It wasnt an uber to an abortion clinic. It was an uber to a clinic that deals with womens health issues such as breast exams, birth control, pap smears and more, it also just happens to handle abortions. But it is NOT an abortion clinic.
So you can't reas
They don't care
Just give Uber the address of the house or business across the street from abortion clinic..
Thank you! I was thinking the same thing! Planned Parenthood is a women’s health clinic providing many resources, counseling and well care such as mammograms.
@H McKaskie by that logic the hospital where my sister and sister in law gave birth are abortion clinics, because there is a physician there that performs abortions.
My mom was a nurse when it was illegal, they all knew when a women came in with a back street abortions. Some women were permanently disabled from them, and some didn’t make it at all. Making abortions illegal after 6 weeks is inhuman, sadistic, and cruel. It is not about the life of a fetus, it is about controlling women pure and simple.

Beardyrabbit...scot wow is this men trying to speak for women’s bodies again? 👀 unfortunately we can’t flip a switch and you guys be the ones who get pregnant instead.
@@rachelr1887 This! We all know that if men had to carry babies to term and pop them out, they'd have every legal/medical right imaginable and have access to anything and everything under the sun -- paternal leave, financial benefits, medicine/medical care, etc. No one seems to care about anything until it affects them directly. If men had to deal with not just the social issues but the physical and psychological issues that accompany giving birth, *everything* would change overnight.
It's about creating and enforcing IDIOTIC laws
@BeardyRabbit nope. If I'm not ready to have a baby, then it can't stay in my body. Period.
When my great grandmother was a teenager her close friend died after giving herself an at home abortion. She still thinks about it to this day 70 years later.
😢 RIP to her
yes! this is what happens when abortion is banned. It was always illegal in South Africa until democracy and a major reason they legalised it was because young women were forced to do this to themselves at home or see a "backstreet abortionist" and they so often died awful deaths
@@Expose_bankers_and_auctioneers my country does this. We have free deliveries and lots of organizations giving free checkups and childcare to pregnant women. And We are a very much anti abortion country
@@Expose_bankers_and_auctioneers actual no. Legalizing abortion is a lack of reason.
@@OmniMale Why? We legalize alcohol and cigarettes despite them only bringing problems to society. If you ban abortion, people will still get it through illegal means. You don't have to think to hard, there is already the "Prohibition in the United States" which provides the perfect exemple.
As a Texas mom, this heartbreaking. The other fact RARELY mentioned is that most women who seek an abortion ARE MOMs. They are already caring for kids, making the world a better place. The addition of another kid means they WILL STRUGGLE to provide for the NEW BABY PLUS THE OTHER KIDS!! VOTE THE GOP OUT!! 😡
I can't wait to vote our poor excuse of a governor.
Huh. Honestly you may have just changed my mind on this topic. Thank you for the new point of view.
Really they’re moms I had no idea 🤣😂
@@mattmay4112 Abortion is portrayed as a quick BC for party girls who are irresponsible. When in actuality, it is healthcare for mostly women who have a family. Keep up or say less, neanderthal boy!!
That makes sense. I've always supported the right for abortion. This point just solidifies my view.
What people don't understand is that an abortion isn't always just "I just don't think I'm ready yet" or "I don't wanna have kids". Sometimes doctors can see that a baby won't be able to survive and to spare the mother she can get an abortion, or the mother isn't able to physically have a baby safely and it would be medically best for her to have an abortion.
Exactly.
Nowadays abortion has almost nothing to do with the perilous health conditions you just mentioned ; it has become a trendy thing
The law does technically have an exemption for the mother's health but that's it, and you'd have to prove it
@@RA-xn4vb You are absolutely wrong. There are thousands of women who have gotten medically necessary abortions. Just go to the Twitter comments of any article about this
@@everentropy hahaha. Getting your info from Twitter comments. 🤣🤦♀️ You must be well informed.
If republicans hate poor people so much, why are they trying to make more of them.
Might as well ask ‘If they hate illegal immigrants so much, why don’t they punish the people who hire them?’
@@hailmammonmoments7568 Could you start your own comment thread for that. It's a different subject. Thanks.
Because they need someone to profit off of, duh!
@@nikkids4266 There's not much to profit off of, on the republican end. They're making it harder for them to vote. And they see them as a drain on their system. I'd think they'd want more abortions.
They need a workforce that will work for pennies
Between 2007 and 2011, Washington University Medical School in St. Louis conducted a study wherein women and girls were offered no-cost access to contraceptives. With cost being no barrier, the participants chose the most effective methods of birth control. The study found that the abortion rate was reduced 62% to 78%. So, if state legislators really want to reduce the number of abortions, they should be leading the charge, fist raised, for free, effective, and accessible birth control.
This is one, perhaps wishful, possibility that Trevor fails to present - that if women know it's impossible to get abortions in Texas, they will seek to avoid needing one by taking contraception more seriously.
As a pro life person I am indeed in favor of this
Hi Connie
Planned Parenthood is so much more than abortions. When I was younger and had no health insurance I was able to go there for wellness exams and birth control. So if I needed the same services today, I wouldn't even be able to get an Uber to the clinic to get the birth control, which could lead to an unwanted pregnancy. Where is the care and compassion for these women in need of help?
America doesn't care about the health of the Americans. No universal health care should say enough. Food quality is horrible. America ranks number 1 when it comes to people being addicted to antibiotics. Point is your government don't care about you or anyone else. Unless you are rich. America is a business. It's not a country
@@metalvideos1961 Yes, except there's no such thing as being addicted to antibiotics. You must mean opioids.
If PP is so much more than abortions, then why did they lose a large percentage of their business after the TX abortion ban.
@@josephhobbs278 If women can't even get an Uber to PP for birth control, or to get a pap smear that would reduce their business. Also ask some of your female friends and relatives about how often they have to go for well women exams and how much they spend on birth control and visits concerning their reproductive organs? Now ask them what they would do if they didn't have insurance, or the money to get the treatment and medicine they needed? Ask them where they go if they didn't have any money and they need to be treated for UTI, or a yeast infection? If they wanted an IUD, patch or diaphragm? There are free clinics in some areas, but it's not the kind of place I'd want to be by myself. I know I didn't feel safe going as a single woman. PP was the only safe, free place to go. If we're going to get rid of PP, we need to provide alternatives to support women in need of reproductive health services.
The really question.. Is Taxes willing to support children of poor families and single mothers? Failing that, is Texas willing to tolerate higher crimes rates in 20 years?
Of course not -- but they can just blame the poor for poor self-control and criminal behavior. Everything's bigger in Texas, including cruelty and regressive thought.
No conservatives only care about the fetus, children can die in fires. Poor, hungry, uneducated, and not cared for. Anyone involved in child services can tell you how little they care. Bring it up to them though and they will list off all the pointless ineffectual things their church does to "help".
20? Make it 14 years at the most!
Yes. Those higher crime rates will justify the "need" for more guns in the name of self defense against those neglected children (now turned adult) as well as the need for more prisons (privately and government owned) in a socio-judicial systems that is designed, like a well-oiled revolving door, to keep these same people coming and going, never to be given the means to effectively reintegrate into society.
Gun manufactures, pro-gun organizations, prisons, as well as law enforcement agencies will see massive increases in funds and public support, which will inevitably translate to increased campaign contributions to politicians willing to push for laws that benefit these entities the most.
Our pay-to-win political system will ensure that this cycle of abuse continues so long as there is money to be made from it.
There just isn't as much money to be made from providing women a safe way to terminate a pregnancy.
Did you say create prison labor?
Thank you for standing up for women, Trevor! I love this! The only thing I'd add to your piece is that the Texas law leaves the man/father out of the scenario completely. Why isn't he included on the long list of people who can be sued?
Because legally the man has no say in weather his child is aborted or not. Maybe if the drives her or something he could be sued.

