Texas bounty hunters cartoon, by David Horsey

[Hekate]

This struck me deeply when it was published several months ago, and still does. I wanted to use it in a DU conversation recently and it took me days to find it and more days to figure out a way to copy it here. Too late for the person I was trying to communicate with, but I hope you will be okay with my putting it here where I can find it again. Now I can bookmark it properly, and add it to my Journal.

Any comments welcome, but not necessary. I know you all get it. Thank you.

The cartoonist, even makes the dogs look clueless.

6. It's always open season on women--look up the "American Plan"

a nationwide program that started around 1919 to control venereal disease that ended up targeting mostly women, of course. "Morals Laws" allowed women suspected of--well, basically owning a functioning uterus--to be captured, genitally examined at jail, and held in "hospitals" and camps for treatment without trial.

8. From the moment Texas declared their bounties & deputized any *hole who wants to go for it...

… I could not get The Fugitive Slave Laws out of my mind. It sickens me, as I think it should sicken any American.

So when I saw this cartoon, I jumped on it. We have people here who don’t know about the subject and can’t believe it could be true. Horsey has encapsulated it brilliantly.
