Asked about states reporting zero or very few abortions in 2023, Prine said she was certain those statistics were wrong. Texas, for example, reported 50,783 abortions in the state in 2021. Now the state reports on average five a month. WeCount reported an average of 2,800 telehealth abortions a month in Texas from April to June 2024.
That’s a massive drop I’m reporting. I dk what it serves though. I wonder if they see a huge uptick in states that still support. In the worst case there are going to 50000 really unadjusted and angry kids who grew up unwanted or see their loving parents suffering by trying to to their best in a situation that should have never happened and become more radicals.
Your worst case scenario assumes that 100% of abortions in Texas are due to unwanted pregnancies and that the yearly average holds steady.
As we’re unfortunately and acutely aware of here in Texas, as the family-planning resources decrease, the number of unwanted or unexpected pregnancies increase. Also, a terrifying number of abortions are due to medical issues that could harm the babies or the mother.
So, worst case is that a minimum of 50,000 mothers die and/or their babies experience agony for their desperately short lives. The fact that your proposed worse case is comparatively rosy should help you understand how fucking terrified and horrified we are in this nightmare that is Texas.
Beautifully written.
I only focus on that because I don’t think think they care about women or children suffering but maybe they care about crime rates in their neighborhoods.
I also normally tell racists not giving bc to minorities means more minorities. Can’t win with empathy so try every angle no matter how scummy to stop suffering.
Racists typically don’t want less minorities, it’s not even like minorities are considered that based on their population but the power they wield. Racists want people to look down upon or subjucate. Without them they have to look inward to their own inadequacies.
What a crazy logic. Maybe they know deep down without minorities it’s them next for not being in the club.

Number of Abandoned Babies in Texas Doubled Over the Last 10 Years
Experts point to a confluence of factors—including the state’s total abortion ban, lacking access to prenatal care and insurance coverage, and concerns about deportation.
…
The outlet stressed that despite the state’s record $32.7 billion budget surplus, lawmakers have declined to invest state funding in awareness campaigns about the state’s safe haven law. This law, like others in states across the country, allows parents to relinquish unharmed newborns up to 60 days old to designated locations, typically attached to fire stations, across the country. Installing these climate-controlled boxes, which also include silent alarms to alert first responders, costs about $20,000 per box.
But state funding has largely been siphoned off to anti-abortion centers, or “crisis pregnancy centers,” across the state. Most of these centers offer no medical services—just disinformation to convince likely abortion seekers to not have the procedure. Texas allocated $165 million to CPCs this fiscal year. In July, ProPublica reported that state funding for CPCs had ballooned from $5 million in 2005 to $140 million this year and that egregious misuse of funds and even alleged fraud were rampant among these organizations.
F#@! That is depressing. Of course that’s all the found. Which is really bad in that perspective.
telehealth abortions
Which is leading to a bounty on doctors.
Ahmadinejad “No Gays in Iran” energy on this claim.
Even if that’s true, check maternal and infant mortality rates. No way that’s gone anywhere but up.