@@warshire true. I am a firm believer in both parents having say so & equal rights. I am so lucky my sons dad & I co parent great! We have 50/50 but constantly try to give & take for our son.
I'm 31 years old. While I am so lucky I have never had to make this choice( I'm infertile) I know so many women that have made the choice to terminate a pregnancy.
Too many people don't remember the women that were seriously injured or even killed, certainly permanently traumatized because they were beaten, pushed down the stairs, a coat hanger used the force the unwanted pregnancy to end. They took these extreme measures because they were given no choice.
The men that made this ban did not consult a single o.b. or g.y.n. when making these laws. They made them because they're all religious misogynists. I hope karma pays them a visit soon.
Roe v. Wade outcome was to protect women.
@@lilianaprina5991 and yet my state has pretty much ban abortions all over again.
But why are so many people having abortions according to your statement and how is it socially affecting society.
Men have 0 abortion rights. All responsibility is given to the woman. Not fair.
Maybe some need to find better partners.
@@sebastianwallin3726 men don't get "abortion" rights because cis men do not have the ability to carry a child. The process doesn't affect them. Men can have children up into their 90's and they still don't have to carry it. It does not affect a man at all. So how about you stay out of women's health issues and mind your business.
@@nghsrae14
The abortion right is purely juridicial for men.
The ability to forfeit all rights and responsibility for the outcome of a pregnancy if its an unwanted baby.
The whole reason behind the Row versus Wade lawsuit to begin with was the simple understanding that outlawing abortions did not stop abortions. It only meant women seeking to end an unwanted pregnancy had no safe choice.
This is the equivalent of saying that parents should allow their kids to drink at home, Bc they will do it anyways.
Norma could have got on a bus to Tulsa and got one.

