    abortions are serious medical procedures

    This is a myth.

    Perhaps that statement was a bit broad. There are serious abortion procedures depending on many factors even if not all abortions would be called serious. The point I was making is that even the least serious options are not some desired thing. So continuing as “pro abortion” opens dems up to the idiots on the right that think normal people are relying on them as birth control. Just pivot to mother’s health as the framing and then you can point to the statistics of how contraceptive access and sex ed improve all aspects of the mother’s health including fewer abortions. Then point to red states and their higher abortion rates.

      If a woman wants to go through the expense (and pain) of using abortion as a form of birth control why would we stop her? It’s her body. That’s her prerogative.

      People get stupid tattoos all the time but we don’t have laws against that. It’s not like a fetus can think or feel anything.

        That doesn’t stop the idiots from making that argument. The point is to show how rarely that’s the case and to help people choose better options through sex ed.
