if you have a problem paying taxes and worried that those taxes are going to abortions...why not fight the taxes laws?

Seems odd to want to ban all abortions because some may be tax funded.

Then don't try to commit suicide, inject heroin or sell an organ. All are illegal.

As a Texas taxpayer, yes, I am sick of this obscene waste of money in an attempt to roll back reproductive choice back to the back-alley days of pre-Roe.

Nearly all laws are based on morals.

Anyone else tired of posturing that costs millions?
Roe v. Wade is not being touched. Women in Texas are still allowed to kill a child.

There is nothing in Roe v. Wade, that says there cannot be strict requirement to get that abortion, that is perfectly legal to do.

it would be anologous to having the right to own a firearm, but restrict bullets. How would you feel about your 2nd amendment right then.

So what do you do with babies born to mothers who can't afford to raise them, and in turn, our supported by the government?

Looking at the ruling too isolated. The restrictions put on clinics are what was considered to be breaking the precedent in the WI ruling. Same thing will happen to Texas. It is like the Palin quote: "You can put lipstick on a pig, but its still a pig" and that is what this bill is, like the others, a "dressed up, help womens health" faux bill.

It isn't any coincendence these bills are supported by Religious groups and not Medical groups.

As I understand it, the bill improves standard of care requirements -which can't be bad- and prohibits abortions (with sensible exceptions) after 20 weeks, which is the halfway point in the pregnancy. That's plenty of time for a woman to make her 'choice', isn't it? Some here argue that a fetus is part of the woman's body, like a wart or something. Be that as it may, is it unreasonable to give the benefit of the doubt to nascent life at this late point at the very least?

There are certainly pro-Life fanatics. Opposition to these eminently sensible and humane limits on terminating nascent human beings is evidence plain of pro-abortion fanaticism.
