And so it begins

A woman was charged in Texas courts for "Murder" for a "self-induced abortion", appears the charges have been dropped now. Also, the woman was clearly identified and named, what ever happened to HIPPA? I'm amazed there hasn't been a mass migration out of Texass by women there...

There's always birth control.

@Spoiledbrat And how long will it be before they ban that too?

If I lived in Texas, I would never go without birth control. I don't know why some people take the risk tbh. @spjennifer

@Spoiledbrat On a side note, I did some counseling for a youth church group. You would be shocked to hear what some believe to prevent pregnancy. If those same ideas carry into adulthood it’s no wonder people take risks.

I live in a blue state and I still wouldn't take the chance. Abortion is not good for you and knowing me I would probably think about it for the rest of my life. @SageWanderer

@Spoiledbrat I agree that’s why I feel knowledge, options and availability should be provided. “Just say no” didn’t work for drugs and it won’t for sex either.

I've never been against abortion. I just personally never wanted to do it. To be honest I was horrified at the thought. I'm not going get pregnant now. I'm 49 so... @SageWanderer

More often than not because their religion forbids it or they are ignorant that it even exists which is saying a lot in today's age of information but it is nonetheless true... tbh, if I was a birth capable woman and "lived in Texass" I'd have mine sown shut or move the hell outta there!
