Under extremist, right-wing (nut) Republican control, Texas gutted funding to family-planning services statewide - an action which affects tens of thousands of American women.
Being Texas, of course they didn't stop there. They also passed a law which forces women seeking termination of a pregnancy to undergo medically-unnecessary ultrasound procedures. (What's the big deal. Just close your eyes, right?)
So... Have the draconian actions of the (*mostly male) Texas GOP lawmakers brought an end to abortion?
No. Of course not!
Result: The 21st Century's coat-hanger/back-alley abortions comes in the form of a pharmaceutical drug. Readily available from unregulated pharmacies in Mexico. Without a prescription or instructions, thank you very much.
Can you say "massive hemorrhaging", boys and girls?
Wow! This is much better than undergoing a legal, medical procedure performed by a licensed physician in a sterile, well-equipped, staffed hospital room.
Gee... Thanks, Texas!
