I know there has always been abortion, and I also know it was a contributing factor to their extinction as well as they reduced the size of their military. (cannibalism was another practice and there was a decline in their religious beliefs)
How are we doing in conjunction with those societies that have been here before us?
I'm thinking, we're traveling the same path. I don't believe we have smartened up the least bit, nor have we grown a pair. We behave as children, not wanting to take responsibility for our actions, we have become helpless expecting our government to bridge the gap of the rights and wrongs through the legal systems, so that when we do behave irresponsibly, there are laws to help with that.
Morals should evolve to protect the species, rather than destroy it.
Reduction of military and abortion was the reason for the Mayans and other civilizations disappearing, are you being serious.

There was a paper published on a university web site, that has since been taken down, that the author (student) in their studies, outlined the factors that led to the extinction of many of the ancient cultures and societies. The one(s) I remember listed under each was a decrease in the size of their military & and a decline in religious beliefs.
As for as abortion. Maybe not so much ripping them from their mother's womb, but still, societies present and preceding have killed their babies.
"Children were often selected as the sacrificial offerings."
A belief that life is precious is not a belief that present or past cultures are willing to believe in. So yes, if we kill ourselves off faster than we multiply out, we will one day become extinct, just as those who have come and gone before us.
They say one can not legislate morals. Can we at least legislate survival of human beings?
The Texas law does not stop abortion .It does require a dr who performs abortions to have admitting privileges to a hospital. All it does is to make sure if something goes wrong in the abortion that the doctor can get them admitted to a hospital .
What I would like to know is since when can a hospital turn away a person in need?
It's a matter of expediency. In an emergency it's better to have the doctor that already knows the woman's medical history and what is going on be able to care for her.
Quote:
If a woman was being attended to by a doctor without admitting privileges and something went wrong, would Texas hospitals slam the door in her face?
If not....why is this law even needed?
No they won't turn her away but the time it takes for another doctor to make the diagnosis to her problem may be the difference. Why is it such a problem to have a doctor with admitting privileges? Is it not suppose to be "safe and rare"?
