re: #373 WindUpBird

Abortion isn’t birth control, and the vast vast VAAAST majority of women do not use it as such. It’s an invasive procedure, what rational person would want to risk having an invasive and painful procedure every time they had sex? But you cannot deny A) that birth control can fail and that B) sometimes complications arise in pregnancy that require an abortion. In that sense, it IS a normal health care issue. it’s not routine, but it is normal in that it actually happens through no fault of the mother.

Middle class people can usually swing the cost of an abortion. Poor people in states that have ad-hoc outlawed abortion are the losers in these situations.

It’s $500 bucks or so. Big deal.
