Abortion rights are going away in some states.

> In Texas, last time I looked, anybody can initiate a lawsuit against a doctor on abortion related issues, making doctors frozen due to legal worries and even reverting to communicating on paper notes that they then throw away. It's insane. We're taking decision making from the educated and giving it to the uneducated.

.. as you've pointed out yourself.

> The rise in extremism on both sides is fueling this,

There is no pro-abortion "extremism". There never has been anything comparable to the anti-abortion bombings.

> For states like Texas, where most people still hold to vaguely Christian values and new life is valued over choice, they feel like they are forced to allow murder.

Texas has the death penalty to show how much they value life.
