A 15-year decline in Texas teen birth rates slid to a stop—and converted into a modest increase in 2022, the year after the state Legislature implemented what was the nation’s strongest ban on abortion, according to new report from the University of Houston’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality.

    I know my opintion may be very controversial. But I think abortions are decisions where life quality of the mother is weighted against the life of the possible child. Hence I am contra abortions exempt from this would be medically necessary abortions where not mothers life quality but life itself is concerned. ( as in my philosophy life should outweigh life quality ) But when you forbid abortions and you force births. Now you have alot of mothers and children with shitty life quality, that you have enforced. There should be soemthing to give life quality back. And that should be the norm. You force people to take a hit on life quality, give em something in return.

      The problem is who decides? I am anti abortion so I didn’t have any. That’s it. I’m not telling anyone else what to do. You are saying some bureaucrat somewhere gets to make that call, instead of the pregnant person. Why? Her beliefs don’t matter to you, they don’t count? She has to follow your beliefs?

        Now imagne we would use this logic on taxation.

        Just because you don’t have something, doesn’t mean the goverment shouldn’t be able to regulate it. And if a goverment in a democracy is the direct result of people’s votes. Why shoudnt people be able to vote on it.

          Taxation is not something growing in my body, it’s money I contribute to the society I live in, a social cost in money.

          This is much closer to the government deciding that you must donate a kidney to someone, because you had sex. Or mandating abortion, if the majority voted that everyone with two children must abort if they fall pregnant again? I don’t agree that my own body is something others can vote to control, that’s not at all like tax.
