The 20 weeks thing is neither here nor there. What it affects is in these onerous requirements shutting down clinics that a lot of women use for a broad array of health services.

It so often seems like prenatal life is the only life the pro-lifers give a damn about, given their opposition to funding for any health services for the living.

Is it right for us to be taxed to pay for others' health services?  I would say it is not. 

I wouldn't even be opposed to states running these so-called health clinics.  Although we know that they are by and large abortion clinics.  I just don't think the federal government has any business getting involved and taking care of people in this way.

If we as a society decide that we want state-run health clinics, then so be it (even though I personally don't see why I should be taxed to pay for it if I or my family doesn't use it), but it should be done on a state level, not on a federal level.  Let the states deal with their health services as they choose, and let the pro-life states limit abortion services, and the free-wheeling liberal states have as many abortions as they want. 

Abortion is only a tiny part of what these health clinics offer. The Planned Parenthood organization, for instance, has only a miniscule fraction of their budget alloted to abortion services.

These are "women's health" clinics, first and foremost, which is why i have a hard time believing that Texas is doing anything but deliberately stomping further on women and the poor.
