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.

    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.
