Saw you guys liked my sign. Thought I would repost it since the first one was deleted because of rule #5.

The religious right has FAR too much influence in the USA

Posted this as an answer to a comment, but after reading more comments I realised that more people in the comments might need to know these stuff:

Pregnancy weeks don’t count as actual weeks since conception, it’s the number of weeks since the last menstrual period started, which is usually about two weeks before conception, variations are usually within 1.5-3 weeks before conception

Pregnancy test results aren’t reliable until the day your next menstrual cycle would’ve started if you weren’t pregnant, which means the day your period would’ve started, this is usually four weeks after your last period, variations are usually within 3-5 weeks and usually longer than shorter

If you have a long menstrual cycle, as in a five weeks cycle, you only have one week to get an appointment at an abortion clinic

If you have a longer menstrual cycle than that, well, then you can’t know you’re pregnant until it’s literally too late to get an abortion

Do you really think you’re getting an appointment the same week as you book? It doesn’t even matter what kind of appointment we’re talking about, there are always queues to everything

Abortion clinics are far apart in Texas, so most people have to drive far

The law is the same for rape victims, for people whose contraceptive methods failed (no method is 100% fail proof), and for people who didn’t have proper sex ed and simply didn’t know how things work (there are for real people out there who think that you won’t get pregnant if you pee after vaginal-penile sex, which is not true!)

If a rape victim is 12 years old, do you really think she’ll tell anyone that she was raped? She might not even understand what happened and she might not know that it can result in pregnancy (especially in Texas I presume, since it’s not really known for having good sex ed)

It’s possible to get pregnant usually around a month before your very first period, and pregnancy weeks still counts from around 2 weeks before conception

This law won’t stop abortions, it will stop SAFE abortions
