What if there isn’t though? What if people decide they have other things to do or are too tired? The baby will die. We have all kinds of worker shortages, maybe we’ll see a caring for baby worker shortage too.

It's practically a ban on abortion. Making an abortion very difficult to obtain comes close to a ban.

And now, the law of unintended consequences - apparently the rate of early abortions is now up in Texas. Women find out they're pregnant, and race to the clinic because it's now or never to end the pregnancy.

Very often, a woman will panic at first, but as a few weeks go by, she realizes she DOES have enough support to be a mom, and overtime comes to very much want the baby. That's very common.

That process, of the mom coming around and wanting the baby, will end.

Doesn't that make you extremely furious?

Did you know that the Red Cross is sending these pills to the Ukraine for the women and girls raped by the Russian soldiers. Can't have that either, right?
Banning RU-486 is next on their list, you can count on it:

Hypothetical fantasy at best. We’ve been told for decades there are wait lists miles long wanting to adopt infants. Our foster care system has been a stable fall back agency for decades to take care of children that are in need of care. Grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles step up to the plate in many cases.

Yes. And making it a federal crime to use interstate US Postal Service to transport them to states that ban abortion.

Our foster care system is burdened to the breaking point. Kids are remaining in abusive homes until they are beaten to death, because there's nowhere to put them, and kids are being put in hotel rooms with CPS staff taking shifts, and are sleeping in CPS offices.

Add 600K more babies PER YEAR that aren't wanted, and hoo boy.

Look up what tantamount means. The law isn’t a full on ban, but due to the timelines imposed it may as well be. Like I said, women with the means will go to other States. And there’s not a darn thing Texas can do about it. Not your State, not your choice.

Absolute truth. Seems only infants are truly wanted to perspective adopters. 400 thousand kids in foster care. 110 thousand available to adopt and about 17 thousand age out of foster care annually.
