Late last month, a so-called “trigger law” went into effect following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade earlier this year. The trigger law makes it a felony to perform an abortion in the state with narrow exceptions when the pregnant person’s life is at risk.
“We want to support those victims, but also those victims can access health care immediately, as well as to report it,” Abbott told The Dallas Morning News and KXAS-TV’s “Lone Star Politics” in a segment obtained by the Morning News that will air on Sunday.
“By accessing health care immediately, they can get the Plan B pill that can prevent a pregnancy from occurring in the first place,” he added.
Plan B is an oral contraceptive that is taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex or a “contraceptive accident” to prevent pregnancy, according to the product’s website. The pill prevents an egg from being released from the ovary to prohibit fertilization.
The Republican governor also told “Lone Star Politics” that reporting a rape to law enforcement “will ensure that the rapist will be arrested and prosecuted.”
However, very few rape cases result in an arrest. While there were 13,327 reported rapes in Texas in 2020, there were only 1,828 arrests for rape, according to the state’s department of public safety. (THE HILL)
“As the song goes in the movie Mary Poppins: And every task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that
A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way…” (Spoonful of Sugar/Richard and Robert Sherman)
GREG ABBOTT has a PLAN for all you Gals, Lassies, Ladies, and Girls who have been raped, by your Dad, Bro, Grandpap, Uncle, or complete Stranger, just go to the Pharmacy the moment THE RAPIST is done planting his sperm inside your vagina, and get yourself a script for PLAN B. No need to worry about the RAPE first things first, just pick yourself up, brush yourself off, jump in your car, or call an UBER, and get to a pharmacy…(you might gotta look up where to find a 24-hour Pharmacy if the Rape happens after store hours) Easy, breezy, according to GREG ABBOTT, no need to worry about that zygote. And then call the PO-LEECE, cause by all means as history has proven it's once again Easy, breezy to send that Rapist to jail.
