Moronic pro forced birthers didn't understand that putting a ridiculously low time limit to decide means women will need to make a decision faster instead of having time to think it over.
Nah.
That isn’t an oversight in their mind. The objective is to ban all forms of abortion. Legally, it’s a form of compromise, but in their view it’s a loophole.
The next crusade is that already limited window.
But they'll make this into an argument to ban abortion medication.
If only someone had warned conservatives this would happen...
Oh wait, this was pointed out multiple times and they chose to ignore it.
I think like 80% of births would go away if people had the choice to become pregnant.
Hey girl, is this a good time to bake a baby? ( ) Yes (•) No
That is what contraceptions is for and countries where contraception and abortions are readily available don't have 80% lower birth rates than the US.
Lots of people don’t wear condoms. You’re missing the point. If your body had to “approve” the pregnancy, I think most people would not approve it unless they were actively trying.
80% of births would go away
I doubt it would be that high, but if it really did eliminate 80% of births, it'd be pretty catastrophic demographically. The US would have the lowest total fertility rate in the world by a significant amount.
As an American, I can live with that if it means people aren't forced to give birth when they don't want to.
Future generations will be able to make whatever demands they want for employment and employers would be forced to comply due to reduced available workforce. Yeah it'll fuck a lot of other stuff up but it won't be fucking over the working class.
Real "Oh no, anyways..." moment
