After Abortion Ban, Texas Teen Birth Rate Rises
texasobserver.org
A 15-year decline in Texas teen birth rates slid to a stop—and converted into a modest increase in 2022, the year after the state Legislature implemented what was the nation’s strongest ban on abortion, according to new report from the University of Houston’s Institute for Research on Women, Gender & Sexuality.

As intended, the point is to get white people to breed... I'm sadly not joking
While they would be delighted if that were to happen, in this case, it is poor people they want to breed no matter what color they are. They want all those impoverished babies born so they can:
Under-educate them
Force them into crappy jobs that will keep them poor while enriching their overlords
Convince them that the progressives who want to help them and improve their lives are really their enemies
Deceive them into voting for the very tyrants who are oppressing them
They don't really care what color skin the meat they feed into their machine is wearing.
Nah, they want them to all be black, but white is acceptable.
More blacks mean more people they can throw in jails to use as slave labor for their corporate overlords.
They want all the black people they can get.
I'm a native Texan and I've got to disabuse you of this notion. There's definitely an effort to monetize the state's bigoted legislature. But the end goal of these policies isn't a large black prison force any more than the work camps in Dachau were about having a large Gypsy/Jewish/Communist labor force.
The goal is to work these prisoners to death until there's nobody left to arrest.
We continue to have a rich legacy of forced sterilization nationally, particularly in state prisons.
But the prisons are for profit. There must be a steady stream of prisoners (that will be used as slave labor) or the prisons go out of business, and the prisons will do everything in their power to make sure that doesn't happen.
Everything is for profit. The state is kickbacks stacked on top of kickbacks. They spend $3.5 billion/yr on ramshackle buildings with no AC and prohibition systems that barely function. They can't keep anyone on staff because even the guards are treated like chattel.
Prison populations have been falling since COVID but spending (and profits) have only increased.
If every prisoner in Texas vanished tomorrow, I guarantee the private contractors and facilities would still post record profits by year end.
Don't forget that under supported poverty stricken children often grow up to become under supported poverty stricken veterans and the enlistment rate has never been lower (unless something big has changed). Now who wants to go die for some freedom halfway across the globe!? AMERICA FUCK YEA!
If so, they are once again working against their own goals. I just googled and found this: https://www.kff.org/womens-health-policy/state-indicator/abortions-by-race/
Now that doesn't work too well on my phone, but all the states that aren't whitebread states, the abortion rate is higher among black people, which means an abortion ban is going to have black folks having less abortions than white folks. And that's before you factor in that white folks are more likely to be able to travel to obtain abortions.
I don't know whether you're right or not. It wouldn't surprise me, but I do feel like anyone smart enough to stack these dominos is smart enough to see where they'll fall, but this would be far from the first time the right has shocked me with their intellectual failures.
Are you saying that abortion has kept the black populating artificially low? And that black Americans could have represented a much larger portion of the electorate?
I posted the website so you can draw your own conclusions, but I don't believe abortion rates are high enough to draw that conclusion. I'm not even sure what the ratio is nationality. Many big states don't report by race. In any event the numbers are probably not big enough to suggest they would be a "much larger portion."
And because conservatives think they'll become obedient housewives instead of feminists.
If thats the intention its skyrocketing the latino birth rates
Give it a generation and Hispanics will be considered white. It'll happen just as it happened to the Irish and Italians and Eastern Europeans.
Oh man, what a backfire.
I’d bet that in aggregate, white women are far more advantaged for traveling and affording an out-of-state abortion than Latina women.
End result is more Latinx babies and less white babies. Conservatives brought about the majority-minority they tried to prevent, thanks to their own hubris.
No doubt they’ll use that to their advantage though. It’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
No no no, it's all religion, ooh say can't you see?
Sounds like you're joking, but your correct as well. After all, indoctrination is how religion grows. Why do you think religions are anti-abortion and anti-contraception? There may have been a time when religion was useful, but has long since passed. We need to stop giving religion a voice.
Yet people who think like this are the same who try to turn Atheism into a religion, Scientism over Science.... It's poison
