- What harms are there?
- How does this law actually prevent that harm, considering that Texas won’t be able to police the mail in a meaningful way?
- How is the drug an abortificent when it tends to prevent implantation rather than interrupting it?
- Even if you agree with the aims of the legislators who are banning this, how can this possibly be good strategy and not just a waste of political capital?
All great questions I’m sure Texas law makers took into account
Exactly, because they are famous for carefully researching such things along with accounting for any possible perverse incentives that their legislation might create.
I thought “protecting” citizens from the consequences of their own actions was the very definition of anti-American.
Yeah, I tend to support social Darwinism. Like we should have never had the tobacco suits. They just destroyed the economy of conservative areas. Hell, those who are dumb enough to smoke should, IMHO, get what they get. Why reward people for choosing to use a dangerous product? As for mitigating factors, yeah, big tobacco was targeting kids in the past. Even some old tobacco ads relied on pseudo-science. Like saying smoking during pregnancy can produce a healthier baby. The “logic” was something like, “Stress is bad for pregnancy, smoking relieves stress, so smoke for a healthier baby.”
And I have no mercy on someone being a wh-re and an attempted murderess. Really, fetuses should be a protected class with hate crimes enhancements. Yeah, that is a liberal approach, but it would be fun to beat the Libs at their own game.
As for my take on abortion, I am mostly pro-life. It would be convenient to society if more minority, poor, unfit, or disruptive people were to abort. However, I do believe abortion should be an option in cases of rape/incest or specific medical problems such as carrying a grossly deformed fetus.
It’s amazing how strong of a stance Texas is taking on this.
Lots of backbone being shown.
I am surprised & I approve.
might need to close the border up from illegal immigrants on this community
the drugs are probably harmful to the mother
idk if the drugs need to be illegal so much as criminalizing any (ab)use of them which can act as a deterrent to such crime
the drugs are probably harmful to the mother
They are making the argument that you shouldn’t take these strong drugs without the supervision of a doctor.
