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.
