You can't counter with actual facts, so you're relying on an awful lot of 'but what ifs.'
How is a law that could save 27,000+ females' lives per year a "war on women?" It's just simply not.
Courts look at probable outcomes/harms all the time. I don't need to come up with ironclad facts that will happen in the future.
Any rational person can foresee the negative outcomes of this law. Also, we know what happened in the past when women did not have access to legal, safe abortion.
This bill is quite simply a war on women any way you slice or dice it.
Hey, what’s with racist crap like this? Not cool.
I'm not a male. But those who post regularly know that.
As to race, I'm guessing he's/she's referring to the fact that Black and Hispanic women have higher abortion rates than white women. The takeaway they might have from that is that white people value life more than minorities do (it sure looks that way with all the Black on Black murders), so assumed I'm white because I place a higher value on life.

I'm not seeing it. Saving the lives of 27,000+ females per year is NOT a war on women.
This law is an end run around the ability of the judiciary to uphold the Constitution, and it will have lasting consequences. Neither pro-choice nor pro-life people should be in favor of it.

There is no right to abortion or any other form of healthcare in the US Constitution. If you disagree, cite the Amendment that states women have the right to an abortion, or that anyone has a right to healthcare.
It'll look something like the 2nd Amendment does in regards to arms:
"the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed"
The Mexican border towns, bordering Texas, are applauding this bill, and they'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Abortion pills, 90% effective in aborting a fetus, are available at most pharmacies. In El Paso, a woman only has to walk across the bridge into Juarez.

Anybody can buy Plan B at WalMart for $11.74. The days of traipsing across the border are long gone.

I'm not talking about a Constitutional right to abortion, which as you point out does not exist. (Note that RvW decision upholds a woman's Constitutional right to privacy determined by SCOTUS to be enshrined in the first, third, fourth, fifth, ninth, and fourteenth amendments.) Rather, I'm talking about empowering states to pass laws and deputize citizens without standing to bring lawsuits against their neighbors in order to enforce a law. Regardless of how anybody feels about abortion, nobody should be in favor of that.
