I personally think abortions should not be permitted after the first trimester, because higher brain structures appear between weeks 12 and 16 (and consciousness by week 24).
This is the sensible position that most Americans agree with.
(and with women's lives and rights),
This is the crux of that matter. Horrific punishment of rape victims by forcing them to bring the rapists spawn to term. And breeding more rapists, if there's a genetic component to the propensity to rape.
But Texas republicans' hate is rising against women. Probably related to there being one in the second highest office in the land. Humans have history on this. The witch trials peaked when Elizabeth I was on the English throne.

Indeed - I wish more voters would appreciate the history of religious extremism, and the potential outcomes of state challenges to Roe v Wade, which is a form of class warfare, religious warfare, and male dominance. I think women can be trusted to look after their own bodies, especially in the first trimester, when they should have safe options for themselves. If I remember correctly, getting an abortion - and especially an unsafe coat-hanger abortion - reduces a woman's potential for pregnancies thereafter. So the "Christian" argument that women will be irresponsible because they're so horny won't work. Planned Parenthood - in states that support it - helps women understand the risks of pregnancy. Do churches have a form of Planned Parenthood? Not really.

Roe vs Wade is dead.
The SCOTUS had allowed a law designed to violate it stand.

Yep - now there's a legal precedent to violate R v W.
