Texas anti-abortion laws are leading to more abortions in the second trimester of pregnancy. This is an unintended consequence of the strong pro-life regulations put into place by the state in 2013. Subsequently, there are much fewer abortion providers in the state and waiting lists to get the procedure have increased dramatically. Thus, women are getting abortions much later than they would otherwise. Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian (The Point) hosts of The Young Turks discuss. Do you think this is what the laws were intended to do? Let us know in the comments below.

Hooray for life, right? Thing is, women still want abortions, because they are evil sex-having sluts, and so the wait times at the state’s remaining 18 facilities providing abortions have increased to insane levels: In some cases, women had to wait nearly a month to be seen. In others, clinics had to turn women away, since they had no available appointment slots open. As a result, women are waiting longer to have abortions, resulting in a lot more second-trimester abortions, the kind that “pro-life” people especially detest. The data on increased wait times was compiled by the Texas Policy Evaluation Project, which predicts that if the Supreme Court upholds the most restrictive provision of HB2, the requirement that all clinics meet the same building codes as ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs), so many more clinics will be forced to close that the number of second-trimester abortions will double, from 6,600 in 2013 to a projected 12,400 annually. That provision of the law is currently on hold until the Supremes make a ruling.” ********** The Young Turks October 8, 2015 Hour 2 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs Hazing Ritual Involving Oral Sex Gets Frat Suspended https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBdjEUBRnnE&index;=1&list;=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs Kanye Discriminated In Fashion Industry But Not For Reason You Think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGDAKojNta4&index;=2&list;=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs Bill Cosby Forced To Testify About Allegedly Raping Teenage Girl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pocGcS7JdYQ&index;=3&list;=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs Journalist Faces Decades In Prison For "Defacing" Newspaper Site https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f77Fx6iKWFI&index;=4&list;=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs How Pro-Life Laws Lead To Later Abortions https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oxu47ad7zvI&index;=5&list;=PLTpcK80irdQgj-9KYgqZJh5k3gqGwCnOs ********** The Largest Online News Show in the World.
