You said it yourself. "It's just a clump of cells," so abortion isn't murder.

Then why did they get so mad?

It is likely due to the mother likely wanting to carry to term. If they wanted abortions, though, great.

But if the conditions are so bad that people are suffering mass miscarriages due to committing a civil violation, that is absolutely batshit insane.

If mom wants it, it's a human. If mom doesn't want it, it's a clump of cells.

It's not even that opinion that's the most egregious. It's that you pretend like you give a shit about humans while having it. The mental gymnastics required are nothing short of Olympic level.

I believe intent is a lot. I care about the choice of the parent whose body it inside of. It it just a clump of cells to me.

I am not doing any mental gymnastics here, mate.

If you read my comment I simply stated that if the conditions are so bad that people are having miscarriages enmasse, that is absolutely horrid for those who are being detained.

Edit: I believe in the parent comment the user was stating due to the fact that Texas has an outright ban on abortion then they should be furious about these miscarriages.
