Texas and the Cracked Idols | The American Conservative

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

48% : From the perspective of the whole war against abortion in America, the victory in this Texas battle is primarily significant for the introduction of an innovative tactic, a tactic essentially having to do with law but misperceived as being of a piece with Mammon -- the liberal sees his gods everywhere.
45% : Our creator endowed us with the right to life and yet millions of children lose their right to life every year because of abortion," Governor Greg Abbott said as he signed the bill this past Wednesday.
44% : Undiscussed in the controversy around the heartbeat bill has been the Texas legislature's commitment of $100 million to the state's "Alternatives to Abortion" program, which includes everything from counseling and employment training to carseats and housing support.
42% : The potential for damages per abortion successfully challenged in suit is not so much a bounty as it is the recovery of expenses for something no civilization can survive without: the enforcement of law.
38% : And it is that inaction that makes the faction for "choice" feel betrayed, shocked that their temple, which has given them miracles like same-sex marriage, would fail now to defend this bloody sacrament.
