The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments challenging a Texas abortion law that went into effect two years ago. The law, in part, requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic. Since going into effect, the number of Texas abortion clinics has dwindled from 42 to only 19. Abortions declined 13 percent. And the law’s champions say that it has improved the standard of women’s healthcare in the Lone Star State.
But the law’s opponents – abortionists, primarily – say that the law is leading to disaster. They tout a new study which says that women are being forced to wait longer and travel further to get their abortions. The study also concludes that the law has forced more than 100,000 women to attempt self-abortion using herbs and illegal medications.
“Poverty, limited resources, and local facility closures limited women’s ability to obtain abortion care in a clinic setting and were key factors in deciding to attempt abortion self-induction,” said the Texas Policy Evaluation Project.
In a statement, Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards said, “This important new research paints an alarming picture of what the future may be like for women across the country if the Supreme Court does not block this cruel law.”
Right. So let’s examine this.
Because media brainwashing and cultural rot cause us to forget about what we’re really talking about, sometimes it’s helpful to frame it in another way.
