Austin may like to keep it weird, but this is definitely taking that weirdness to new levels. Rep. Jonathan Stickland (R-Dist 92) is trying to make a point in favor of pro-life/anti-abortion, by indicating that he’s a former fetus.
Texas State Representative Jonathan Stickland (R) came up with a unique way to great abortion activists when they visited the State Capitol.
On a sign outside of his office door, Stickland now identifies himself as a “FORMER FETUS” — right next to “District 92.”
Stickland wrote on Facebook that he posted the new sign “in honor” of Planned Parenthood’s visit to the Legislature.
“Today Planned Parenthood is visiting and lobbying the Capitol. In honor of their visit, I put this sign up on my office door,” he wrote. “Organizations that murder children are not welcome in my office.”
Clearly, his mental faculties haven’t fully developed, because he could also be a former sperm, former zygote, former embryo, etc.
He could also be former Star Stuff (since everything on this world was synthesized in stars across the universe):
But I think that might have gotten in the way of his message since he’s catering to a specific group of people who don’t particularly care for science.
This Rep also supports TRAP laws and reducing access to health care for women across the state.

Should it be surprising that Stickland can’t follow legislative rules?
Signs are not allowed to be posted in the walls of the building they were removed and placed in the office of the members

Now expect the typical “I’m being repressed” BS from Stickland even though he can’t be bothered to follow the rules.