@@stephanieanderson1924 many times it's actually better to allow kids to drink in your home under your supervision.

@@stephanieanderson1924 ... I have no idea what you think you mean by your analogy. ... Do you understand how pregnancies occur?

Most of all, do you understand that other than self-important religious objections or self-righteous moral high-mindedness there's not a single reason on earth for someone to put their nose into someone else's decisions about her pregnancy?
I'll bet every politician involved has made a mistress have one.

They could also go to Canada for an abortion, but they have to have the money for the trip and to pay for the procedure (which is otherwise covered Canada's single payer insurance for the whole of the country,, So as so many people have noted, the Texas law only applies to poor folks.....

Juarez? Dude take a bus to Baja instead to Los Algodones (AKA Molar City) is much safer and believe it or not, you can take a bus, stay in a hotel, take the treatment, breakfast, dinner and souvenirs and you will have spent LESS money doing all of that than the operation costs in the US, not even kidding, people in Facebook break down how much they spent doing all of that when they went to Mexico and it was still cheaper than the cost of the procedure on their healthcare plan in the States.
But abortion is Not medical procedure. It is the killing of a Human being. If you say otherwise, you are defying science.
Can we stop talking about how this makes abortions more dangerous as if that just hasn’t occurred to anti-choice fanatics? They know. They’re fine with it. They know they can’t stop abortion, so they settle for outlawing it and hoping some of the women die. They don’t see that as a necessary evil, they see it as a perk.
Or they dont want to see mass infanticide.
They see it as a perk because most women who have abortions are liberals. They'll do anything in their power to get rid of those "DEMOcRATS".
@@RedLineShortFilms those liberals who cant get abortions will procreate and have more children, resulting in more Democrats.
So true and so disgusting. How can they say they are pro life when they clearly don't care about the living
You're probably right, but those people also won't watch this video. This argument is intended for everyone who is uninformed or on the fence, and I think it would be persuasive for those people.
I remember like 20 years ago I had a friend who was afraid she could be pregnant. A classmate of ours told her she knew some guys she could pay who would punch her in the stomach to lose it. I worry what women will think they have to do if their choices are taken away.
@Jason Mccandless maybe you do.
"6 weeks" isn't six weeks from conception, its a measure from person's cycle. The window between not pregnant enough to be confirmable by a physician and 'too pregnant' to get a safe abortion under the Texas law is only a few days.
since you can't concieve until about 2 weeks into that... and there's no heartbeat at 4 or even 6 weeks..
the entire bill is an anti-science, anti-human, anti-american trainwreck.
Yes, Mama Dr Jones did a talk on that on her RUclips channel recently. She pointed out the actual timeline of what's considered pregnant starts from your last period, & ovulation isn't precisely X number of days later because it's a range. Also the bill being written so that it doesn't say 6 weeks but says from when "a heartbeat is detected" is very bad & done deliberately to shorten the woman's window of getting help. Way before there is an actual fully developed heart to beat & push blood through blood vessels, the initial heart tissue starts developing & the electric signals of this muscle tissue starting to pulse is what's regarded as "a heartbeat" in most 1st scans. She said this can start earlier than "6 weeks" of pregnancy because there's also some variation in how fast development happens.
Exactly like when I found out I was pregnant, I couldn't get an appointment to confirm it until I was 7 weeks along and the only reason I knew I was pregnant so early on is because we were actively trying to conceive. Many women don't have regular periods, and most people don't really get symptoms till after 6 weeks anyway, so they wouldn't know they are pregnant, which isn't fair to them.
@@prncessbaby16 It's not about being fair to women unfortunately. Smh.
I have a 45-50 day cycle on average. It’s just the way my body works. This abortion law should be illegal
As a female business owner, I switched a major vendor from a Texas company to a company in a blue state because of this Texas law. I also will be researching my Vendors, suppliers, and craftspeople to see if there is any money going to Texas.
Well done hopefully other business will follow 👍
I am glad to hear that, starving the state of business might be the only way law makers listen, because it won't be just women complaining
Thank you.
👏
As a Texan I support other states boycotting us for this reason, divest and let our state gov know why. Our gov needs a slap in the face
Just to be clear, when they say "after 6 weeks", what they mean is "6 weeks since the woman's last period". In practice, this means something like 2 weeks after a pregnancy test would even be capable of detecting a pregnancy
Basically gotta just do a pregnancy test weekly just in case
@@MrXiaoqiao Gotta wonder just how many republican congressional members just bought stock in companies that manufacture pregnancy tests.... since their stock is about to start flying off shelves. Their profits are about to go through the roof, b/c that's ultimately all conservatives care about - the money lining their own pockets.
Ever heard about irregular cycles or late implantations?
I am so tired of hearing "pro-life" - "pro-forced gestation" is actually what they support, given their lack of care for the lives of the women involved.
It's pro-forced birth. Plain and simple
It's eugenics.
The state will force some people to procreate without consent, while at the same time women (disproportionately of color) are sterilized without consent at ICE detention centers or prisons.
A literal textbook example of eugenics includes forced pregnancy, forced abortion, forced sterilization, forced or fraudulent donors in fertility treatments...
They are pro-eugenics. Governments have absolutely zero business making any reproductive choices for anyone, even if tax dollars pay for any or all reproductive care options (as they should).
And lack of care for the child born into poverty. “Pro-forced gestation”, I’m gonna use that. It’s incredibly accurate.
Before 6 weeks is also often when a pregnancy test will get a false-negative
All part of the plan.
Truth it took over 8 weeks with my daughter. I knew for weeks.
They know. They did for a reason.
@@th-ck9vl honestly, at this point I think it’s both a bit of malicious intent and stupidity-on both sides of the isle too.
@@rexthelegend3180 The stupidity is exclusively on the right. What are you smoking?
Why did they ban the morning-after pill when according to the new laws you can still have an abortion before the 6-week mark? That just don't make no sense!
Seems like they want to make it harder and more painful just out of spite, really.... And to make more unwanted kids to be born, since the clinics where you can get abortions are few and far inbetween in Texas (according to Mama Doctor Jones) and people might not be able to get an appointment and there in time -especially on such short notice. The lawmakers just hack away and make it harder, step by step.
The morning after pill stops conception, it isnt an abortion pill
@@annakepes8050 you're right.
The pill they banned is used for abortion. But thats not the only use. 3 years ago I miscarried at 9 weeks and had extreme anxiety after I was told it could take 2 weeks for my baby to pass through naturally. I was given the pill as a way to jump-start the contractions. The thought of carrying my child for weeks after it died was too much. The pill helped me. I feel bad for the women of Texas.
@@deannavazquez1213 don't feel bad.. women have been finding a way to get abortions since before we were born probably and they will continue to find a way! No government bill or law is going to be able to stop a woman from doing what is right for her own body and life!
Thank you for doing this piece. 💜 As a woman who didn't want to make this decision and wanted a full term healthy pregnancy, this was my only option. Doctors told me he wouldn't have a face, didn't have much of a brain and his hands and feet were clenched and clubbed. When children's experts broke it down they said his survival rate was less then 1%.
That's 1% making it through the pregnancy or even after.
At that point I was 18 weeks. There was no room for development to change any of that
I pray for all the women that are devastated by this law
6 weeks is not in anyway shape or form a significant mark to make a decision on a pregnancy, it's just a starting point. For that starting point to not even be allowed to exist is mind blowing.
I'm so sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for sharing your story. Hope you are doing okay

