    We’re not celebrating her death. We’re celebrating the massive statistical success of the abortion laws.

    I honestly just saw the article, went “just 3”? And posted it here. Turns out, abortion largely isn’t about saving lives, it’s using it as a psychopathic birth control.

      A damn good trade if you ask me.

      What do you call this, praise? It’s certainly not respect.

          Let me rephrase my previous post so I don’t offend the person calling the preventable deaths of the women “a good trade”.

          You are being ignorant if you believe an abortion ban actually prevents all abortions from happening.

          You are being ignorant if you think putting doctors in jail for trying to save their patients lives is a sustainable practice. Every time abortion laws regress, medical professionals leave the state and mortality rates increase.

          You are being callous to people who maybe you consider to be strangers or worthless people because they sought to have an abortion. But I think you would be singing a different tune if it was your partner, your sister, your mother, who had a miscarriage while the doctors stood by and said, “here take this pill and pray god saves you, because I’m not legally allowed to help you anymore.”

            For the record, I support abortion rights. It does make me a public outlier in the conservative community. In private, many conservatives support abortion rights. We can tell by when it goes up for a vote, even in red states, it wins by a larger majority than just if the Democrats voted for it.

            I thought this would be the issue that caused the Republicans to lose the election, and I was shocked when it didn’t.

            Congress, over the last 50 years, could have created a law to protect abortion rights, but they didn’t. That is where the angst should be with Congress for failing to do their job.

          Birth control isn’t 100% effective and not all pregnancies are viable, nevermind desirable. Texas doesn’t even allow abortions in case of rape you fucking ghoul.

            So because someone raped someone, a completely innocent person should die? That’s your logic?

                    It’s weird, I didn’t notice the missing word until now. It’s supposed to be “I still don’t think baby murder is good”

          As someone wise said, birth control isn’t 100% effective. Best case is 99%, usually a bit less on average. Texas has >30 million people. Assuming 1% have sex once that’s 300,000. If they all use birth control that’s 3,000 potential babies they didn’t want. And I think we can agree these numbers are EXTREMELY conservative.

          Getting pregnant doesn’t mean you didn’t try to prevent it.
