Texas abortion law is already saving lives. But there’s more to do to help children
BY CYNTHIA M. ALLEN

FORT WORTH
On Wednesday morning, Lila Rose, the founder of anti-abortion group Live Action euphorically tweeted, “It’s a beautiful day in Texas, which is on its way to being abortion-free.”
Her statement was hyperbolic, but only slightly.
On Sept. 1, Texas’ fetal heartbeat law took effect, exposing anyone who assists in the procurement of an abortion after the unborn child’s heartbeat is detected (with the exception of the pregnant woman, who is explicitly protected) to civil liability.
Effectively, this prohibits abortions at or beyond six weeks of pregnancy (when the majority of abortions occur), except in cases of medical emergency.
Texas is the first state to successfully uphold such a restriction, in no small part due to the law’s unusual construction.
It relies on private citizens instead of state actors to enforce abortion restrictions. The legal concept is not new — it’s used in instances of Medicaid fraud, for example — but unique in this area of the law.
Chelsey Youman, Texas state director of the anti-abortion group the Human Coalition, says this approach offers a meaningful way for society to engage in the cause of protecting innocent life.
But the mechanism has a practical application, too.
For years, abortion providers have been successful at blocking conventional attempts to regulate doctors and clinics — like establishing certain standards of care — by cherry-picking courts willing to find that almost any regulation on abortion constitutes an undue burden. This usually happens well before the law is even enforced.
But because the Texas law empowers private individuals to sue those who “aid and abet” in an abortion only after one has occurred, it cleverly denies the law’s opponents any chance of legal success on a pre-enforcement challenge. It exposes anyone providing an abortion after the law’s enactment to financial penalties and potentially even loss of licenses.”

Texas has proudly taken down the separation of government and their privacy. They want the state to determine if a woman will get an abortion. They want people to get money for ratting them out. They want penalties for those who might help a person in need. There has never been a worse attack on personal rights and an expansion of government intrusion into people's lives. The Repubs want total government power over your lives.
How many women will get falsely accused.? How many will lose a child as 20 percent of pregnancies do and get charged with a crime? Will a woman go to jail for doing nothing wrong.

Youre a baby-killer, pure and simple. There is no "privacy" that allows you to murder children.
You don't even know what abortion is all about. Its about human rights, and the right of every human to their lives.

Texas Says Forcing Women to Go Out of State for Abortions Is Stimulating Commerce

New Texas Abortion Law Pushes Women to Out-Of-State Clinics

An abortion involves the murder of an unborn child. The Texas law limits the murder of these unborn children after the detection of a heartbeat, except in emergencies.
Preventing the murders of unborn children is righteous.
Chickens, eggs and acorns have no relationship to murdering human unborn babies.

Stupid goyim , don't have one
While conservative Christians use the Bible to argue that a fetus represents a human life, which makes abortion murder, Jews don’t believe that fetuses have souls and, therefore, terminating a pregnancy is no crime
The Talmud, a two-part Jewish text comprised of centuries worth of thought, debate and discussion, is also helpful when discussing abortion. The Talmud explains that for the first 40 days of a woman’s pregnancy, the fetus is considered “mere fluid” and considered part of the mother until birth. The baby is considered a nefesh – Hebrew for “soul” or “spirit” – once its head has emerged, and not before.
According to Jewish law, a fetus is not considered a full human being and has no juridical personality of its own. While recognizing the potentiality of becoming human, Rashi, the great 12th century commentator on the Bible and Talmud, states clearly of the fetus “lav nefesh hu – it is not a person.” The Talmud contains the expression “ubar yerech imo – the fetus is as the thigh of its mother,” i.e., the fetus is deemed to be part and parcel of the pregnant women’s body.
Its amazing that christer goyim try to use Hebrew scripture to say the opposite of what it states
“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
— Golda Meir

The biblical foundation for this statement is Exodus 21:22
The Jewish legal interpretation of this passage states specifically that only monetary compensation is necessary for one who causes the death of a fetus. The unborn fetus is not worthy of the “life for life” punishment demanded if the woman herself is killed. This clearly implies that the fetus is not accorded the same legal status as the woman herself, namely that of independent human being.
“If we have to have a choice between being dead and pitied, and being alive with a bad image, we’d rather be alive and have the bad image.”
