What It’s Like Trying to Get an Abortion in Texas Right Now

Why is no one also talking about the damage this does to women with pregnancy complications or misscarriages. The bill has a loop hole where if anyone suspects you caused your misscarriage they can sue you.

They should add a law where the pro life women’s clinics adopt the children who the parents don’t want

Dads are always allowed to abort their rights. They can get married, have a bunch of kids and just decide they dont feel like being a parent anymore. They can choose to never pay a dime in child support while the mom is forced to stay in a homeless shelter because daycare, rent, bills, etc are almost impossible to afford on one income. You have no clue until you've been put in that situation.

The people willing to go through all the trouble to sue someone for trying to get an abortion should be willing to adopt the kid themselves - no matter whether it's an just an unwanted pregnancy or a severely handicapped or unviable pregnancy

This is not pro-life. This is strictly and uniquely pro-birth. Pro-life would be a living wage, healthcare, education, environment, and housing. The notion that you advocate that all life is precious is incongruent with the presence of the homeless, anti-unionism, lack of healthcare, lax guns laws, the presence of the death penalty, etc. The hypocrisy of calling yourself pro-life while refusing to put on a mask, is the pinnacle cognitive dissonance.

If they’re counting life to be at six weeks does that mean household size for tax deductions and food stamps should also count the unborn child?

Indeed. After a nurse died from septicaemia that resulted when her incomplete miscarriage could NOT be legally evacuated from her body, practically all of the Republic of Ireland voted to change the law.

Keeping abortion legal = keeping it safe and accessible. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, making abortion illegal doesn't prevent abortion, it only makes it dangerous and unsafe. Glad to live in Canada with safe and accessible abortion clinics.

these laws are designed to keep poor people poor

The foster care system about to be a packed to the tea with this new law

‘An unborn child has the right to live’. An unborn child cannot survive without a host. The host has the right to decide this partnership. All those people who are against abortions should put a chunk of their paycheck to support struggling mothers who could not perform an abortion, pay for a lifetime trauma therapy for the mother and the child who suffered from this and do something good by adopting bunch of unwanted kids who their mother couldn’t abort. It’s easy to make verbal decisions for others. If someone want to control another’s decisions, they must also contribute for their wellbeing. Period.

I dont understand how it's illegal to get an abortion but tons of foster kids are beaten and used just for people to make money but nothing gets done about that like wtf is actually going on if your gonna be against abortion then what are you doing for the lives of the foster kids.

i was unwanted and abandoned as a baby. my birth mother was so desperate as a single widow, she put me up for adoption. i still suffer trauma from that adoption, my adoptive parents are barely in my life anymore, and no amount of therapy can ease this feeling of abandonment and worthlessness that always finds a way to wrap itself around me and shroud me in emptiness. when from the very beginning you were deemed worthless, deep inside you think of yourself as that. abandonment is NOT better than being a terminated pregnancy. you dont know what it feels like until youve been through it. and rotting in an institution isnt better. and forcing the mom to take care of their unwanted child is DEFINITELY a recipe for disaster. giving that desperate mom a choice is the only way.

Those girls from ‘students for life’ are so mislead, they should have to talk to all the single moms and other people who need an abortion but can’t get one. Best way to reduce abortions 1) comprehensive sexuality education that includes medically accurate information about abstinence and contraception 2) insurance coverage of and public funding for family planning services 3) greater access to emergency contraception (which prevents pregnancy and does not cause abortion) 4) programs that curb domestic violence and sexual abuse All things Texans has refused to do!

This man barely knows anything about abortion and now he changes his mind that easily just from people knocking on his door.

These girls campaining at peoples houses should be ashamed of themselves. Would be interesting to know what they think about abortion if they end up with an unwanted/ unviable pregnancy...

Abortion laws like this are absurd. I had a friend whose mother had a baby fuse with the womb lining and a catholic hospital refused to abort the birth because the fetus had a heartbeat but when her mother was forced to give birth, it tore her insides out and both her and the baby died a pointless death.

I thought ppl were concerned about government overreach

If life starts at conception, right after fertilization, require the fathers to start paying for child support once pregnancy is confirmed.

I fully support prevention of unwanted pregnancy by mandating men to get vasectomies until they are ready for a child. Why do men not have any physical responsibility to prevent pregnancy? This would stop abortion completely, which is supposedly what pro-lifers want. Clearly it's not true, or this would be policy.
