To be clear, Texas's position is consistent... if you understand that the point of Texas's anti-abortion laws have nothing to do with the protection of women and EVERYTHING to do with controlling women's bodies. Those in power would prefer women as subservient servants, so denying the protections they supposedly champion when it protects a woman is... pretty much where they want to come out on this.
TL;DR the people championing these laws wanted women controlled. They give zero fucks about fetuses.
