(The Hill/NEXSTAR) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said rape victims in the state can prevent pregnancies by using emergency contraception pills such as Plan B, The Dallas Morning News reported Friday.

In Texas, abortions are banned. There are no exceptions for rape or incest.

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.

Presenting abortion as the ‘life-saving solution’ for women facing challenging pregnancies is a warped view of health care.

he U.S. Supreme Court decision on Dobbs has sent abortion advocates and their allies in the media scurrying to strike fear into the hearts of women. 

One example from just before the ruling is a New York Times article titled “Poland Shows the Risks for Women When Abortion Is Banned.” The article’s false implication is that thousands of women in the United States could die of pregnancy complications because physicians will now have their hands tied from intervening in life-threatening situations. That’s a bald-faced lie.

While Roe v Wade was overturned because there is nothing in the Constitution that legitimately conveys a right to abortion this young lady highlights some spot-on points about how the Lunatic Left set the stage for it being time to do away with this horrendous, weakly contrived ruling. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg thought it was a horribly reasoned ruling!

Who was Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade? Who was Mary Doe of Doe v. Bolton? What was the Supreme Court thinking when it handed down the Roe v. Wade decision? The true history of Roe v. Wade is a story every American should know.
