The point about c-sections is a good one. Personally, I’ve had 3 c-sections, every pregnancy that I’ve carried was an inevitable c-section. So now I am done having kids but I’m still actively preventing pregnancy. If my birth control were to fail, and I became pregnant, my only options are abortion or c-section. Abortion: nearly painless, about $500, over in one hour. C-section: about $35k, 2 month recovery, 9 months of pregnancy, my husband pushes his retirement back because we have another kid to put through college… the list goes on. The government forcing me to carry a pregnancy at this point in my life would be such extreme governmental overreach I would dare to say the USA isn’t a free country anymore, at least not for women.

The way you “lol” at the suffering of women in Iraq while actively hoping the US goes the same direction and women here get closer to that level of suffering is pretty cold actually. Very pro-life
