A 15-year decline in Texas teen birth rates slid to a stop—and converted into a modest increase in 2022, the year after the state Legislature implemented what was the nation’s strongest ban on abortion, according to new report from the University of Houston’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality.

    In another decade or so there will be articles about how Texas lacks educated workers and companies can’t entice enough educated people to fill jobs. And every politician will scratch their hate filled little heads trying to figure out why. Many will come to some horribly moronic conclusion that there isn’t enough Jesus or to much social media but none will look back at this and get a clue.

      I know my opintion may be very controversial. But I think abortions are decisions where life quality of the mother is weighted against the life of the possible child. Hence I am contra abortions exempt from this would be medically necessary abortions where not mothers life quality but life itself is concerned. ( as in my philosophy life should outweigh life quality ) But when you forbid abortions and you force births. Now you have alot of mothers and children with shitty life quality, that you have enforced. There should be soemthing to give life quality back. And that should be the norm. You force people to take a hit on life quality, give em something in return.

        The problem is who decides? I am anti abortion so I didn’t have any. That’s it. I’m not telling anyone else what to do. You are saying some bureaucrat somewhere gets to make that call, instead of the pregnant person. Why? Her beliefs don’t matter to you, they don’t count? She has to follow your beliefs?

          Now imagne we would use this logic on taxation.

          Just because you don’t have something, doesn’t mean the goverment shouldn’t be able to regulate it. And if a goverment in a democracy is the direct result of people’s votes. Why shoudnt people be able to vote on it.
