Patently absurd. The actual statistic is that only 0.5% of all abortions are performed because the mother's life is at risk. That's only 3,450 per year. Meanwhile, 680,000 human lives are unnecessarily killed via completely elective abortions (that is, abortions that aren't medically necessary, or due to rape or incest - they're performed solely for the sake of convenience) each year.

Every one of those 680,000 fetuses is a risk to the life of the woman carrying them.
The state should not be able to force a woman to risk her life to complete a pregnancy if she doesn't want to.

And yet millions of women have survived childbirth for over 4000 years. Many while working in fields, would give birth, swaddle the baby and go right back to picking crops. Amazing the fortitude of women. Women are much stronger than given credit for being ... It is only the weak minded that believe women 'need' anything.
If you think women will accept a return to pre-Roe, I predict you are in for a rude awakening.
They won't have much of a choice. Our rights have been eroded over the past several decades and no one has been able to stop it. Our 2nd Amendment Rights, 4th and 5th Amendment Rights, etc., have all been eroded... Abortion is no different. Those of you who cheered gun control laws have now had the tables turned and are squealing like stuck pigs now that states are similarly enacting abortion control laws.

Yes it is irrelevant when we are talking about living, breathing, walking, talking human beings who may also be mother's to already living children vs a fetus.
Not one woman should be forced by the state to risk her life to deliver a child.
Lay out your ban birth control plan yet since you value human life so much? All those cute little half babies women are preventing from life every month. Better get busy Ms. Illogical lol.

Agreed women don't need the state telling them when they should or should not carry a pregnancy to term. The state and busy body citizens of the state should butt out.

No woman in America should be forced to remain pregnant against her own wishes. Nor should she have to gestate labor and deliver against her will. Let alone parent for 18 years or give a child up to adoption. Doesn’t matter if she had sex willing or not.
Texas put the decision into the hands of the voters, not the State, for prosecution or not. What do you think State rights mean? Representatives are serving the will of the people. Not the other way around, as seen by the Federal Government.
Not only that, but in making the people the enforcer of their law, TX has abided by the 10th Amendment:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

The people of Texas overwhelmingly disagree with you.
Sure like taking a vacation is equivalent to traveling for a medical procedure.
Many states have just one clinic now, so if she wants an abortion, in many cases, she'll be traveling. This includes Kentucky, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. Texas often has distances between clinics the size of states.
