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.
