Saying that people have to "love abortion" or they are working against the interests of women or pandering to the anti-choice crowd is just fucking nutty. Abortion carries emotional, physical, and economic costs. There's no getting around that. As such there should be less of them for the simple reason that most of them are the result of other societal failures. That doesn't mean any woman should be denied access to the service or shamed in any way for having one. It means we have a breakdown in things like the availability of birth control, including morning after pills, comprehensive sex education, and those who still cling to the bronze age religious flawed idea that sex is only for procreation and is morally wrong otherwise. When the flat earthers get drug into the modern age and the attitudes surrounding sex start to change, we'll see less abortions, and that's a good thing.
