Can you please give me a summary of Texas Bill SB 5 (the abortion bill that was just defeated) so I can put it out there for a Conservative friend of mine on FB?

Asked by jca (36062points) June 26th, 2013

I posted a link on FB about the now defeated abortion bill in Texas and how it’s good for women.

A conservative friend of mine who I will sometimes debate with posted something similar to the following:

“Now that the bill was defeated abortion clinics don’t have to meet the same standards of other surgical centers in Texas & the doctors performing the abortions don’t have to have admitting rights to a local hospital if something major happens. This is good for women? Not to mention that after five months you could still destroy the pregnancy. This is good for women? I support a womens right to choose, but after five months?”

I don’t usually debate about politics but this guy and his opinions irk me. Can someone give me a summary of the bill and/or some “talking points” to reply to what he wrote?
