The Texas abortion ban is working and a new report from the Texas health department shows just 17 abortions so far in 2023 as the state’s pro-life law has saved tens of thousands of babies from abortions.

Texas Health and Human Services Commission recorded only 17 legal abortions in the first four months of 2023, according to a new report by the agency. All the abortions that took place were needed to save the life of the mother or because of medical emergencies.

Some abortion advocates expressed shock at the numbers, but they clearly don’t undrestand that abortion is essentially never medically necessary.
