Texas is really screwed up, its the FREEDOM state.
Freedom for the unborn. Just because you got knocked up and a new, independent life is dependent on your body for sustenance for a few months till born doesn't give you the right to KILL IT.
The fetus in a mother's womb grows from a mother's body but IS NOT part of a mother's body for her to do with as she pleases.
I can't get past the absurd statement in your second sentence.
If that is an independent life then remove it from the woman and let it honestly be independent. Detach it from the woman's uterus, let it breathe, eat, speak, hear, walk and do all the other things independent humans do everyday.
When a clump of cells are attached to another person's body and can't survive without being attached to it, it's not independent.
So nice of you to call a new life "knocked up" so much for respecting women, pregnancy and life.
You don't give a flying fig about women or the so called "unborn" if you're not born, you're not alive yet. If you don't have a birth certificate our government doesn't legally recognize you're alive.
Calling a zygote an independent human being and giving rights to a zygote is ridiculous.

Legislation like the ones going through red stage congress will result in women dying.
But you don't care about that. Guess what? If the woman dies. So does your precious zygote.
Tell me what life is in an ectopic pregnancy. There are only 2 outcomes to an ectopic pregnancy.
1. Nothing is done and the woman dies.
2. An abortion is performed and the woman lives.
I wouldn't be surprised if you would force the woman to die.
