I disagree that abortion is "just health care."

Scientifically speaking, conception writes a new genetic code for a new human being. This is undeniable. Onc ecell division begins, you cannot avoid the fact that a new human life has begun. Every other measure, including the Texas detectable heartbeat provision or birth, is arbitrary.

Culturally, we have swung from prudishness to casual irresponsibility when it comes to sex. I don't deny that rape can result in pregnancy, but this is rare in comparison to people who want to just ignore the natural consequences of their actions. It is indicative of a far deeper rot in our society.

I don't buy the accusation of pervasive "rape culture", but we do need to hold men more responsible for their philandering. However, we also have a system that absolutely destroys .en for failure to meet State mandated child support. It's a mess.

Murdering an innocent life and calling it "health care" is not a real solution, though. Some want to make an analogy to eviction of a tenant, but we are seeing a strange overlap between "abortion is a right" and "housing is a right," so in that case, we see many ignoring major cognitive dissonance. Another example is, "no one should be forced to support another life against their will, but pay taxes to fund my pet government programs like welfare and health care." This doesn't really show any philosophical consistency, just an effort to dodge responsibility.

A slightly better argument for evictionism is that of bodily self-ownership and the pregnancy as trespass, but the u is not the one who acted. It's less like an unwanted stowaway crept aboard a ship and more like the ship's crew shanghaied someone only to decide to throw them overboard later. Even in the first case, we would consider throwing someone overboard to be murder. In the latter, though, we see culpability for the entire situation much more clearly.

I can see arguments to be made for the morning-after pill. Besides, this is a way people can immediately take responsibility to preemptively address the possible consequences of their actions. Texas law still offers a significant window for people to discover what happened. I don't like the arbitrary cutoff or enforcement either, but let's not pretend casual murder of less-developed life is a way out of responsibility.
