In Texas, killing an unborn child takes less time than a dentist appointment

Think about your last dentist appointment. How many weeks did you have to wait before you can have your teeth checked? Well, in Texas, killing a baby takes less time compared to seeing a dentist.

According to data gathered by pro-life Christian group Operation Rescue, pregnant mothers in Texas usually wait less than a week—6.5 days to be exact—for them to be able to undergo abortions.

On the average, Americans in other state will have to wait 8.5 days before they can have their unborn babies killed. This means that it is faster to get an abortion in Texas compared to other parts in the United States, owing to a new safety law that is in effect in the state.

This amount of time is also substantially less if compared to how long it usually takes a woman to have dentist appointment. According to Operation Rescue, getting a tooth filling has an average waiting time of five weeks—way longer if placed side by side with the average waiting time for Texas and the rest of the U.S.

In an interview with Life Site News, Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said these data clearly disprove the belief being promoted by mainstream media that it is difficult for American women to murder unwanted children in their wombs.

"What we are seeing now is an orchestrated propaganda campaign in the left-leaning mainstream media to discredit abortion safety laws such as those passed in Texas. This is more about pushing a radical abortion agenda on the American people that reporting the facts," Newman said.

"But when you look at the actual data, as we have, the media's brazen attempt at public manipulation on the subject of abortion is exposed," he added.

The Christian group's data further showed how first trimester surgical abortions are cheaper to get in Texas than in other states.

According to Operation Rescue's study, a woman who wants to undergo a surgical abortion in Texas will have to shell out $578.47 on the average. This same procedure to end the life of a gift from God will be costlier in other American states: an average price of $594.74.

The pro-life Christian organisation came out with these data after calling 1,000 abortion clinics in the U.S. The data gatherers were able to speak to actual abortion clinic workers on waiting time and pricing, making these figures highly credible.