@@ianalan4367 Abortion is a very emotion-fueled subject. Many people with no medical knowledge or background have opinions that they can put into law. They claim rights for some but not all. To say abortion is about intentionally killing a child. That is not a medical statement but an emotional one.
When abortion wasn’t allowed in Ireland, women had to travel to the UK. As if it wasn’t stressful enough having to go through an abortion for reasons such as an abnormal pregnancy where the baby won’t survive, but to have to make travel plans, extending the length of pregnancy, spend extra money which they may not have to spare & most likely do it alone. It’s heart breaking. Fortunately the law was changed a few years back.
You can feel how you feel about abortion, but don’t take away a woman’s right to her own body.
The law was changed because a woman died in a hospital. If I remember correctly, the placenta had partially separated but the law at the time wouldn’t allow an abortion until the heartbeat stopped. As the placenta decomposed it became toxic and killed the mother.
@@sallyintucson that’s right! Savita was her name. I can’t believe I forgot that it was her case that helped move this forward. It was so sad 😞
@@MamaBanana Now the same thing can and probably will happen in Texas. 🥺 🤬
Dear Texas: how can you make a law that is measured by the existence of a "heartbeat" in a bunch of cells which do not have an actual heart?
They won't care that they're dangerous. They think in 'us vs. them' terms and they have already desensitized themselves to the pain of those they disagree with.
Yup. They think anyone that gets an abortion, even to save her own life or because the fetus has a condition that’s incompatible with life, deserves to suffer.
And if she dies in the process, it’s “God’s will” and easy to dismiss.

