      Birth control isn’t 100% effective and not all pregnancies are viable, nevermind desirable. Texas doesn’t even allow abortions in case of rape you fucking ghoul.

        So because someone raped someone, a completely innocent person should die? That’s your logic?

      As someone wise said, birth control isn’t 100% effective. Best case is 99%, usually a bit less on average. Texas has >30 million people. Assuming 1% have sex once that’s 300,000. If they all use birth control that’s 3,000 potential babies they didn’t want. And I think we can agree these numbers are EXTREMELY conservative.

      Getting pregnant doesn’t mean you didn’t try to prevent it.
