What might the reaction be across the US were abortion to be made illegal ?

That the law-makers who truly hate girls and women have won. And they’ll start dying again, like they did [b]before[/b] Roe v. Wade. It’ll probably take the death of some politicians’ daughters before it’ll be revisited.
@bijouxbroussard There are women who don't support abortion too .. some of them are lawmakers. Are we really trying to pretend only people who hate women and girls are pro-life??

Adoption is a viable alternative where no one has to die .. mother or child .. for a better outcome.
@Stillwaiting I know, and there are also women who are very misogynistic. So there’s no pretense. They [b]do[/b] hate their own gender, based on results. And the overburdened foster care system in most states would give lie to the popular fiction that people are just waiting to adopt unwanted children, especially if they’re not white, well-nourished or born to women who are not unhealthy or drug-addicted. And those law-makers who call themselves pro-life while cutting resources, education and social services to the children who have been born, or [b]healthcare[/b] services that include contraception and [b]prenatal care[/b] are not just anti-woman. They’re [b]liars[/b].
@bijouxbroussard So everything is a conspiracy of women haters and liars?? And you really believe that ?? Wow.
@Stillwaiting Not everything, but the so-called “pro-life” lobby definitely is. Anyone who would force a woman or girl to give birth against her will is robbing her of her bodily autonomy. Wow, indeed.
@bijouxbroussard That person engaged in activity that led to life being created. There is a certain morality of laws .. it was one thing in first trimester .. but allowing it up to birth? Talk about robbing someone of their bodily autonomy .. and the most vulnerable of all human life. Don't talk morality with me if you support that.
@Stillwaiting You can’t abort a baby at birth ! We can deliver babies and incubate them much earlier than before ! The “pro-life” lobby doesn’t even [b]try[/b] to make sense with their lies...🤦🏽‍♀️
@bijouxbroussard NY and VA significantly loosened limitations on getting approval for 3rd trimester abortion, allowed Phys Assts / Nurse Practitioners to perform abortions instead of doctors. There were calls for even more by those supporting the changes, which are a step toward that goal as the rights already existed in both states.
@Stillwaiting 33 states have already banned LTAs, even to save a woman’s life. According to the AMA, they shouldn’t even be considered unless her life is in danger [b]and[/b] the fetus has “serious anomalies incompatible with life”. Admittedly, late term abortion is not a hill I’m willing to die on, both the CDC and the Charlotte Lozier Institute say the percentage in the states that don’t ban them is 1.3% of all abortions. I admit it sounds pretty barbaric. I have witnessed abortions done in the first trimester that were basically a matter of retrieving cells. Ironically, the so-called “prolife” want to ban [b]all[/b] abortions based upon that 1.3%, including access to the pill (mifepristone). Yet some don’t believe pregnancy occurs often enough as a result of rape (5% to 6.4%) to justify that exception.
