You can find that info via Google searches. Below is an article documenting the claim from my previous post (it's literally in the 1st sentence). I can understand abortion in certain scenarios such as where the mothers life is at risk but I think it should be the exception and not the rule. If you made a bad choice with your boyfriend one night your child shouldn't pay for that decision with his/her life.

Abortion is murder. If a man or woman don't want kids to the point where they'd have an abortion, then should just not have sex or get fixed.

Repeating it over and over doesnt make it true. He is not opposed to face masks. He believes its a parents choice.

Abortion: "Not your bodies, ladies, not your choice! We men will decide!"

I mean as a man, I just think that it's a woman's choice what to do with her body..... I think what's going on in TX is insane. A woman should have absolute full reproductive control. It's a choice between a woman and her doctor, not some randos who don't agree with her. My personal views should not dictate what another person does with her body. Very simple concept here. And this whole bounty hunter mentality is crazy.... wake up, people. Why are some ppl supporting this?

Trust me, this will lead to zero additional adoptions among pro-lifers. And conservatives will support zero additional social services and support for the additional children born as a result of this law. They don't care about the children after they're born. Look at Florida's school system if you need any evidence.

DeSantis won't be recalled. I hear Massachusetts is lovely this time of year.

IMO, DeSantis anti-vax, anti-mask policies are not only pro baby murder, but pro child murder. If you want to argue that COVID isn't taking sufficient baby and child lives to worry about, well the Delta surge count isn't complete, and what about the long COVID sequelae being inflicted on unknown numbers of children, health deficiencies that may burden them for their lifetimes?

Oh yeah, DeSantis Medicaid expansion opposition also is claiming child lives, as are family food shortages, at least partially due to Florida's inferior unemployment compensation system championed by DeSantis.

Perhaps most importantly, DeSantis' climate change propaganda and inaction will take a heavy toll on children and adults in the decades ahead.

To the extent that abortion laws result in a birth that compromises a family's ability to financially subsist, or a parent is forced to give birth to a child with genetic defects, what will DeSantis and anti-abortionists do to alleviate these burdens? Answer: NOTHING. So much for their self-proclaimed moral superiority.

To the extent that stringent abortion laws raise the birth rate among poor families, further burdening public schools and social services, it's very likely that DeSantis and other anti-abortionist will vehemently oppose any tax increases to compensate for the increased numbers of children. This reality be one reason that many conservatives, especially libertarians, favor abortion rights.

<<About six-in-ten Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases>>

<<The latest Pew Research Center survey, conducted April 5 to 11, finds deep disagreement between – and within – the parties over abortion....

Views among Republicans have remained relatively steady during this period. In 2007, around four-in-ten Republicans (39%) said abortion should be legal in all or most cases; today, 35% say this. >>

Many professional young women may boycott states with stringent abortion laws that limit their ability to make personal choices about their bodies. Anti-abortion states may exacerbate already existing shortages of teachers and medical professionals.

Relatively inferior educational and medical institutions as a result of professional shortages may make Florida less attractive for young couples. Couples planning on having children certainly should think twice about living in a state that prohibits abortions to protect a pregnant mother's life or to avoid the birth of a child with birth defects, especially if the state will provide insufficient or no assistance in caring for such a child. Some states may sanction doctors or others who even advise about abortion options for any reason, which may be the case with the new Texas law as anti-abortion vigilantes advance their prosecution agenda.

Charts such as the following may be carefully considered by young professional women and couples.
