TX’s no choice law, but what about programs to address the impact that will have?

Question

Let me start off by saying I don’t agree with Texas’s anti choice (not sure if I can say the A word here) law. But for those that created it and stand behind it - do they not see the risks associated with it? How can they create that law without Also creating the social programs and supports necessary to address the consequences/effect the law will have? Examples would be things like more adoption supports, parenting supports, increased funding for CPS, cheaper access to daycare, more funding for mental health, substance abuse, and domestic violence services, as well as food and housing help, and more. Is there no foresight here? Or am I missing a piece of the picture?

Accepted Answer

They do not give one damn about it. They don’t care about the woman not the baby either. They just want to force people to give birth and then say “you should have thought about that” 
People love to scream save the babies but don’t give a shot about them once they are here.
Minimum wage
Housing 
Childcare
Healthcare
Rape
Incest
Life or death for mom
Foster care
Domestic violence 
The overall fact that they do not want to be a parent at that time.
But I could go on and on but I cannot wait to leave Texas and I sincerely hope more doctors start performing them to challenge it. One already has and he is risking his license. I say they all should.. can’t have a state with no physicians. 🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾

I just can't imagine being a 14 year old raped by her dad and being forced to have the baby.  How can this even be real.  So so so sad.

I listened to a really good podcast about this. I'm going to paraphrase but there was an amazing quote that was something like:
The unborn are easy to champion. 
They are the perfect issue to take up, because they only exist for 9 months. They don't talk back. They don't look untidy. They don't demand any rights or fair treatment. You can impose whatever ideal you want on them.
After they are born, they are no longer the unborn, so you can satisfy your sense of moral superiority without actually having to deal with people in need like the homeless, domestic violence sufferers, widows and orphans, abandoned children, etc. You've made yourself feel morally superior without actually having to do anything good.
(The real quote was much much better!)
If you're interested, the podcast is called Just the Gist, and their most recent episode is called "Rosie's A********". One of the hosts - Rosie Waterland - talks about the Texas law, and then her experience and why she needed the choice. The hosts talk a lot of shit at the beginning so if you only want the main content skip ahead 10-20 minutes. 
This law is putting at risk the health and safety of child bearing people and taking on no responsibility for what happens next.
Thanks for posting OP - I hope it doesn't get deleted.

Answer

Because these dingbats just see it as “oh we saved an innocent life!” Not for what it really is. Continuing cycles that these women may have finally been able to break if they were given the option to choose. As someone who works in Women’s health at a practice that offers abortion, this shit has me LIVID. I’ll spare my rant because I feel like the majority of the other comments expressed my feelings pretty similarly. and I agree, if you’re going to remove the option, you need to increase programs and funding so that these poor women are able to get out of/prevent the situations they’re in. But they won’t. Makes me want to scream.

Answer

I'm a little confused by the new law. People keep saying that it says you can't get one at all. But I thought it was after 6 or 7 weeks you can't? Can't people still get one before 6 weeks?