St.Clair Bij Who’s lost life? The women and girls that will die from botched back alley abortions? Or self-inflicted ones?
Or the women that will die because the pregnancy itself killed them and termination or early induction is the only way to save them?

An ob gyn made a video about this and said that the law was made without any medical proffessionals or medical knowledge. I believe she was right about that. One of the things she explained, was that the 'heart beat' you can see at the earliest stages aren't even heart beats because its not even a heart yet -but it's still detectable by ultrasound pretty early.
@@slowfire2 such a great point! Pro-choice people have been careful not to use that false term heartbeat
The problem with this talk about "If you don't know, now you know" is that everyone DOES know. The research is well documented. They don't care. The whole point is to punish someone who would dare make the choice to terminate a pregnancy, not to stop abortions.
The concept that we keep getting sidetracked on is the idea that the anti-abortion movement is geared towards reducing abortion. It's not. The aim is to control women.
It's never been about being pro-life. Just about control.

It's about control, not about saving babies or helping mothers. My opinion on abortion hasn't changed, but I don't label myself as pro life anymore - because what the pro life movement actually wants isn't what they claim.
Truly pro life laws look like: universal health coverage, accessible child care, expanded social safety nets...and yes, accessible and affordable birth control.
Actually reducing abortions is nowhere near what they're about.

Abortion and crime: Freakanomics Movie
The story the data tells...
“The legalization of abortion in the 1970s was one of the primary reasons why crime fell in the 1990s, because whole generation of potentially unwanted children were never born because of the legalization of abortion. And if you fast forward 20 years to the point in time when they were going to be at their peak crime ages, they simply weren’t there to do the crime.”
This is one of my favorite theories. It’s heartbreaking and fascinating and so so important to talk about.
That study from Freakonomics has been debunked. Crime is on the rise now in states where abortion is legal.
@@fremontpathfinder8463 what part of "one of the primary reasons" do you not understand? there is no cut and dried single reason for any complex social issue.

@@nonyabizness.original Look it up. That study from Freakonomics was debunked years ago.
The funny thing is that even if this law stays on the book for only a couple of years, Texas is going to be paying for it monetarily in 2 decades. Being born to parents who don't want you is a statistic predictor for criminality later in life. (Watch Dr. Sapolsky's Stanford lectures on neurobiology)
Or you could have state funded abortions to someone who is not legally a doctor, like Kermit Gosnell. Look him up.

This is a constitutional right because it’s a PRIVATE medical procedure. I’m thoroughly confused as to why this angle hasn’t already been used as reason for court challenge. HIPAA laws should apply; therefore anyone who assists someone to get any kind of medical care should not be held responsible because the procedure should be a part of our constitutional right to privacy. It’s none of our business!
I think that the law was made deliberately difficult to challenge to prevent people making that argument and them like it, unfortunately.
Unfortunately the Supreme Court has a massive Republican majority because the Democrats didn't want to vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016....You know what Hillary wouldn't have done...appoint 3 lifetime Republican Judges to the Supreme Court who decide what is Constitutional and what is not..
Point out the clause in the constitution, I'll waiit
@DavidJones: Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), the Supreme Court recognized that the right to abortion is a fundamental liberty protected by the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution. The 14th amendment protects all of our rights to privacy.

#Castration
Starting with those same politicians!
So, the idea is to overtly mutilate males so females can be unabashedly promiscuous? This is civil war, as far as I'm concerned. If your plan is to mutilate us so you can sleep around, my plan is to fight back until it kills me.

#Castration
If you're going to tell me what I can and can't do with my body and what is inside it, then I get to do the same to you.
So here goes:
No more spilling of your seed anywhere
No more erections
You may not get a vasectomy
You may not impregnate any living being
So... anything else you want to tell me I can and can't do with my body?

