ATTENTION TOWNSPEOPLE: Here's An Example Of An Astonishingly Selfish Couple Who Have No Idea What They're Talking About.
Let's just see if we can't walk through all of the AMAZING FLAWS in their argument. There are a lot, so bear with me here.
1. Marni and John say that the part of the Texas law that insists doctors have hospital admitting privileges to perform abortions violates their rights. Except that it doesn't, because there are places they can go IN THEIR OWN FREAKING CITY. Texas hasn't changed anything about a woman's ability to obtain an abortion at 6 weeks. All Texas did was require that clinics that perform abortions have a certain level of safety standards in place. The Planned Parenthood that Marni wanted to go to didn't have doctors on staff who had bothered to get admitting privileges at any of the hospitals. That's not Texas' fault, nor is it an infringement on Marni's "rights" to kill her unborn kid.
2. Every last argument that this couple made about justifying their "choice" was so self-serving and so completely without regard to the fact that there was another human life at stake. They were all, "Abortion has such a stigma" as if that's a BAD THING. People shouldn't be looking at abortion as some sort of insignificant act. It's brutal and life-ending. And these two people are acting as though they've been violated in some way. Please.
3. The couple is seemingly oblivious to the fact that abortion isn't the only solution to avoid having to raise a child. It's as if they've never even HEARD THE WORD "adoption." The reasons they list for not having a kid have nothing to do the pregnancy itself. Did you notice that? It was all about the "health of their relationship" and "do they have enough of a foundation built up" and money and whatnot.
