Self-described “author of fiction” Jack Wallen decried those in Texas who are pro-life as “TexasTaliban.”
Wallen raged on Twitter:
What’s next, #TexasTaliban? Are you going to ban divorce? Refuse women the right to work? Make it law that every woman must get pregnant within a year of marriage? Remove a woman’s right to say ‘no’? Give spousal abuse a big Texas thumbs up? Bring back stoning?
The #TexasTaliban is just piling on at this point. No abortions, no need for a permit to carry a gun. What’s next? Are they going to institute a yearly Purge event? https://t.co/bbPYQCpPre

Another woman named Ariaa Jaeger who teaches her “clients how to move mountains,” advertised her service of “conscious… determination” to apparently defeat the Texas Taliban:
I teach my clients how to move mountains in their lives or at least reduce them to molehills. Collective conscious and determination will produce the results you seek. Flailing will not.
