And inflation is good, more illegals is great, having a president that cannot tie his shoes is better

It may have made an abortion for some inconvenient and more expensive but with an increase in abortions apparently it didn't stop anyone.

Sure it did... people had to go to another state, which caused them an unnecessary expense.

Worse, the study also showed that the lack of funding for women's health clinics resulted in a decrease in general coverage. Which negatively affects all women.

Assuming the research is correct and abortions went up after the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade then the Supreme Court's decision did not prohibit or restrict anyone's rights.

If this thread is true then stop whining about the SCOTUS taking away a woman's right to choose. Or in other words, the right to kill their babies in the womb.

simple is murder legal or not.


You're simple, the issue is not. It's a question of whether the government should have the right to make medical decisions for the people.

I showed in the other thread that, in Texas alone, more than 2,200 women in 2023 were forced to carry babies to term that had no chance of survival. In many cases this put the mother's life in danger, and damaged their ability to try again. Many of them incurred major medical expenses, too... doctors, delivery, NICU, funerals, etc.

You're arguing that the government had the right to force these women to do this, and I disagree.

We can discuss the economy in one of the other million threads on it, but I've already explained and you won't listen so it's a waste of time. Pearls before swine and all that... but this thread is about abortion, not Biden and not the economy.

I wonder why they compared 2023 to 2020 instead of 2022 or 2021

Had you followed the link, yo would have seen that Guttmacher Institute says that 2023 was "the first full calendar year after the US Supreme Court's decision," and that 2020 was "the last year for which comprehensive estimates are available." So those dates weren't cherry picked, they were the only way to compare apples to apples.


It also shows that we reached a peak number of abortions in 1990, then the rate decreased each year until 2018. The rate began to increase in 2019... before COVID.

a 11% increase from 2020, I wonder why they compared 2023 to 2020 instead of 2022 or 2021 when the US Supreme Court said abortion was a state issue and not a constitutional right; 2020 the year Covid besieged the US and most people were forced to stay at home.

Two years ago, the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade...

... the number and rate of abortions in 2023 hit their highest point in over a decade, according to a report from the Guttmacher Institute, a research and policy non-profit that advocates for sexual and reproductive health rights.

The organization estimates there were more than 1 million abortions in the formal US healthcare system last year, a 11% increase from 2020.

With these states offering decreased access to care, all it really did was result in more abortions... they just went to another state to get it.