Coming in 9 months: thousands of babies left outside churches in baskets
Better than thousands of babies aborted at 9 months.
Over the human history on this planet, women have rid themselves of unwanted pregnancies. Our 1973 law guarantees a right to a SAFE procedure. Abortions will continue to happen, let’s not have scared teenage girls injuring themselves with coat hangers. Keep and honor the law.
Right before the American Civil War, one in five pregnancies were aborted. Yet reactionary right-wingers promote nostalgic fantasies about the past. Through the 1960s, most Americans, including most Christians, supported women's rights to abortions. The supposed "Moral Majority" was invented.
I'm the first to "like" !!
In the 40''s my mother lived in a high rise in NYC. A Dr. on the floor above her performed abortions, then the women would go down to my mom for aftercare. She said it was horrific. Coat hangers, quinine baths,etc. She was so happy when RvW passed. There will ALWAYS be abortions. Women deserve to be safe❤
And children deserve to be born
Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Pablo Escobar!
Those who love history are honored to keep it going.
A very true statement. I feel like we are stuck in a time loop because no one is learning. We just keep repeating.
You just Summed up the past 21 years of America with that historical line.
Then i guess we better buckle up.
Thank you Trevor for speaking the truth about these “pro-life” laws.
“She just isn’t ready to be a mommy” in that tone was really hard to listen to. It’s missing the point that this argument is about body autonomy. Not everyone Wants to be a mom because motherhood often comes with the dehumanization of the mother the second the child is born. Motherhood isn’t really all our society has cracked it up to be, nevertheless women get abortions for a plethora of reasons outside of just it being an “unwanted pregnancy.” This was a bad take on the writer’s room part and it’s really sad seeing this sentiment was heartily acted out by the you Trevor.
That was the worst thing I've ever heard Trevor say.
What do you mean by “dehumanization of the mother”?
Texas and now Florida wants pass a similar law, aren't willing to provide anything for those unwanted babies.
It’s “pro birth” not “pro life” in reality
Open up those orphanages so they can be new GOP members
Next they'll outlaw giving up unwanted babies to orphanages, so that they can lock these women and their families in poverty and then be unable to register to vote with their voter ID laws.
Self righteous religious elitists see these effects as fitting punishments unto sinners. Divine justice facilitated.
@@davebauman4991 It's when the self-righteous elitists are caught sinning that they ask and/or beg for forgiveness.
This is nuts! And an infringement on all women's rights to their bodies! Did you know doctors add how many weeks along you are from your LAST period? So, say you KNOW you got knocked up right before your next period! But they consider you anywhere from 3 to 5 weeks pregnant by then according to your cycle! I've had my period be 12 days late just because of anything from stress to vigorous exercise!
Soooo much easier to get a reversible vasectomy than to impose laws against women’s bodies and their right to choose - let’s do that instead
Abortions have been around for hundreds of thousands of years - as long as humans have. It's going to continue whether these old man lawmakers want it to or not. ✊🏽
And it has been evil as long as it has existed. (Barring situations in which the life of the mother was spared because of the procedure)
@@st.clairbij9208 look at you, calling it what it is... A PROCEDURE, therefore, non of your business. You don't get to have an opinion about what another person does with their body, if you consider it evil or not.
Why don’t we sue Abbott using this new law because he doesn’t provide contraception devices?
😈😁
contraceptives are next on their hand maiden's list. did you know that a woman's right to use contraceptives was only established in 1965? and that ussc case gave the right to married women only, based on the right to privacy in marriage... roe v. wade established abortion as a right based on privacy rights too, and the supremes are poised to take it all away, get women back to second class citizens without equal rights.
killing voting rights, and civil rights, and women's rights. kinda obvious what their goal is. reestablish and lock down white male dominance before the country turns majority brown.
@@k.j.paasche6523 are you serious????
@@k.j.paasche6523 NO. They've made abortion medication illegal after 6 weeks, while the morning after pill, a completely different drug, is still available.

The thing about Americans going to Mexico for medical care isn’t new. Lots of Americans get dentistry done in Mexico.

Thanks for tackling this difficult and controversial topic- you did a great job pointing out the dangers and hypocrisy of these new laws
Having read your book, Trevor, and getting a glimpse of your understanding of women’s rights through the eyes of your mom, Patricia, I think this is a very poignant post. Thanks for always bringing wisdom, a fresh perspective, and a call to action to every video you post. Keep telling the truth to open our eyes. 💙

This is why church and state should be separate at all times
They should not only be separate, but blocked from talking to eachother
The church has and continues to lead many astray and if the church actually repented and begin to have a relationship with Christ then the state can change and they can work together and not separately therefore enhancing lives of society and changing social mindsets.
The women of Texas must learn that elections have consequences.
*Don't vote against your interest...becuase of party loyalty.*
There’s already been a fetus found behind a abandoned building in my town. Just the beginning. There was never a follow up to the story which makes me think it was someone under 18. I can’t imagine what they went through. Trauma for life.
I agree that making it easier to care for children rather than making it harder to have abortions would be a more influential factor on pregnant women’s decisions to keep the baby
People were caring for children during the ice age. It's not that difficult.

Well I partially agree with you, please recall that there are many American women who for one reason or another prefer not to go through with the pregnancy. Your assumption is that it’s only financial.
I feel for Texas, but… imagine how it feels when your whole COUNTRY doesn’t allow abortion. Even before 6 weeks..
Like the Philippines. No abortions and no divorce.
You can abort a baby in my Country ( the Netherlands) if they are 24 week's old. But doctors do it normally If the baby is 22 weeks old. We have the most open abortus law in the world.

