Hope they don't choke.

And, as expected, as of this morning, Texas is no longer providing abortions. A fertilized egg is a human being.

Which makes it a state issue

Story time... I work with several retired nurses who remember what it was like before the Roe vs Wade ruling. There were women coming in to the hospital every single day with internal bleeding from botched abortions done at home or done by some doctor in a basement clinic.

The nurses explained that even though they personally do not like the idea of abortion, it being legal is so much better than the alternative. But of course people who want abortion banned won't care about this and will say the women deserved it.

Either way, I think this is an idiotic move. Republicans were more than likely going to clean house in November and now with this ruling, swing voters will come out in droves and certainly won't be voting Republican.

I wonder if the liberals will still fly the Ukraine flag on their social media accounts once they realize that abortion is limited to the first 12 weeks of a pregnancy there, which is 3 weeks earlier than Mississippi's law, which started this. LOL

Exactly!

Women do not have equal rights under the U.S. Constitution.

Might be the most ignorant comment on the thread. Impressive.

News flash: Men don't have a right to an abortion, either.

The abortion bans popping up in States prove that freedom in America is being attacked like never before. At this rate things in the States will really go down the toilet.

In response to what's happening the pro abortion protesters need to form freedom convoys and go to States like Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana. There they need to start honking their horns at all hours in front of the State capital buildings of these States, as well as chant things like liberty and freedom. And they need to do this until Dictator Tyrants like Greg Abbott or Kevin Stitt change the ban. Other wise America will be lost.

Meaning what exactly? Human beings are determining what the law supposedly is. As with religion, interpretation is subjective.

Name one medical decisions that men in the U.S. are not allowed to make about their own bodies.
