Great news

Good 👍

People are not going to stop getting abortions just because Texas isn’t allowing them! They will just go to other places to get them.

You just think there is a steep decline. Abortions will never stop, they have always been done since the beginning of time. They are now just going to be done in secrecy or out of state. No longer “Under His Eye.”

I wonder if the ones being performed in “back allies” were included on this report.

How many took their chances with a coat hanger? Or simply went to another state to get their abortion?

But an increase in Oklahoma.

Abortions is not something women should wanna do.

ABC’s crack investigative reporters crack a tough one!

Next new law I propose, “If you are the father of an unborn child and don’t stick around, provide, and protect for a minimum of 21 years, you will be castrated within 30 days of your failure to “man up”

Forced birth. Even in cases of rape and incest. RepublicanTaliban

Back to hotel rooms and coat hangers

There’s really no difference between republicans and the Taliban. RepublicanTaliban

Women will find other ways, like getting the abortion pill from drug dealers, going to other states or using underground clinics. For many, they’ll now get late term abortions.

I’m surprised to hear there are any doctors practicing in Texas anymore.
