Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: This is what happens when women are not allowed to make decisions for themselves.
Considering that at least some patients have been victims of rape or incest or are otherwise suffering from medical complications, the ordeal seems even more barbaric.are unsure about the legality of a medically advisable abortion, a woman carrying a nonviable fetus may have to go through the agony and emotional torment of giving birth.
Following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, women from states with restrictive abortion laws reflect on what the decision will mean for their communities. If forced-birth activists thought this situation would be popular, they have greatly miscalculated. A newfinds only 37 percent of the state’s residents support the new law; 54 percent oppose it. Contrary to the new law, the poll reports, only 8 percent and 13 percent of Texas voters would ban access to abortion in the cases of rape and incest, respectively.
Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott , a champion of forced birth, saw his lead in the gubernatorial race drop to six percentage points. Nearly 60 percent of residents say Texas is on the wrong track, up eight points since April and a new high since the poll began in 2009. If one were to invent a regime in which pregnant women were economically, emotionally and physically abused in ways no man would ever tolerate, you would be hard-pressed to come up with a better example than Texas. It’s what happens when women are not treated as full citizens able to make decisions for themselves.
