On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in fast-tracked cases to do with a Texas law which bans most abortions once a fetal heartbeat is detected, at around six weeks. A recent poll from the University of Houston-Texas Southern University shows that once adults are more informed about the law, that the ban is triggered by the detection of a fetal heartbeat, they are in support.
According to the Executive Summary of the poll, 69 percent of responds believe that the Texas law is too restrictive. Forty six percent believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases immediately after six weeks, while 23 percent think it should be legal due to the limited circumstances of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk.
Currently, the law only allows for the exception of when the mother’s life is at risk.
But those numbers are quite different, the summary also notes, once respondents are aware of the reasoning behind the ban. Once they are aware it’s to do with the detection of a fetal heartbeat, 55 percent support the legislation, including 37 percent who strongly support it, and 45 percent oppose it.
The summary even notes that it’s “supported by three-fourths of those Texans whose preferred abortion policy at six weeks is to allow abortion only in the case of rape or incest, exceptions absent from SB 8, in addition to if the mother’s life is at risk.”
The poll also later notes: More refined analysis was carried out of those Texans whose preference for abortion immediately after six weeks is that it be illegal except in cases of rape, incest, or risk to the mother’s life. It turns out that while these Texans would prefer exceptions for rape and incest, when only given the SB 8 option (which only provides for an exception in the event of risk to the mother’s life), an overwhelming majority of 75% support SB 8 while only 25% oppose it. A majority of numerous demographics support the legislation, including whites (55 percent), Latino (58 percent), men (59 […]

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
