Will other states follow Texas' lead?

1. What does the law allow and not allow on abortions?

There is an exception in the Texas law for abortions in cases of medical emergencies. The law does not make exceptions for pregnancies resulting from incest or rape.When a person is six weeks pregnant, it typically means the embryo started developing about four weeks prior, based on the formula used to figure out when a person will give birth. People don't often realize they are pregnant until after the six-week mark.2.

They will go to another state, give a fake address and get on there.

They’re just getting started , next they’ll ban birth control . I know several evangelicals who say birth control destroyed women’s morals

I’m against abortion. I believe life starts at conception. At the same time I don’t think it’s the government’s place to tell women what to do or not to do with their lives. Government is there to protect our rights not force their agenda on us.

They think twice about sleeping around. Maybe gain some morals.

Whatever happened to STOP having UNPROTECTED SEX if you don't want a baby

Do men and women KNOW HOW babies are made Do adults know how not to get pregnant It seems like people don't know how babies are made

According to Texas: you let them try to have the abortion somewhere, hunt them down, kind a like the Predator, so then you can collect that bounty... Then force them to have the baby. 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Will this lead to ladies deciding to remain abstinent, or refusing intercourse without protection causing frustration for 'hormonal' men that won't take no for an answer? The question is are we going to see an uptick there in cases of sexual assault? I hope that's not the case.

leave prostitution and prevent it You don't need to kill children in the name of abortion.

Thank you for click-baiting women’s bodies ABC! So very helpful.

If a woman get raped & get pregnant. is she still supposed to have the child.if a young girl who is raped should she have the child, thats like saying if you wanted to drive to the store and you couldnt because they made a law saying you couldn’t. No one would like it

Yes. The American Taliban is alive and well.

Is there *any* reason to think the deep red states won’t? Pretty dumb question there .