"Infanticide"?
I think not.
The state is HUGE. So many women can't get to neighboring states. I say all available women descend on the state and get a shuttle service up an running. IDGAF about the fines. The government is free to come after all my debt. Anyone wanna go?
Being pro-life is about improving quality of life for actual people, not about forcing women/families to have a child whom they can't provide for in a proper manner! They should understand living and existence are not the same thing! Improving the quality of life is pro-life, not quantity of life!
The dont get pregnant
I agree with you that increasing quality of life is important, but so is not killing innocent life.
@Jason Mccandless as I said living and existing are not the same , this law can guarantee that a foetus is kept alive but what about ensuring the babies get the care ,love, nourishment and education they deserve ? It would be cruel to ensure that baby survives pregnancy only to be a person who was not wished for by parents, to be a baby who will not get the quality of life they deserve is much more cruel thing to do and these laws can't do any thing about it . The moment government starts taking decisions for you regarding your family and body is crossing a line ,atleast in my personal opinion.

@@lizardguyNA Censorship of media?
I was three years old when Roe v. Wade was decided. I truly thought that abortion law in America was settled. Obviously I'm aware that there are a lot of people who don't agree with abortion and even some who want to make it illegal, but I never thought that they would succeed. This is downright scary, especially when abortion is legal in most of the Western world. Even very Catholic countries like Ireland and Mexico have recently legalized abortion. (I never thought it would be legalized in Ireland.)
My dad was a Republican and he was against abortion. He knew that I was pro-choice. He always told me not to be afraid to vote for anti-abortion Republicans because "that right will never be overturned." Literally the day before the news of the Texas law broke, I was thinking about the abortion issue and the Supreme Court. And I was thinking that the Supreme Court would not actually overturn Roe v. Wade. Well, since the Court did nothing to stop the Texas law (which is in violation of Roe V. Wade) I now think that they probably will overturn it. I never thought that I would see this day. It really is shocking.
As is often said, "I can't believe we're still protesting this stuff!"
This is just crazy - very Soviet Union public ratting out. So sad for the women.
It almost seems like this „pro life“ laws aren’t about saving lifes but controlling women.
And why assume forced-birthers don’t know about the risks of illegal abortions?
Aren’t there some people that would like to have death-penalty for those who practiced illegal abortions?
The irony is most of these lawmakers didn't care until the moral majority made it their issue post segregation. Their issue used to be to maintain segregation in their private Christian schools. How despicable. From one evil to another. They used to be small govt conservatives too that didn't want the state involved on your body.
Legalize all drugs?
Yeah, the Southern Baptists actually used to be pro-choice before Falwell came along
If by moral majority you indicate the conservative (I would say, ultra or fundamentalist conservative) wing of the party, they've been the moral minority of politics for well over 2 decades now, which is also the point of this law: stay in the winds of power for as long as you can. Keep people poor and poorly educated and your party will surely grow. If you build it, they will come sort of thing.
@@jamesalafayette8255 this but unironically
@@ryanshannon7703 The Moral Majority is an organization founded by Jerry Falwell and a few buddies with the express purpose of pushing Christian Nationalism and changing the face of politics forever. He saw the US getting more and more progressive and it terrified him.
There used to be actual, progressive Republicans before they got pushed out.
Falwell is, unironically, directly responsible for more deaths than any other human being in history. Even excluding the wars, policies, War on Drugs, rise of Trump, etc, the fact that the GOP has kept the US in denial about climate change means that he very well could be responsible for the deaths of billions of humans.
Seems like we can sue the state/city for providing the roads which are used to get to an abortion, bam!
I'm Texan, and this boils my blood. I can't stand Abbott.
So in 1965, when it was illegal, there were close to 400,000 more abortions than last year which had a slight increase over 2019. Keep in mind the US also had a third of the population that it has now.

@@st.clairbij9208 At 6 weeks there is no child's body. The simple biology is that a fetus needs at least 25 weeks to accumulate nutrients & life force in a temperature & chemical regulated environment to grow enough cells to form a functioning human body. Until then it's the woman's body.
@@factfullnessthelikes4566 you can restrict rights for public benefit.

