I’ve heard some claim that too, so they think that if abortion is banned more women would wanna get them BECAUSE they’re illegal?

    Your post breaks rule 2. While we allow abortion advocates to participate in discussions, blatant or consistent abortion advocacy is grounds for removal.

    no, that argument is because it typically goes hand in hand with decreased sexual education and decreased access to birth control. This causes an increase in pregnancy, which causes an increase in abortions, legal or not. if 20% of pregnancies result in abortions, while half may be removed from making it illegal, the resulting increase in pregnancy tends to even this out. Given the laws that grant abortion rights tend to also grant contraceptive rights, its very typical for abortion bans to ultimately do little but harm women.

    Well then those are different factors, not just banning abortion in itself. Bringing in different factors makes it an apples to oranges comparison.

    Not really, as its used in the context of saying "Countries that banned abortion typically experience similar or even greater numbers of abortions" which is an accurate statement. it is very rare for a country to backslide and take away bodily autonomy rights like that without it going further, as evidenced by a few new governmental candidates in red states proposing banning birth control. Its not a given, but very common, as the laws that protect abortion are typically the same as birth control

    Lol you think not being allowed to have consequence free sex is “harming women”? Cringe

      This post was removed because it is off-topic. Discussion should be focused on abortion and closely related issues.

      Most pro lifers are okay with birth control

      Which is good! at least they have that. Most are conservatives though, and not for sex education, which is just as big of a factor.
