Abbott's Abortion Ban - Beto O'Rourke

Beto released his very first TV of the gubernatorial campaign to make sure that every Texan knows that Greg Abbott chose to outlaw abortion beginning at conception with no exception for rape or incest — even though 82% of Texas voters oppose this radical attack on the freedom, health, and lives of Texas women. The only way to overcome the most extreme abortion ban in America is to defeat the man who signed it, win political power, and fight to restore a woman’s freedom to make her own decisions about her own body, health care, and future.

I don’t think any man would put up with regulations n laws concerning their reproductive choices or disrespect to their gender.

If a pregnancy is in life threatening trouble, hospital and doctors are now reluctant to intervene for fear of prosecution.
