versa? Which is it? What other rights now will the fetus have that we're not aware of, that will occur in the future? A mire, if there ever was one, one of TX's own doing.

Since they are so willing to go after doctors who perform abortions, follow women across state borders (when they can legally), and pay an award / bounty to catch people undergoing abortions, performing abortions, under the table so to speak, charge these thugs with murder since they truly are the ones that caused the death of the fetus.

A tragic situation that should not ever happened had medical care been promptly made available.
