That’s about how it’s been the past couple of decades.
It probably would have stayed that way if the left didn't promote abortion so actively and encourage people to "shout their abortion" or light up the ESB pink to celebrate abortion availability for personal choice up to birth.
These laws are a response to the that "progressive" behaviour.
Have the baby, then offer it up for adoption if you don't want to keep it.
The only exception is if the life (not just the health) of the mother is in significant danger.
ANY pregnancy can affect the health of the mother, and makes far too easy an excuse.
Rape/incest? Horrible. But you can't be un-raped, its trauma will stay with you for the rest of your life, whether you decide to kill the baby or not. Abortion is NOT a "solution" to rape. And the rape was not the baby's fault. See 2nd and 3rd lines above.
Go though that then come back here and talk to us... OH wait... you must be a male...
Simplistic version…First trimester for elective abortions. At doctor’s and mother’s discretion together for later terminations for medical reasons. And we educate people, make birth control more available. And then make choosing life less frightening with universal healthcare and more paid parental leave. Like all other first world countries.
Every state should make this decision. If Texas says 6 weeks, so be it. If you live in Texas you can move, or change politicians, and get it changed to some other # of weeks.
Nope, not until a man has to go through what a female does, from monthly periods to full term pregnancy.
Let one man go through that that, then we'll talk.
Ok, you totally lost the thread there.
The discussion I was participating in was noting that neither an individual sperm nor an individual egg will create a child. It takes both halves.
Maybe in math form. Man + Woman (sperm + egg) = baby.
Without both components you could make a clone, but not a new original human.
The fact you blame men for females menstrual cycle is irrelevant to the conversation.
There wasn't a time where "more responsible about sex" wealthy paid for illegal abortions the poor were forced to have children they could not pay for. Also forced to marry someone who they didn't want to be with and many ended in divorce. Those children ended up as future criminals not all but most. These things were hidden from society so the image was not tarnished yet it happened. Procreation is a part of evolution not all procreate the ones who are rejected by woman will not pass on their DNA that's just Darwin theory maybe a few of those in this tread who want to ban abortion.
Yes there was a time when people were more responsible about sex because of the consequences.The statistics are out there for all to see. Compare the rates of unwanted pregnancies 60 years ago to today. Compare out of wedlock birth rates.

2/3 of Americans believe abortion should be legal, but have restrictions. As of right now, there are virtually no restrictions on abortion. Casey barely moved the needle.
And how about "Texas has a bunch of people who love children and hate seeing them killed".

No it was NOT like that after Roe. Virtually all state laws were swept away by Roe. In the 50 years since states have tried to reassert their Constitutional rights.

The genocide of abortion falls most heavily on communities of color, which was the intent all along by Democrats like MargaretSanger.

Your views are disgusting. You think it is okay to kill children.

Seriously? You think it is hard to get condoms? You think every boy and girl from about 12 years old on don't know how babies are made and how to prevent it?
