Making abortion illegal does not mean there will be no abortions. This bland, unexamined assumption is passed over again and again in anti-choice discussions. For those of "a certain age", who remember pre - Roe vs Wade. .What it means is lonely, terrifying, septic deaths of desperate young women who attempt to self-abort. It means back alley butchers, charging huge fees in filthy places. It means suicide for those poor girls who can see no way out of their despair..

I hope everyone who finds themselves locked in a contentious discussion with some forced-birther will remember.
