I don't say this often on the internet because it doesn't really help the conversation but in this case it's obvious your not here to have a real discussion.
You're an idiot.
You're an idiot because you think banning abortion means you've magically stopped all abortions.
You're an idiot because you didn't read the article you posted and realize a real family was broken for a purely preventable medical emergency.
You're an idiot because you think people get pregnant so the time and just have an abortion as their method of birth control.
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."
Apparently 50,000 people a year did use abortion as birth control.
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.
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.
