In Texas, where open-carry gun laws seem to take precedence over the safety of its citizens, the recent abortion law stands out as a blatant attack on women’s rights. While state leaders refuse to enforce mask mandates that could save lives and have relaxed gun permit regulations, they have cleverly disguised their latest move—an abortion ban—as a “pro-life” initiative.
The irony is staggering. Protecting children from mass shootings or a deadly virus? Not a priority. But controlling women’s reproductive choices? Apparently, that’s how they define being “pro-life.” This hypocrisy is not only appalling but also a gross violation of women’s autonomy over their bodies.
The reality is straightforward: if you oppose abortion, simply don’t have one. However, denying safe and legal access to abortion for others is unacceptable.
Conservative policymakers fail to grasp a crucial point: abortions will continue to occur, regardless of laws. What these restrictions do is make abortions unsafe, leading to increased health risks and deaths. The truth is, outlawing abortions doesn’t eliminate them; it merely makes them perilous.
If Texas truly aimed to reduce the number of abortions, it would invest in comprehensive sex education, accessible healthcare, and birth control options. Instead, these laws reflect a desire to control rather than care.
Women with uteruses do not need to justify their choices with tragic backstories; their autonomy over their reproductive rights should be respected without question. Until men are equally accountable for childbearing and child-rearing, they should have no say in abortion matters.
The hypocrisy is unmistakable, especially when those advocating for stringent abortion laws also claim “my body, my choice” regarding masks and vaccinations. This contradiction reveals their true intentions—control over women’s bodies rather than genuine concern for life.
Texas’ draconian abortion ban is a call to action. We must unite, march, and advocate for women’s rights. Our strength lies in our collective voice, and we will not back down.
