The twenty weeks is a red herring in what is really an attempt to, in practical terms, ban abortion altogether in Texas.

yeah, i'm really not getting that though, i was borned and raised in south texas and for decades abortion was a non-issue, now it's all the sudden the issue there.
i guess maybe politics brought this issue back up but it appears there is debate on if the legislation would cause the clinics to close. it very well may but this is not the texas politics i am used to.
i've been away for a while though, hopefully never to go back to that shithole state, even austin.
the other thing i don't get is this bill passed right?
