Actions do have consequences. In Texas, a married woman desiring to have children ended up in a situation where here pregnancy needed termination due to complications to the fetus. This was denied under Texas law until the cionbdition reached the point where she in all likelihood became sterile and unable to have children in the future. It is my understanding that other women have died because the bar to allow "life-saving surgery" is perilously close to being too late.

I have known a few women who have had abortions and is not a "no-consequence" procedure; long-term scars remain.

But I do believe that we need significantly more access to pre-conception birth control and the morning after pill.
