You don't get to pick the lesser evil with a fucking ban. Since the Dobbs Decision, this is the reality on the ground. Women dying or nearly dying because of miscarriages or stillbirths and doctors won't help because they know their R Attorney General is chomping at the bit for someone to be made an example of. Since Dobbs, OBGYNs in states with bans have been closing their practices and moving to other states, because they don't want to have to choose between letting their patient die or breaking the law and definitely get sued. Women dying in spite of a clear federal cut-out if a women's life is in danger, because either way you're going to court.

Oh, and to clarify, the Evangelical myth of a sex maniac woman who has abortions cause she likes it isn't a fucking thing. Ending of voluntary abortion is just an excuse to punish women who have sex, as far as I've seen.

Besides, abortion bans don't even do the thing you want them to do. They don't make abortions less prevalent, they make them more prevalent. Unless, of course, you actually want to punish women who have sex, in which case you can log off.

You want to reduce the amount of abortions, for real? This is how you do it. Basic sex education before puberty begins (8 years old, in case you don't know basic human biology) where anatomy, function, and the changes that occur during puberty is discussed. Comprehensive sex education before students become sexually active (12 years old, since 7.1% of young people lose their virginity before 13) which includes discussion of sexually transmitted diseases, pregnancy, and the use of prophylactics. Freely available condoms. Done, abortions will reach historic lows and no one will have had to die to do it. Or does your crayon morals think teaching about sex increases its prevalence? Cause it doesn't. Or maybe you just don't like the idea of it being discussed? In which case, you're choosing people dying over having awkward conversations.
