The state of Texas is taking some actions lately against abortion. The article I chose, written by Gary Scharrer, talks about the last amendment approved by the Texas House banning any tax money going for abortion or abortion services. This article explains the legislator's positions and the complaints arising since the amendment took place. Just a couple of months ago the governor Rick Perry signed the controversial pre-abortion sonogram law, and they strike again with this amendment to make even more difficult the situation to Texan pregnant women looking for a second option. It’s a fact that 101 seats out of 150 are hold by Republicans in the Texas House what makes it almost a direct approvals of any resolution embracing republican ideology, Since this party holds a firm anti-abortion position, which is also my personal position in this matter, the law in Texas could interfere in the rights of the women who want to have an abortion. "We have made abortion so difficult in this state. I predict that women very soon will be going underground,” clever comment made by the leader Rep. Jessica Farrar, a reality we can face in a near future if the focus of this issue keeps going in the same direction. It is truth that the actions took will decrease in some way the abortion's statistics, but taking away government aid for the women in this kind of procedures and any related service during the abortion process, in my opinion is not the solution of the problem, instead an aggravating of the issue and the way the abortion will be handle for future generations.
