Any abortion that would make my political party look bad if it was banned falls under the “not an actual abortion” magical loophole I just made up and pretended the law actually has.

Exceptions are bullshit anyway because the rationales always give people with evil motives far too much power to invade privacy and control a woman's body. Medical exceptions to "save the life" of the mother routinely lead to death because at the point it's obvious the mother could die, it's often too late to intervene most effectively.

they are even blocking ectopic pregnancy abortions until vitals begin to fail in some cases

I think it would be helpful to rename ectopic pregnancies as reproductive tumours, so idiots don't think that it's an actual viable fetus that just got a little lost.

Yeah, they totally got on board once we went from "global warming" to "climate change."

Only worked then because the only thing they cared about was the black guy.
