I agree.

And now, in many of the poorest areas, safe legal abortions won't be an option.

Yep, one more reason this new Republican is still "Pro"-Abortion. I would rather pay a few hundred dollars for an abortion than to pay hundreds of thousands in jail time and welfare. Just think of the pain, suffering, and death, that could be avoided if Murder's, Rapist, Fentanyl and Heroin dealers were aborted in the first place

No, we know what the core position of anti abortionists is. Its that sapient human life begins at conception. Most of us just dont agree. Sure there are some catholic Democrat politicians who try and have it both ways, but most pro-choice people dont believe zygotes and early embryos are yet human.

And the best that you failed to mention is less Democrats and Leftists. It's a win win

Not all can travel as you think everything is so easy. The pill is being banned as well, abortion is abortion, they want to make it a crime. Read the news.

Yes. And, according to Janey Yellen today, banning abortion would be horrible for the economy! I'm starting to think she is now suffering from Joe Biden's foot in mouth problem.

And most pro-choice people disagree with your basic premise. Therefore, if we can't agree on what is a "person", then we're unlikely to agree on what might be ethical behavior regarding that fetus.

And if you want to talk about manufacturing "silly logic", then please explain to me why most of the "pro-life" advocates seem to lose interest in what happens to that fetus once it gets out of the womb. Once it exits the birth canal, then the baby and mother (along with the rest of the family) are no longer a concern of the "pro-life" crowd.

Are you equally adamant about what happens to the young unwanted kids AFTER they're born? If so, then what ways do you show it? Do you volunteer to babysit for young unwed mothers so they can continue their schooling or work at a job? Do you volunteer to help the mother who just had her fourth kid and whose husband is working at a low wage job trying to keep them fed and clothed? Or does your interest in what happens to that mother and child end once the child is born?

An unwanted child only faces pain. Even the adopted have a thing about mom not wanting them, even when have the greatest adoptive parents. It’s a scar hard to erase. But WTH, the Reps don’t care about the kid, it’s about making women submit.

Those Republican's should realize that even in their ranks, the majority are fine with Roe v Wade. The court that passed Roe v Wade was a Republican court. Guess they were brighter back then Anyway, Dems will get violent as they have shown already, just like they did supporting the BLM riots, and we can look at them at them and say "I told you so, Dems are violent crazy people, and creating an unstable country".

Anyway it plays out it won't change anything in the mid terms.

And you and yours don't care about the unborn who will never get a chance to live at all. Many adopted kids have full and happy lives contrary to the scenario you are painting.

It has nothing to do with making women submit either. That's just leftist, liberal rubbish.
