When you outlaw abortions. Only outlaws will have abortions.

Just twisting that right-wing meme we see several times a week.

Outlawing abortions will not stop abortions.

It will just lead to the loss of the lives of women and girls as they are driven by desperate circumstances to the only alternative left.

Have had abortions or miscarriages. Yes, miscarriages too. Then the re-education can begin.

hundreds of thousands from the 50's and 60's my dear. And it wasn't legal then either.
WHAT RE=EDUCATION ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT..???

I need some drugs to handle this

Agenda begin. The re-education will come from all of the sisters, wives, daughters, etc who explain to them that losing a pregnancy through miscarriage or murder isn't murder. And that it happens to almost all sexually active women.

I almost bled to death because I had to hitchhike to and from the clinic.

We're talking about a safe, legal medical procedure that would be performed in every hospital if men needed them.

have had a miscarriage. The estimates are 30-40% of pregnancies end in miscarriage.

Mother Nature wipes out more pregnancies than abortion ever could.

Clinics are being forced to close and women who can't afford to travel will suffer for it.

Our opponents know what they're doing.

Posted an op about Tennessee's latest attempt to obstruct abortions the other day and it sunk like a rock.

Too many popularity contests going on.

...with more happening quite frequently.

So I'm not sure how much you've read, but it's been going on only for only the last 40 years or so.
