This isn't a surprise (or it shouldn't be, anyway). Texas' law is going to be copied in red state after red state, and if you live in a blue state and think that you're "safe", may I remind you that the Orange Asscactus appointed hundreds of federal judges in your states as well. You can be entirely certain that they will be looking for a way to apply these laws in your states, regardless of whether your state's legislators support these draconian laws or not. Oh, and it won't end here, either. Next up for these clowns: Contraceptive devices.

P.S. Once the baby is born, however, it's on its own. That is the "pro-life" movement for you..............

The hypocrisy of DeSantis to say he is pro-life is beyond belief. The Federal government offered up to $820 million in food aid for children over the summer, no strings attached, & he said it was not needed. He finally applied this week after being pressured by Nikki Fried & many children’s advocacy groups. He could have expanded Medicaid, which includes children’s coverage, but he refused to do it. Against science’s advice to vaccinate, mask, & distance, DeSantis says it is an individual’s decision. This ignorance is why the COVID-19 is spreading, & death among children is rising.

DeSantis is not pro-life. He is anti-choice. If you want to limit abortions, then offer factual sex education in schools to females & males (because females don’t get pregnant by themselves), free birth control to all who request it, & free healthcare to females. This has been proven to decrease abortions.

The Texas law does not allow an abortion for rape or incest. It advocates private citizens to be bounty hunters. This is not about abortion. This is about control of women.
