First, math. 50 states minus 13 states likely to immediately make abortion illegal leaves 37 states where women can still legally get an abortion. And of course the Dems are using this as a fundraising opportunity… I’m pro-choice but I’ll be the first to agree there’s no constitutional right to get an abortion. (I wouldn’t protest a ban on third trimester abortions but this post is not about my personal view on the issue. I will elaborate on it in a separate post. But one quick joke just to add a little levity to such a depressing topic: I asked my mom — I think I was probably 11 or so — if we were pro-life or pro-choice. She said we were pro-choice but in our family, we don’t pay money for someone else to kill our kids. We wait till they’re teenagers and do it ourselves. Ha! You may have extrapolated that that was part of a larger more nuanced conversation about the ethics of taking money to perform an abortion, every child ideally being a wanted child, the immorality of using abortion as birth control, and more.)
