Texas too timid against abortion?
Social conservatives have dinged ruling Texas Republicans for being too timid about abortion- especially after another state moved this week to provoke a showdown over the 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing the procedure.
Texas Republicans have passed several laws restricting abortion access since 2011. In 2011, Legislators reached a law requiring a woman to have a sonogram and hear a description of it at least 24 hours before having an abortion. they also barred state family planning funds from flowing to any provider affiliated with organizations that performed or promoted abortions-- a move that led to 1 in 4 clinics no longer offering family planning services or shutting down. Lawmakers later bolstered family planning aid, partially restoring available services.
In 2013, Lawmakers banned nearly all abortions after 20 weeks. The law also required physicians who provide abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital and for abortion clinics to qualify as ambulatory surgical centers -- stipulations later overturned by the U.S. Supreme Court as unrelated to healthy and safety.
In 2015, The Legislature placed new restrictions on the legal bypass process that abused and neglected minors use to get abortions without parental consent. In 2017, Legislators banned a type of procedure that medical professionals said included "dilation and evacuation" abortions, which are widely considered safe. That part of the law was blocked by a federal court judge and is awaiting a decision by the 5th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Banning all abortions and jailing doctors who perform them will not stop abortions from happening. Abortion is a choice. every woman should have the authority to choose when she is ready for motherhood. Motherhood is a very big responsibility, and it should be a well chosen choice. Pregnancy is not always a planned choice. sometimes it can happen unwontedly and at the wrong time in life for which a woman may not be ready. So every woman should be given the right to choose. Abortion is killing but if the parent isn't ready to take responsibility of the child after the birth. We shouldn't bring a child to the world to abandon him/her later.

In Rajvi's Blog 7 post Texas Too Timid for Abortion? , he talks about the laws in place the past several years that banned abortion in Texas. He acknowledges that banning them isn't going to simply stop them from happening. Similar to those abstinence talks they would have in school, telling people not to have sex doesn't mean they're going to stop having sex. Bottom line is people are going to do what they want to do. I like that Rajiv states that sometimes it isn't a good time in the woman's life and that ultimately would not be ideal for any child.
