And... now we know why there are 900,000 abortions per year. Nearly a million women apparently can't be bothered to be proactively responsible with their own reproductive health.

Many wont. Many will miss the cut off point. Many will have to save more money and take time off of work to travel to another state.

It depends. Some women have irregular cycles. If they're sexually active, testing is an important part of their own reproductive health care. No different than diabetics testing their blood sugar levels.

How will that work out in the 13 states that will immediately criminalize abortion, at any stage of pregnancy, once Roe is repealed? She can be taking a pregnancy test twice a day and that won't matter.

Which states are immediately criminalizing all abortion?

Not everybody in America wants to support abortion rights for disreputable, unmarried women.

This is not something liberals want you to know.

Support for convenience abortions is surprisingly slim. Americans overwhelmingly support the 1.7% of abortions that are performed for physical health risk to mother and/or baby (+70, +44), rape or incest (+63), but are pretty evenly split on supporting the 98.3% of abortions that are performed solely for the sake of convenience. Support for the latter is only +3.

This ABC Chart tells the real story of how Americans feel about abortion.

Default Yamiche Alcindor reports: women outside MS abortion clinic ‘feel ‘gutted,’ ‘devastated,’ and ‘like someone has died'

huh. ya think?

great choice of phrasing there.

I’m in Mississippi outside the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the abortion clinic at the center of the SCOTUS case. While conservatives are celebrating the possible end of Roe v. Wade, some women here tell me they feel “gutted,” “devastated,” and “like someone has died.”

This is why it is such a bad idea to legislate a time limit for a bodily function that operates with so much variation from person to person. Not to mention that once a woman does find out for sure that she is pregnant, she needs time to decide what to do about it. Then, if an abortion is warranted, it takes time to get a an appointment with a doctor or medical clinic. This all takes time.
