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.

Seems like we’re already seeing an increase in support among the general population for women’s freedom of choice in reproductive care, polling and failures of several states to pass further restrictions on abortion seem to bear this out; however, now that the right’s got a young 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, it likely won’t matter a whole lot what the majority of Americans want regarding abortion. Abortion in the US is practically dead at least until everyone in my generation is dead too.

@JPWhoo It is now a states rights issue. Go to the blue states that provide abortions or go to Israel, as they provide free abortions.
