Texas Bills Would Bar Warrantless Snooping On Phone Location

pigrabbitbear writes "The Supreme Court may have approved the warrantless wiretapping of American citizens for just about forever, but the good old state of Texas isn't going to take that lying down. Texas lawmakers don't believe that cell phone location data is fair game for law enforcement, and a couple identical bills filed in Texas's House and Senate would provide sweeping protections for private cell users."

    One thing a lot of pro abortion people put on their blinders about is that many women are forced or "strongly coerced" to have abortions by parents, boyfriends, bosses that knocked them up, etc. These women can be led through the process without ever really knowing what is going to happen to them physically and psychologially until it's irreversable.

    Yep, you're from Texas. "Women are stupid and powerless." No doubt, you're Texan!

    I know a woman that had to have the aboriton process on a fetus that died inside her. She was devestated emotionally for years

    Yep, you're from Texas! It's called a "miscarriage," son, and it's nothing like an abortion. She lost a baby that she wanted, you only abort a fetus you DON'T want.

    The govenrment has no place funding chopping up babies

    You think a blastocyst is a baby? Yep, you're from Texas, all right. You make me think of a certain song by Charlie Daniels...