@@teresabrandon6511 thank you!
Care work isn't really appreciated here either, but you do get paid parental leave. The state favors paying parents to raise their kids over providing more kindergartens, daycare etc. to help women stay in the work force. At least since Corona home office is on the rise.
Congratulations, enjoy that time with your your newborn son. You will benefit in the long wrong mentally and physically. Please don't feel like an idiot, take your blessings, enjoy them, celebrate them. It will be the best 12 months for you.
Velen Danke Verena. You are very lucky to live somewhere that affordable Healthcare, paid maternity leave and so much more are considered a right. In the USA even with insurance it can be hard to afford procedures and prescriptions. So many American citizens don't even have Healthcare.
It's a woman choice to decide not for men to decide for women, period
Tell that to the rabbis, priests, ministers, imams, poobahs, etc., etc. This is just a continuation of the religious war on women.
Lesson 1 in "How to keep poor people in poverty".
It’s not an “abortion clinic” it’s a health clinic. Men go there; non-pregnant women go there.
I have gone there for health care in the past and I am not a woman (also not afab).
It's just semantics. If it provides abortions, that will, in certain segments of the population, tend to overshadow anything else it may also do.

@@meganboyd6351 may be true, but as someone who has graduated from fundamentalist christian society to normal people I can tell you, without any shred of doubt, that those people dont like abortion because their preacher told them not to

All of this … and those unwanted children who will grow up between poverty and foster care with no one thinking of their future and education.

Question…Are the men who got these women pregnant also going to be fined $10,000?
Doesn't a hospital birth cost 30.000 in rhe USA?
@@jinde75 My birth (of course that was 17 years ago) was $5,000. That included a 3 night hospital stay for some complications. All but $250 was covered by our insurance.

“Unwanted” describes not a condition of the child but an attitude of adults.
The Senate needs to be abolished. It wasn't there when this country was founded and all it does is stand in the way of progress. It does not represent the majority of people.
Yes, but I don't know what would replace it
But neither did the president, or the house, the Supreme Court, or anything else for that matter. All it really was was a couple dozen dudes sitting in a room doing the same thing the senate does: bicker and fight. I dunno how we could replace everything that was not there in 76 without literally abolishing the entire government and starting from scratch (which would be kinda impossible given our current state of being.)
In my first pregnancy, I was like 9 or 10 weeks along before I realized I was pregnant. I think for most you'd have to have been pregnant before to know the early signs.
Yet we bomb others for treating women badly
That's the scary thing. By the time many women realize they're pregnant, it's too late according to these kinds of laws. A missed period is usually the common telltale sign, but women can miss periods for myriad reasons, or it may just come late/early because that's what that evil sentient blood spawn does. Some women keep having periods. Feel a little nauseous? Could be the chicken from night, and what about the women who don't get morning sickness? Strange feeling in your gut? Could be anything from stress to constipation. Why can't people just let a medical situation be taken care of by medical professionals in a medical setting?

fyi, 6 weeks is actually more like two weeks, since actual date of conception can only be estimated, and so is set as the first day of your last period.
how ironic that they want to save one life by taking two.
I like this comment. It recognizes the life inside the mother.
We need to have a sit down on this. A real sit-down and not juts go no abortions or yes abortions. Because leaning on just one or the other will have nefarious consequences.

They have illegal ones and could possibly die from it. That's what happened before.
Let's just say there might be a sudden increase in wire hanger sales coming soon. What disappointing times we live in, to say the least.
I’d take my chances with a hanger than some of these abortion doctors, like say … Dr Kermit Gosnell…
I had my tubes tied when I was 24 so I would never have to get an abortion. There were no legal abortions anywhere in the US, at that time, and little likelihood that would change, so I got my tubes tied. I've never regretted the decision.
And in a lot of places you can't get that done, either, because the only available hospitals are Catholic.
Can I try this situation out? Lets say a woman gets pregnant, and she’s on board with it, she feels secure and confident enough to raise a baby. Bang, a pandemic hits. She loses her job. No steady income means no way to pay for her living expenses. She is a single mom, or maybe she has a partner who also lost their job. They’re both not secured. Their stability has been compromised. They can barely provide for themselves, how can they hope to provide for their child? If you’re in the upper or even middle class, it is less difficult to raise a baby. I don’t mean that it’s not difficult, just that there are more advantages than compared to a low class family. Now, pandemic and medical conditions aside, other unfortunate circumstances arise. The loss of a loved one might lead to depression, making a person unfit to care for another. An abusive household, the environment is unsuitable for a child to be raised in. A natural disaster occurs, leaving disorder in a community, with no roof, food, etc. for the parents to raise a child in. There are so many factors and moving pieces in a persons life that are unique to their own. What might be the case for one is not the case for another. Why would we tell women, who we have no idea what their economic position is, to carry a baby term? What gives an outsider a right when they won’t be the ones living the mothers life, when they won’t be woken up to feed the child in the middle of the night, when they won’t pay for living expenses, when they won’t pay for the child’s education, when they won’t nurture or provide security for the child? It’s just illogical and reckless.
