It is disingenuous to think that the main pressure or reason preventing women from having access to abortion is the God-bother-ers.
I mean.. Ain't nobody want to be paying no child support.
Not very often. I would imagine the greatest pressure or force preventing or prohibiting or obstructing women from having earlier access to birth control or earlier abortion (particularly the chemical methods that apparently do put women at risk more than surgical procedures but would also, from a psychological point of view, be something far more... Privacy preserving for the woman.
I mean... If I ever was raped, say, and for some reason the morning after pill was prevented... I would much rather take a tablet myself, still, than have someone else perform a medical procedure 'down there' which would, to my mind, be the very same kind of trauma all over again, really.
I would imagine at least some women would feel the same way about that. Even if my risk of dying was significantly higher... I would far prefer having my own control over my own chemical means.
But access to medicines is restricted 'for our own good' and access to typically (but not always men) doing whatever they want 'down there' on their own terms... Is preserved. Seems to me.
I think the state laws are appropriate for the context of what is going on in that particular state insofar as I can see it or understand what is going on.
I don't see it as a reversal of Roe v Wade... But then I thought... To my mind... Before.. I thought that the conclusion was a good one... But I acually thought the reasoning was not so good. That is to say I thought it was wrongly decided. But toher people thought that that wasn't the case with it at all so I don't know...
