Who let Texans make laws?

[Abhidevananda]

Certainly, from an ethical and medical point of view, in most cases
self-restraint is a far better option than abortion. But there are cases
where self-restraint simply was not an option. And because of those
cases - and the impossibility to be certain that it might have factored
in - the only sensible moral position is to allow for abortion at the
woman's discretion. Counseling may or may not take place, but in the
final analysis, only the pregnant woman (or her guardian) has the right
to decide what is best for her.

In this light, the new law in Texas, which effectively outlaws abortion
and makes anyone even tangentially involved with the process a target
for bounty hunters, is most odious. It is an oppression of women,
American puritanism at its worst.
