another state another pointless abortion bill that will be thrown out by federal court.
Texas lawmakers are considering a bill that would allow a woman who undergoes an abortion procedure to possibly be charged with capital murder – a crime punishable by death in Texas.
House Bill 896, introduced in the Texas House Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence Committee, would remove the exception in the penal code for criminal homicide that applies to women and medical professionals and allow them to be charged with murder of an unborn child.
The measure would be a blanket ban on abortion procedures in the state, allowing the state to enforce the bill “regardless of any contrary federal law, executive order, or court decision.” The landmark 1973 US Supreme Court decision in Roe v Wade affirmed the legality of a woman’s right to have an abortion under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.
If Republican really care about lowering abortion rates they would give out free birth control.
Colorado officials last week announced the state’s teen pregnancies have dropped by more than 50 percent over eight years thanks largely to a program that provides no- or low-cost intrauterine devices and long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) implants at 75 Colorado family planning clinics.
The state’s teen abortion rate fell even more, by 64 percent.
Same I love the added part that they will enforce it no matter what “regardless of any contrary federal law, executive order, or court decision.” can’t wait for them to do that.
How exactly do you pay for abortion and related services if you cannot pay for birth control? Where is the logic here?
And what is the excuse with Planned Parenthood accepting patients with and without insurance? 100% free female b c on all health insurance policies of the A C A?
■■■■ draining state taxpayers for this ■■■■ when they’ve already been bled for it by the ACA.
It’s a duplicate program. Dude, do you speak financialese!
We already have the Affordable Care Act. That covers female birth control at 100%.
They see both insured and uninsured patients. They do STD testing. Why can’t these irresponsible individuals pick up some rubbers there? Or at County Public Health Anonymous HIV division?
Who is earning so little they can’t afford male or female bc in the Family Planning aisle at CVS? And no one has answered this, but how are they paying the abortionist or the lab that examines the Products of Conception? That’s one strange math class some are taking.
This whole we have to be drained to make services FREE FREE FREE gets ridiculous! And it’s never enough. Pretty soon some will be demanding a free public health nurse be paid to babysit these irresponsible individuals to insure they put on the rubber and properly take the Pill.
Enough! If state voters want something like this, than we should eliminate the burdensome Affordable Care Act.
Good example of why I as someone who is more pro life than not despite the majority pro lifers. The best way to reduce abortion is easily available birth control to all, sex education, and adoption incentives. But most pro lifers would rather there be more abortions than support these things.
