Again the red states are going to sponge off of the blue states. Already
the standard answer from red states is for women needing an abortion to just head
to a blue state.

  4. Is it okay to pull the plug on a person in a vegetative state and who decides that?
  5. Should assisted suicide be illegal?
  6. If a pregnant woman is murdered, is it a double-homicide?
  7. Is it okay for a brutal murderer to be put to death by the government?
  8. When is it acceptable to remove children from the custody of their parents?
  9. How do you define rape and what is the punishment for it?

The state governments have figured out the answers to these questions and no two states have done it exactly the same way. If New York wants to pass a law stating that life begins on your 5th birthday and you can be legally aborted up to that point, then that's the law in New York. If Oklahoma passes laws against any and all abortion and suddenly a whole bunch of accommodation is needed for women who can no longer get an abortion, then they'll have to figure that out. The states just barely got ability to decide anything abortion-related back, so it's going to take awhile for them to sort everything out.
You must have missed the part about the states with trigger laws. Their new abortion restrictions went into effect the moment the SC decision was announced. Google "abortion trigger laws" for more info.

Aside from rape, incest, Mother's health issues, the whole Roe v Wade reversal is just about women (or men) having to use birth control or contraceptives now. Is that such a uge deal? That is what the vast majority of Americans do anyways.

I get that these measures are not 100% effective, & only ~99% effective, so in some of those cases, women many have to travel.

Why not just take the morning after pill each time?

Umm - because in their insane competition to virtue-signal, red state legislators have declared it an abortifacient? May prevent a fertilized egg from implanting, and a fertilized egg is a baby, you monster!

The morning after pill is $50 a pop and very hard to find even before this happened...

The underground/illegal abortion business will be booming.

OP, you make it sound like abortion was the answer to all of those social problems. I'm not comfortable with that.

It's pretty hard to travel to another state for an abortion when you do not have any money, and the state has intimidated the non-profits that help women with abortion care are intimidated into shutting down by state officials. Briscoe Cain, a Texas Republican legislator, has sent cease and desist letters to multiple non-profits that help women, and has said he will do everything in his power to prosecute them if they provide funding. Given how unclear Texas law is on the topic, he may be very effective.
And in many cases, we're talking about TEENS, high-school kids. How are they going to travel to another part of the US to get an abortion, and who would pay for it? These are not reasonable comments, "just go to a state that offers abortion". These are callous, facile, flippant shrug-offs.

That's what I keep pointing out on these threads; a zygote is not a baby. If an abortion can be scheduled within the first month after a missed period, it's not even called an "abortion". It's called a "menstrual extraction". There's not even a fetus present, lat alone a baby.

This must be weird, for someone from Denmark.
