Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me.

As someone wise said, birth control isn’t 100% effective. Best case is 99%, usually a bit less on average. Texas has >30 million people. Assuming 1% have sex once that’s 300,000. If they all use birth control that’s 3,000 potential babies they didn’t want. And I think we can agree these numbers are EXTREMELY conservative.

Getting pregnant doesn’t mean you didn’t try to prevent it.
