70. Lines at clinics...
Last time I checked there are something like 1.5 million abortions in America every year, so if as you state, there are hardly any abortion clinics open anymore were true, the lines must be very long.

As far as logic goes, there was zero in that comment of yrs. It's a fact that access to abortion in the US has been declining rapidly, due to clinics being forced to close, hospitals being taken over by the Catholic Church, which then refuses to perform abortions, and a slew of restrictions like mandatory waiting periods etc. If a woman is wealthy enough to travel, maybe she could join a queue somewhere where she can get an abortion, but most women are a fair bit more intelligent than you think and when they're trying to get an abortion will hit the phone-book and try to make an appointment, hence no long lines to prove whatever point it is yr trying to make, and I suspect it's to bask in the glow of how much freedom and respect US women get in yr opinion...
