11. And each person who voted for that law has the blood of the desperate woman on his/her hands.

I've said this before and I am going to keep saying it:

If a woman wants an abortion badly enough, she's going to find a way to get one. This has been true historically, and it is still true today.

That is why abortion needs to remain safe, legal and private.

I had this "argument" with several young women at the time the law was passed. I live in Texas and (as indicated in the post), several young women that I regularly speak with were not concerned about the passed of this law at all. They saw it as something reasonable. The GOP'ers looking out for the safety and welfare of the women who wanted to have an abortion.

I did my best to explain the REAL motivation to them.

Not really a very good analogy. COLGATE4 Apr 2014 #4

And that would be my point. Savannahmann Apr 2014 #5

I don't see how you think that could be done. Hospitals are private COLGATE4 Apr 2014 #10

Sure it is. Start requiring it for all specialties. jeff47 Apr 2014 #6

That would be the application of the intelligent approach. Savannahmann Apr 2014 #8

Did you write to any TX legislators with this idea? nt redqueen Apr 2014 #7
