    Where are you getting that 50k number from? Is it based on the number of abortions performed in 2021? You don’t, perhaps, think that women might be getting abortions out of state, or relying on better birth control methods, or are resorting to smuggling in Plan B? You think it’s really a 1-to-1?

      Birth control is not murder.

      I’m sure there’s probably been a couple out of state abortions, but they’d have to drive for 16 hours for it. It’s banned in Louisiana and Oklahoma. Arkansas only allows it in emergencies. So you’re talking about a hell of a drive and getting a hotel for a night or two. If you can’t be bothered with a pill, are you really going to be bothered to road trip?

        Birth control and abortion are 1:1 comparisons when we’re talking about nonviable pregnancies and fetuses that were raped into someone. Either they’re both murder or neither one is, you don’t get to pick and choose your morals just because you choose not to understand the ACTUAL ramifications.

        Do you think folks who don’t want kids just magically turn into good parents when they’re forced to keep them? What do you think happens to all these babies that are being “saved”? You know that places that restrict abortion have higher teenage pregnancy right? And anywhere with higher teenage pregnancy also trends toward higher poverty, crime, untimely death, lower education, etc.

        What’s your end game? Where do you think this goes?

          My end game is less baby murder, and guess what happened? Less baby murder! Mission accomplished.

          How are you so evil that you’re advocating for baby murder?
