According to a new study, abortions dropped by 50% in Texas in the month after the heartbeat bill was passed. This from thegatewaypundit.com.
In August 5,377 legal abortions were performed in Texas.
That number plummeted to 2,164 in September.
Abortions dropped by about 50 percent in Texas in September after a new law prohibiting most abortions went into effect, according to a new study.
The drop was ascertained by the Texas Policy Evaluation Project. The group compared the number of abortions performed at Texas clinics this September (2,164) to the amount in September 2020 (4,313).
The law, which went into effect on Sept. 1, bars physicians from performing an abortion without first testing for a fetal heartbeat. If the heartbeat is detected, an abortion can only be done if the doctor determines a medical emergency exists.
This has upset liberals.
Dr. Allison Gilbert, a physician and medical director at the Southwestern Women’s Surgery Center in Dallas called the events “devastating.”
Whether you are pro-life, pro-choice, or simply don’t give a rat’s ass one way or another, these numbers are eye opening. Imagine if similar laws existed throughout all fifty states.
Gilbert’s response directly above is also eye opening. I’m not licensed to practice medicine, however, I don’t believe she should be either.
