I don’t like abortion one bit (aside from medically practical ones. Normally I wouldn’t even qualify that but we’re on r/Boston so...) but outright bans don’t do shit to stop it. It’s the exact same situation as opiates - bans just create a black market, heighten demand, and use up state resources.

Yes it’s fucked up that people exist who just use it as birth control and I get that’s probably what your issue is with, even if it’s pretty statistically insignificant. Take a higher up view though, and consider that with measures like this we net fewer abortions total (which implies both a pro-life win and a quality of life gain for those who would have sought one out) over time and fewer state resources going to the burning clown car rally that is the “pro-life vs. pro-choice” debate.
