Most all of these people are protesting against laws that do not exist. The are protestsing over imagined laws that have not yet been passed in their states. And some of these morons are protesting in states that we all know will have abortion lwas allowing all abortions, anytime, for any reason. Many of these idiots are protesting for no reason, other than to be violent and throw hissy fits.
Several states already have trigger laws in place for when Roe is overturned. So those laws do already exist they just aren't enforceable until after the ruling is made.

It seems that way. All of the anti-abortion arguments I am hearing recently are the same as what I remember from back then. I'm having a lot of deja vu.

Mostly male state legislators trying to make laws for and about women while not having a very good understanding of the female cycle or pregnancy.

The more educated one is, the more likely to be Pro-Choice. The higher ones income, the more likely to be Pro-Choice. It’s a statement of fact. Your response however lands squarely in the LOL category.

My comment on this was in response to a poster who suggested anyone Pro-Choice should be shipped out of Texas. I just wondered based on the FACTS who was going then pony up to support those forced birth babies. I guess they’ll just go hunger. I mean who cares about born babies. Certainly not Texas.

Once you confirm pregnancy you would already be over half way to the deadline in TX.

Then there is getting an appointment to be seen by a prescribing physician, getting time off of work, collecting the funds for a Dr appointment and the medication.
That probably depends on the type of test taken.

People should learn how to be prepared.

So, the anti-abortion arguments that you remember were mainly what if scenarios that had no basis in reality, too?

Even rapid response tests that can be used before a missed period state that they are not accurate and will throw false negatives.

A blood test at a Dr office can pick up HCG 7-10 days after ovulation. Ovulation is generally at the 14 day mark in a 28 day cycle. So you are at 3 weeks minimum before a blood test could possibly determine pregnancy. Remember gestation is not from the day of sex, but from the last menstrual cycle. According to the laws you can be considered pregnant before you even had sex based on gestational age.

We have been through this discussion on that other thread. The so-called "early" pregnancy tests are not reliable. You know this.

It is unfair to try to legislate very restrictive hard and fast time limits on a process that is so variable from woman to woman. Someone on BC is not going to take a pregnancy test twice a week for 40 years just in case the BC/tubal ligation/partner's vasectomy failed. Most of us live in the real world. Some women will not know they are pregnant before 6 weeks.
