Please give the TX law that says it's illegal for a woman to travel to have an abortion.
There are places in Texas that are 300 miles from a reproductive health clinic. The State forced most of the clinics to close by eliminating funding, and never managed to find replacements the Neanderthals in State Government could live with. They did give millions to some organizations that claimed they would run clinics, then never did. But, hey, that's OK because the people running those organizations were friends of powerful politicians.
Apparently it’s their “way of life”. Yet another lame states’ right argument.
I cannot remember any birth control failing either. Just sayin'..
So my friends who had a child after a tubal ligation were lying? Or my cousin whose doctor did not tell her that the antibiotics she was prescribed would make BC pills ineffective? Your experience is not the experience of everyone.
“In December 2011, the FDA approved the over-the-counter sale of Plan B One-Step for all women of child-bearing age. Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius disagreed with the FDA's decision and Plan B One-Step remains available for all ages, but still requires a prescription for women under the age of 17.”
In all 50 states, they are available over the counter to women 17 and older. Nine states have determined that a pharmacist can prescribe them to younger females.
Plan B are not "abortion pills". They are contraceptives. In fact, all it is is a triple dose. It won't be long before Republicans outlaw contraception as well though.
Besides that, there is a risk of damage both physical and emotional.
Pregnancy does offer long term health benefits, such as a decreased risk of breast cancer.
But I suspect you know that. Nothing is going to change your mind, and vice versa.
Really? Wow, I guess my Mom didn't really have breast cancer, then, after having two children and a miscarriage.
