Texas' restrictive abortion law takes effect after SCOTUS deadline to stop it passes.

Yes as you say what NYY posted had nothing to do with the Texas law meanwhile it was quoted in the first paragraph.

Way to move goalposts to something else when proven wrong though. Just say you didn't read the link instead of doubling down on stupid.

mentioning texas law is not the same. I shouldn't have to tell you that.

Let's check in on that texas abortion law:

Here's a quick summary, but worth a read as the article is quite expansive:

Key findings from the analysis

States with abortion restrictions or total bans have on average:

- lower minimum wages ($8.17 compared with $11.92 in the abortion-protected states)
- unionization levels half as high as those in the abortion-protected states
- only three in 10 unemployed people receiving unemployment insurance (compared with 42% in other states)
- lower rates of Medicaid expansion
- an incarceration rate 1.5 times that of the abortion-protected states

Imagine if we treated any other medical procedure to this standard. People would rightly call us ***holes.

Could you kindly explain what other medical procedure could take the lives of two people?

Separating conjoined twins.

And this has issues for the other how.

And this has issues for the other how.

You asked the question; that's the answer. Even if "other" was incorrectly used in your question.

You've obviously never seen two people separated from the same pole before:

Let's check in on that texas abortion law again:

The Safe Alliance in Austin, Texas, helps survivors of child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. Before Texas’ new abortion law took effect, the organization counseled a 12-year-old who had been repeatedly raped by her father.

Piper Stege Nelson, chief public strategies officer for the Safe Alliance, said the girl’s father didn’t let her leave the house.

“She got pregnant,” Nelson said. “She had no idea about anything about her body. She certainly didn’t know that she was pregnant.”

The girl eventually got help, but if this had happened after Sept. 1, when the state law took effect, her options would have been severely curtailed, Nelson said.

In Texas, abortions are now banned as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Known as SB 8, the new law represents the nation’s most restrictive ban on the procedure currently in effect. According to a recent NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist national poll, Texas’ law is unpopular across the political spectrum.

Notably, the law makes no exceptions for victims of rape or incest, which runs counter to public opinion. For decades, Americans consistently have favored exceptions to strict abortion bans — even in Texas. Social workers in the state said that is causing serious harm to sexual assault survivors.

While many people don’t realize they are pregnant until after six weeks, Nelson said, the time frame is a particular problem for those who are repeatedly raped or abused. To cope with the trauma of the abuse, she said, they often grow numb to what’s happening to their bodies.

“That dissociation can lead to a detachment from reality and the fact that she’s pregnant,” Nelson said. “And so, there again, she is not going to know that she is pregnant by six weeks and she’s not going to be able to resolve that pregnancy.”

Monica Faulkner, a social worker in Austin who has worked with sexual assault survivors, said not having the option of terminating a pregnancy will make recovering from an assault harder.

“The impact of finally coming forward and then being told there are no options for you is devastating,” said Faulkner, who directs the Texas Institute for Child & Family Wellbeing at the University of Texas-Austin.

Being forced to carry a pregnancy to term can be harmful financially, psychologically and, sometimes, physically. For survivors, Nelson said, that burden further strips away agency after their sense of safety and control has already been violated.

“And so, when you have something like SB 8,” Nelson said, “what it is doing is, it’s further taking control and power away from the survivor right at the moment when they need that power and control over their lives to begin healing.”

Faulkner said it’s important to give sexual assault survivors options on how to move forward in their lives. She said SB 8 “clearly is taking away any choice that they have.”
