The sad truth in Texas is that if you are a 14-year-old that has been raped you have to deliver that child and deal with all of that trauma for months, however they will not require you to wear a mask to protect yourself from Covid. Essentially the virus has more rights than women in Texas!

I spent my early years living in a housing project. There were women all over the projects that offered the "clotheshanger" method since it wasn't legal. Abortions won't stop, they'll go underground again and many women will die from getting living room abortions.

What's going to happen is:

Girls will not report rapes or their rapist anymore because they'd be forced to deliver the child Rapists are going to coordinate turning in their own victims for the reward Obviously many girls will try a procedure themselves, with yes, a hanger, or other absolutely archaic means that are all extremely dangerous and will result in many deaths.

Imagine living one of the wealthiest nations and this is how you have to live. Texas proving that yes they are on the highway to the dark ages in some absolutely wild ultra conservative wet dream. Lets bring back murder mobs and deal with politicians how they use to, too! It's an old tradition, I'm sure they would approve.

Edit: For people saying there are exemptions to rape... no, not really. You're an idiot. If the fetus has a heartbeat, you are still forced to carry to term. Read the bill yourself.
