    There’s a propaganda film where a woman at an abortion clinic meets God and he talks her out of it. There is a background character in the film who is implied to be a regular at the abortion clinic and treats abortion like something she just does every month like getting a haircut. Conservatives think there are really a lot of people like that

      I think I remember hearing about that one, yeah. It’s utterly deranged the lengths they’ve gotta go to in order to demonize this.

      I truly can’t believe how many I’ve made balk at their stance by saying something to the effect of “Yeah I feel you, I don’t really like it getting used as emergency birth control either. But there’s no way to stop that from happening at a legislative level without also making it a de facto ban for situations like the one my wife was in,” and walking them through what hospitals would do, or have done in the case of those women in Texas was it that were dying of sepsis after their ban went into effect even though it supposedly had exceptions for “saving the life of the mother” in there? I might be thinking of a different state.
