Warning. The following link made me cry, made me mad and made me want to deck someone while simultaneously holding and comforting the woman in the story. It's not your daily pug or happy little tree. I'll get back to those.
Dear Texas and all other states that require an ultrasound and/or a doctor to tell a woman getting an abortion exactly what she's doing,
You are evil for doing this. It is horrible and wrong.
You don't think we *know* what we're doing? We all know, we all have our reasons and none of us is there to get our tenth abortion free.
Sometimes, we do this because the fetus we're carrying will have either no life or one full of pain.
You have no right to tell us we have to bring babies into this world to die or suffer. You don't have the right to make that choice. These children come from our bodies and we have the inalianble right to make these decisions for them while they are in our bodies. And, frankly, till they grow up. If they're so sick they need to be taken off life support, we are the ones who make that choice. We are the ones in the NICU, we are the ones rushing them to the hospitals, we are the ones giving them care. You are not.
You do not have the right to tell us we don't know what we're doing. You do not have the right to tell us we're wrong for having an abortion nor do you have the right to tell us we're wrong for carrying to term. You don't have to live our lives, you don't get to make our decisions.
You talk of morals. Piling pain upon pain is not a moral thing. Telling a woman she does not have the right to her body because of *your* beliefs is *not* a moral thing.
As other women have said, now you got us mad. And when we're mad, we get things done. I hope you politicians have something to fall back on when we vote you out. Actually, I truly couldn't care less.
Angrily, and in complete control of her facilities,
Me
{Don't try to engage me in a discussion about how fathers have these rights too. Yeah, I know. The laws are on our bodies, not theirs.}

However, if we have a decent guy who just doesn't really care about his beloved's well-being- yeah, that could help raise his awareness.
Personally, I favor intrusive and expensive medical tests before prescribing Viagra etc., which are equally "unnatural".
