Religion Rules!

            I read this article in the KUT.org about the tough requirements that the Texas’ legislatures demanded from the entire clinics that perform abortion.  I believe that these harsh regulations are only being enforced to make it harder for women to get an abortion due a religious group of people in a conservative state. Texas legislators should  not have passed this law .  A person reading this might think that this is a personal point of view, but if we analyze the behavior and decisions of most of the Legislators in the the Republican Party, it is obvious to see that they just want to enforce their religious beliefs and traditions.

                     They are bending the constitution to work in their favor as much as they can even when it clearly says otherwise. Because these people are relying heavily on a religion as a background for laws, this is a big indicator that their opposition to abortion is based mostly on religious stand. This fact by itself should be considered. A woman who seeks an abortion now for whatever reason, has to travel hundreds of miles to be able to find a clinic that preform abortion  and not only that she has to go back and forth for at least two times before she can get the abortion.  I’m not saying let’s have no restriction whatsoever on abortion, but still these restriction that were enforced by the Texas legislators are just being made to make it impossible for women to have an abortion. Moreover, there's a big contradiction within this party. They damned that the National government should be less involved in peoples' lives while they want to regulate people on a personal level and abortion is a very personal decision! 

          As a woman who lives in Texas, I’m very frustrated by these rules, health insurance is expansive as it is, but now if women needed an abortion, she would have to pay even more money to be able to get an abortion. Forcing women to see a physician multiple times before getting the abortion and also the mandatory sonogram are just other obstacles to getting an abortion. Furthermore with these anti-abortion laws is requiring physicians to have admitting privileges to hospitals withing 30 miles from the clinic!  What's the point of forcing a family to have a child that they can not afford? Or making  a victim of rape suffer with having to carry a baby of the man who raped her?!   For any classmate who is going to read my work. I'm not saying it is okay to go a head and be irresponsible and get pregnant and get then go get an abortion. And for anyone who think it's just the women responsibility when it comes to getting pregnant ( sadly I read it recently, where a guy was blaming women for getting pregnant and then seeking an abortion)  getting pregnant takes two people, and the guy should be just as much responsible.
