When it comes to women’s reproductive rights, Texas is taking a cue from The Handmaid’s Tale. And while the show is deservedly very popular, it wasn’t meant to be a blueprint for legislation.
But it looks like a few white dudes in Texas thought the show had some pretty good ideas. In fact, the state passed a Heartbeat Bill that makes it unlawful for a woman to have an abortion after six weeks – a scant window of time in which many women don’t even know they’re pregnant yet.
The bill, signed into law by up-for-re-election Gov. Greg Abbot, is the strictest in the country and handily dismantles the precedents set by Roe v. Wade in 1973. The bill also kicks off an open season on abortion clinics, giving pro-lifers the opportunity to sue them out of existence at every turn.
The one sticky caveat in the new bill is that reporting unlawful abortions is at the sole discretion of the great people of Texas. Meaning family Thanksgiving is about to get real interesting this year.
To help these citizen watchdogs (AKA busybody snitches) report illegal abortions, a powerful pro-life lobby has set up a special website to turn nosy neighbors (and curious cousins) into spies for God.
This is where the furry porn comes in.
Internet heathens caught wind of the whistleblower website and began forming ranks, sending in anonymous tips that can only be described as images that are un-scrubbable from your eyeballs. And yes, some of them involved pornographic GIFs of the furry variety.
In the first useful moment since the internet was invented, the spam movement spread across social media as more and more outraged citizens began blowing “the whistle” as hard as they could.

Let’s hope the Texas Heartbeat Act doesn’t last six weeks. After all, the world has enough trouble on its plate to handle another side of religious zealot mash potatoes.
