So the overturning of the Texas abortion clinic law has been in the news lately. And there have been a few topics about it here.
Full disclosure: I am pro-life.
I also believe that one of the key solutions to reducing abortions is to get people to use birth control. Just about half of all abortions are the result of no birth control of any kind being used during the sex act which led to the pregnancy.
I also believe the extremists in the pro-life movement are really behaving in a counterproductive manner. Requiring women to have their vaginas wanded pisses off even a lot of pro-life women I know. And we are talking hardcore pro-lifers.
That was a really, really, really stupid move.
The same is true for those provisions in the abortion clinic law in Texas which caused the law to be overturned. It wasn't the 20-week limit for abortions that caught in the court's craw, it was the over-reaching bullshit that was piled onto the law.
Winning battles, losing the war. That's the problem with the pro-life movement these days.
So anyway, I noticed that one of the chief complaints from the pro-choice side was that these restrictive provisions in the abortion clinic law would cause some clinics to close, thus making women have to travel long distances to those clinics which were still open.
Example from HuffPo:
So here's the question. A seven hour round trip and a month's wages to get an abortion kind of makes that trip down to the corner Rite Aid to stock up on some inexpensive condoms look like the really smart thing to do now, doesn't it?
Don't be a tard trekking across the Texas desert to kill your kid. Be the smart chick (or dude) with the medicine cabinet stocked with Trojans.
Thank you, and have a common sense safe sex day.
