Fertility clinics in some red states

I’ve seen estimates that the number of abortions will decrease only by about 10-15% since abortion is more common in states that are abortion friendly.
Also read that they are disproportionately obtained by black women.
So I’m guessing more black babies in red states is what we should expect.

Interesting side note... I've seen where if there were no abortion, the percentage of black people in America would be doubled.

Off topic somewhat, but I would like to see a simultaneous push to expand and streamline our adoption machinery in this country. There will be a lot of babies born that are not wanted.

Sidenote...IIRC, the trigger law in Texas contains $100M for pregnancy assistance, including adoption, in the event of R v W overturn.

Standard IVF practice usually fertilize more eggs than will be implanted into a womb, so if the law defines “life begins at conception” and “conception” is synonymous to “fertilization,” then wouldn’t the standard IVF practice be “premeditated murder” — creating more “lives” than the practitioners know well ahead of time that some will be “die” because a greater-than-zero number of these “lives” will never be implanted?

There were 55,000 abortions in Texas in 2017. So this would amount to about $3500 per person for pregnancy assistance.
Compassionate conservatism at work right here, folks!

The Texas "pregnancy assistance" money only gets released upon triggering by SCOTUS' ruling on Roe v. Wade? Is "pregnancy assistance" not a good idea before SCOTUS rules on Roe v. Wade?

Where need is greater, assistance is greater. That’s how compassion works.

Democrats hate black people. They like the votes, but they really hate the people.

Sorry, I said IIRC. In actuality, they're already spending it...
