just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me.

How can someone even think of something like this law? The results are just sad. This ban needs to be tossed.
- Considering who we just voted into office, it's more likely these bans will spread nationwide. To say nothing of banning birth control and plan-b.
  This is going to get so much worse.
  
  I'm not an american, so I can only really watch you from afar. But I seriously hope that it doesn't come to that for the US.
- They think fetuses are people. That's pretty much the extent of the thought they've invested in the matter. They don't give a shit about the mother's right to safety and body autonomy.
  
  I honestly have to ask, is that the serious reasoning behind something like this? Cause it's lacking very much.
  
  That's the only argument I've ever been able to get out of pro-life people. Literally all they have is "what about the rights of the fetus?" sometimes with an added touch of "women's uterus are meant to carry babies". Last week I had a long thread going with one of them. I'd direct you to it but a mod deleted all their comments.
