It is unclear to me where women were excited about abortion other than maybe some video clip that went viral. This is a complex issue often entailing sadness and loss whether it’s an incipient miscarriage or even when chosen. The basic premise is whether or not the government can dictate these decisions. It is not about life at all because there is absolutely no discussion of the morality of a fetus/child dependent on an impoverished, mentally ill substance abusing mother. Zero. Polarizing superficial debates where everyone is a self-professed expert helps no one. Revenge of the Patriarchs in Foreign Affairs by Erica Chenoweth details how reproductive control is absolutely a political power grab. And I didn’t have to use the word fascist.
