The Supreme Court has elected not to hear objections to the Texas Fetal Heartbeat bill. Abortions after 6 weeks, ie. about 85% of all abortions, are now illegal in the Lone Star State.

Texas 6-week abortion ban takes effect after Supreme Court inaction

A controversial Texas law that bars abortions at six weeks went into effect early Wednesday morning after the Supreme Court and a federal appeals court failed to rule on pending emergency requests brought by abortion providers.

It's a good time to be a dentist, a lot of people are going to be breaking their teeth gnashing them so hard.

Hopefully this SC decision is just the first hint of what's coming. The SC has been directly challenged to reverse Roe and Casey in one of thier upcoming cases, and it's more than warranted.

National Review had an article covering this, that highlighted a particular issue that's come up with attempts to oppose the bill:

Also of interest is that abortion-advocacy groups and activists have very obviously, and with much linguistic difficulty, begun avoiding the word “woman.” Planned Parenthood says “someone will find out they’re pregnant” and “people in Texas seeking an abortion.” The ACLU says “assisting someone who gets an abortion.” Rewire editor Imani Gandy says “there are pregnant people who have abortions scheduled who now are going to be forced to carry pregnancies to term.” (Emphasis mine.)

There was a time not very long ago when abortion advocates would have relished deploying the word “woman” in these circumstances — recall the success of the “war on women” rhetoric.

But not anymore. In an age when progressives are required to espouse the view that biological men, too, can be pregnant, or that biological women can be pregnant while identifying as men, no longer can the abortion-advocacy movement rely on the helpfully divisive rhetoric of abortion as a “women’s rights” issue.

banning abortion will be only a first step. The next step will be what to do with all those kids whom the parents don't want. Trust me forcing those parents to raise there kids won't punish the parents. it's just going to punish the children.

The answer is ratcheting up knowledge and acceptance of contraceptives, not acting like abortion is a fix-it for people unwilling to be responsible for the natural consequences of their actions. There's much earlier and far better ways to pre-empt the matter, from reversible sterilization to hormone hijackers to the bog-standard condom.

Abortion should be reserved for medical purposes, because there's a mountain of other options. Bring the bag of hammers down on the abstinence-only nutjobs, keep sexual education focused strictly on relevant raw biology instead of politicizing the crap out of it with social science inclusions, and unfuck the adoption system.

Also make it take consent from the father, because "my body, my choice" is fundamentally incoherent for the subject of reproduction. It is not solely your body the moment that zygote implants on the uterine wall, we've been relentlessly bitching over where exactly to draw the line of when that "takes precedence" for decades and partisan hacks like you refuse to disown the nutters in the middle of pushing for post-birth "abortion" while only ever focusing on their opposite number.

agreed. Overall I'll just say the right needs to be legit pro-life not just pro-birth

Just getting Liberals out of the adoption process will go a long way. They have a tendency to try to obstruct it, much the way they tend to shut down private charity when they can, because those things undermine their social position.

The Roman Catholic Church used to be an absolute machine at finding homes for orphans. However, they're constantly hamstrung by cities refusing to allow them to place children under various LGBTQ+ lawsuits. F'rex in 2019, Philadelphia inexplicably suddenly decided Catholics were no longer allowed to find foster homes for children. Catholic Charities of Buffalo worked tirelessly to find homes for orphans for 95 years, but finally got shut down in 2018, because the Church placed children in homes with one man and one woman in them and the state ruled it was unlawful to ignore all the many other genders.

The right is quite pro-life, it's just that the left also throws endless lawsuits to prevent children from finding foster homes because kids having good homes undercuts their pro-abortion position. The lives of the kids are a small price to pay for their agenda, apparently.
