Since the overturn of Roe vs. Wade, it's gonna be interesting to know where talks on abortion go from here and beyond

The idea some people have in preventing an abortion is to not get pregnant is a lazy way of thinking, as it ignores all the possible reasons a woman might end up needing/getting an abortion. For example, some women experience severe complications during pregnancy that might result in an early termination, they may have been eager to become a mother but shit happened in the process.

Though, It doesn't help that since the overturn of R v W, depending on which state a woman lives in, if she lives in a state where there's a 6 week ban but is in need of an abortion, she may be denied that procedure due fear some medical professionals trained in that field have of going to prison if they perform the procedure or prescribe her an abortion pill. From accounts I've read, being denied help has to be an awful/scary experience that will continue for others in the future. Due to this and more, I honestly think the decision will eventually cause more people to lean more to pro-choice and/or a greater support for women's reproductive health as this effects everyone.

Yeah, but I think the advent of the morning-after pill and the 10-week abortion pill change the situation in fundamental ways. Far fewer women will need to go to an abortion provider; they can take a pair of pills and have an abortion in the privacy of their own homes.

Also none of the abortion statistics will accurately reflect the rate of private at home pharmaceutical abortions, so the data for public debate will be highly suspect. I think women will still shun anti-abortion states on principle, but those who remain will always have the pharmaceutical option.

@ElwoodBlues that's true but it'll be even more fun when women choose not to pass on the genes of the men trying to control their choices in those states. I have 137 already 102 guaranteed . with at least 2 more en route. Id say it's happening

@exchrist I've used this site to document to the extent possible every single one of my kids. No joke 102 for sure 95 guaranteed and possibly 137 I stopped tracking it when it hit 82. It's amazing but unbelievable. And they keep asking for that donation I made close to 30 years ago
