Stage 4: Regulating Abortion Away In Texas

On Wednesday 20, 2013, the Burnt Orange Report  published a blog title Regulating Abortion Away in Texas by Chaille Jolink. In this blog, Chailie Jolink is discussing about abortion and how the Texas is doing what it does best, threatening women, the poor, and health care providers. A bill has been filed by Senator Bob Deuell (R-Greenville) which states that every abortion provider must also be compliant as a licensed ambulatory surgical center.
I think it was actually a good blog and it was worth reading because I agree and I don't think abortion should be legal. I think abortion is very unsafe and harmful. But it's a very controversial topic to talk about, abortion is a big issue concerning women because for years it had been said that abortion should not be legal. Many people feel aborting an unwanted child, or killing an unwanted child be against the law.
Even though Deuell insists this bill is all about safety, "if the health care centers can't afford burdensome changes and cannot provide care anymore." then no woman is safe. It is estimated by Planned Parenthood that the number of clinics would drop from 42 to only 5 throughout the entire state. This bill will do nothing to advance women's health, but it will drive up the cost of women's health care which drives up the risk of unsafe medical procedures, not the other way around.
