A total abortion ban criminalizing the procedure and classifying it as a homicide cleared a committee Tuesday and will now be debated at the Texas House of Representatives. If House Bill 896 becomes law, abortion could carry penalties ranging from a state jail felony to a capital felony, and patients who seek the procedure could in theory be punished with the death penalty.
One will learn to no longer vilify abstinence.
Young people will smarten up and keep their
privates locked away until they get married.
My opinion:
I just saw this disgusting commercial singing joyfully on contraception.
Woman and men dancing alongside children. Children? the ones they
are trying to snuff out in the first place? Really................Shameful.
Call me old fashioned but my heart only cries for the future of the unborn.
Things have just gone too far......
???? I wonder what you have against contraception, given that you don’t like abortion.
Seems to me that a rational person who truly hated abortion would support contraception for anyone who wants it, and would support making sure that everyone understood how contraception works.
Hmmm. Maybe YOU don’t understand how contraception works?
A proposed Texas House bill that would subject women who get abortions to criminal liability and possibly the death penalty will not be making it out of committee, says the committee's chairman.
State Rep. Jeff Leach (R-Plano), who serves as the chairman of the House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence, issued a statement Wednesday evening on House Bill 896.
"My commitment to advancing the pro-life cause is stronger than ever and that's why I cannot in good conscience support House Bill 896..." Leach said. "Trusted pro-life legislators and advocates agree with that this bill moves our state and the pro-life cause in the wrong direction and it will not be advanced from the House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence."
The bill is already dead in committeeas of yesterday. What is the point of posting this topic today?

This is what it's all about.
But in reality teenagers will still have sex. There's nothing the Christian Right can do to stop it. Even if we get to a point where we are stoning people to death for it, people will find ways.

A matter of control. Old conservative men - in Texas and in Saudi Arabia - hate the idea of young women with the sort of agency that will let them, for instance, have recreational sex.
I'm pro-life but we are NOT going to put women in prison for having an abortion. It's not going to happen. I don't support doing so at that either.
