Texas Doesn't Want You To Know How Many Died!

Is Texas covering up deaths caused by making Abortion illegal?

1. This is the important news in more than one state now.

Those that prohibited abortions even to save the life of the mother.

2. Yes, even in cases where the fetus couldn't possibly be viable, such as

ectopic pregnancies. That’s why I regard the whole anti-abortion agenda as a false moral panic, a kind of resurgence of the old puritanical misogyny and fear of female sexuality. If they can’t burn witches they figure they can at least sacrifice a few women through forced childbirth to propitiate their god.

5. This happened to now-Senator Gary Peters and his wife in the '80s

They were expecting a much wanted child when something went wrong and the fetus was no longer viable. As it deteriorated, his wife got sicker and sicker, but no doctor or hospital would do the necessary procedure since it was considered an abortion. At the last minute, someone they knew contacted someone they knew and the procedure was performed, saving her life, but it was close. The senator finally spoke out about this painful episode explaining why he is pro choice. How many more women have found themselves in this deadly position now that we have gone back in time???

4. Yes, for them the losses vindicate their self-importance.

6. And it's happened so often now that the country has become numb to it.
