Conservatives hear the word "abortion" and all their feeble little minds can conceive of is this simple monolithic on/off thing, when there is much more complexity and nuance around the subject. Collateral damage isn't something they can comprehend. Here's just another example:

Abortion bans complicate access to drugs for cancer, arthritis, even ulcers

Ridiculous! @SW-User

@Carissimi I agree, conservatives are ridiculous

No. That statement is ridiculous. Abortion does not affect access to other treatments. It’s absurd. @SW-User

Closing planned parenthood clinics in anti abortion states DOES affect access to other treatments. Treatments at these clinics often sought by the poorest non insured among us.

When I was a young and broke twenty something, planned parenthood saved my friend by catching her cervical cancer early. Imagine if they hadnt existed. She could have died. I guess closing those clinics is somehow prolife though.

@Carissimi It ABSOLUTELY closes off access to other treatments.

@Carissimi do you have particular qualifications or special knowledge to back up this counter-intuitive claim?
