I appreciate your civil arguments, but I decline to be included in "half the population" that supposedly is being treated with disdain. There are many women opposed to abortion.

Yes, there are. But you should be able to make that decision for yourself, not have it shoved down your throat by government dictate.
Women should never have been subjected to such political theater as the Texas bounty hunter scheme. You deal with life's complexities every day and are perfectly capable of deciding the abortion issue for yourselves instead of having a man--face it, most of the politicians deciding these things for you are men--tell you what's best. I find it insulting for women, their doctors, and their friends to be chased down by bounty hunters because Abbott wants another term as governor.
My comment was in direct response to the comment that abortion bans show disdain to half the population. I'm assuming "half the population" refers to women. I don't feel that abortion restrictions show disdain to me as a woman.
Oops, missed this! I do believe they show disdain in that they assume women don't know how to make this decision without Big Daddy's help. Women do.
That said, there are degrees. A policy that simply says, "Abortion restrictions begin at 24 weeks because the consensus is that mother's right is dominant until then, and child's right dominates after that," is a lot less insulting then, "Cause you won't keep your legs together, bimbo, have the baby or we'll let bounty hunters ruin your life."
The former is better because it acknowledges the rights of both parties, not only the fetus's.

The latter is Ken Paxton's Texas.
