.

How to Identify Fugitive Democrats
By Texas Governor Greg Abbott
My fellow Americans:
WINGS_radioBig story from #Texas - #Democrat #legislators taking last-ditch measures to keep GOPs from further #gerrymandering the electoral #districts in order to further reduce numbers of Dems being elected to #Congress from that state. History repeats itself, but now a law will impose big penalties. The Dems are prepared for that risk. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/08/03/texas-democrats-quorum-break-redistricting-map/?ref=readtangle.com
beSpacificDuring the first few months of new #Trump administration #WhiteHouse slashed #cybersecurity budgets, staff, and initiatives. And some, including cybersecurity experts & #legislators, are not happy about it. One of them is Colin Ahern, chief cyber officer for state of #NewYork. In a recent interview with TechCrunch, Ahern said that both he and New York Governor #KathyHochul are worried that the Trump administration’s cuts to cybersecurity are putting the country at #risk. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/28/new-york-state-cyber-chief-calls-out-trump-for-cybersecurity-cuts/
