'We have to be heard': Texas women travel to seek abortions

Well, Texas made its decision, so if women as so bent on wanting to get an abortion, just go to a state that allows it, the people in Texas overwhelmingly have spoken.

The lengths “conservatives” and republicans will go to force their values on others is astounding.

I know you didn’t say that with a straight face.

They don’t hesitate to use the government to do so.

In the way this government is doing now by exceeding its constitutional role and power?

Compete and utter hypocrites who care for constitutional rights when applied to themselves.

That goes both ways.

A “near majority” supporting a law is not the people overwhelmingly supporting that law.

Yeah, the liberal tries to continuously tell us this, but we know the real truth in this state

The liberal?

Well, let me tell you this. One of my cousins works with someone who is married to the Almighty, and according to the Almighty, the near majority of Texans are on the wrong side of the moral argument here.

Same question as before: Do conservatives here support the law as it's written? Including rape and incest?

If not, why are you fighting for it?

Well, let me tell you this. One of my cousins works with someone who is married to the Almighty, and according to the Almighty, the near majority of Texans are on the wrong side of the moral argument here.

Anyway, let’s get back to reality, the Dems are not going to change what the majority of Texans want, too bad, tough, deal with it. But there are other states that can perform the procedure if that’s what a woman thinks she needs to do.

Do conservatives here support the law as it's written? Including rape and incest?

There is always and exception to the rule.

Bass: There is always and exception to the rule.

Do you support the law as it's written?

Well, Texas made its decision, so if women as so bent on wanting to get an abortion, just go to a state that allows it

Or vote out the current government and choose someone who is better.

We'll see just how many women in the state the governor has made angry by telling them what they're allowed to do with their bodies.

Actually, no they did not. There was no referendum? 

Yeah, the left keeps perpetuating that myth

Support the right of Texas women/females to decide what happens with their bodies. Their body, their choice.

They can in another state. No worries.

Just like you do with vaccinations.

Different, I’m not taking a developing life

No acceptions for rape and incest is a cruel law

Not true, there’s always an exception in those cases

Not for this law. Do you support this law as it’s written?

I support the law, but that doesn’t mean exceptions should be overlooked

Not true, there’s always an exception in those cases

No they're not. There are no exceptions for rape or incest under this law.

I support the law, but that doesn’t mean exceptions should be overlooked

Exceptions are overlooked. So do you support the law or not?

The fact of the matter is that if you support this law then you think that a woman getting pregnant after her father rapes her means that she should be forced to carry that baby to term. It is a grotesque position to hold. But if you support this law, it is one that you hold.

Note that I am not accusing anyone in particular. But I am saying that the inevitable consequence of this law is that a woman, or even an underage girl, who is raped by a relative will be forced to bear that child.

That's what supporters of this law want.

Supporters of this law are deviants.

No they're not. There are no exceptions for rape or incest under this law.

Nonsense, there’s always an exception, the law is not absolute and is not immune from being challenged in such cases.

Nonsense, there’s always an exception, the law is not absolute and is not immune from being challenged in such cases.

There are not. That's the entire point of this law.

Exceptions are overlooked. So do you support the law or not?

I gave the answer already.

That is not the case and again, you can go to another state and get an abortion or better yet, give the child up for adoption.

Supporters of this law are deviants

Many of us feel the same about those that don’t support it.

There are not. That's the entire point of this law.

No, there is always an exception to the law. I read it in its entirety. Don’t believe the left hype.

I gave the answer already.

I cannot believe that you do, because it would mean you support forcing underage girls to be forced to give birth to a child created by rape from a relative.

That is not the case and again, you can go to another state and get an abortion or better yet, give the child up for adoption.

Why should you have to go to another state? Poor people can't do that easily. I know the right despise the poor, but surely, surely you have sympathy for a girl who has been raped by a relative? Don't you? You accept that rape and incest should be exceptions (even though in Texas they're not), so why not make it easy for them to access these exceptions? Why make it prohibitively expensive and difficult?

If I dropped you in the middle of the Mojave with no food or water, I could say, "just go to the supermarket". That's an option that's not really an option. That's what this law does for rape victims.

Many of us feel the same about those that don’t support it.

Because we don't think that girls raped by a relative should be forced to bear their child?

Bass: I support the law

Fair enough.

I cannot believe that you do,

I do though

Why should you have to go to another state?

Because Texas decided. 

If I dropped you in the middle of the Mojave with no food or water, I could say, "just go to the supermarket". That's an option that's not really an option. That's what this law does for rape victims.

I don't do hypotheticals 

Because we don't think that girls raped by a relative should be forced to bear their child?

I never said, nor implied that.

Nonsense, there’s always an exception, the law is not absolute and is not immune from being challenged in such cases.

Then prove it. Prove there are actual exceptions in the law. There aren't. www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2021/09/26/texas-gov-abbott-still-refuses-to-add-rape-and-incest-exemptions-to-abortion-law/amp/

Also, I'd like to point out that your insistence that there are exceptions sounds oddly pro-choice.

Yeah, well I am pro-life.

Yeah, well I am pro-life.

lmao How are you pro-life when you support exceptions to abortion bans in instances of rape and incest? Are some lives just worth less? Are some lives okay to abort? Yes or no.
