They pass laws that have no provision for the life of the mother, which WILL be overturned, so they can demonize people who oppose the law. They aren't serious about reducing or stopping abortions. There are things they could do that i'd support, like providing prenatal care to any poor or middle income woman who wants it, providing legal protections for working pregnant women, providing healthcare and other support for all children, subsudizing quality childcare, easing the path to adoptions.

That would reduce abortions considerably I bet. But that isn't really their agenda.

i guess my point is that except in the relatively rare case where a pregnancy is a threat to a woman's life or health, women don't have abortions because they don't want to be pregnant - it's the next 18 to 22 years after delivery that we are worried about. As a mother, it's clear that their real concern ends where mine begins - with the well being of my children.
