I might be missing known stats that prove otherwise, but the fact that most abortions are chosen by white women, combined with their much-greater ability than black or brown people in red states to travel to a blue state to get one, means that abortion bans will shift unwanted births to the non-white demographic, which I guess is NOT what the ban-framers want. (Just as anti-vaxxers cause more deaths among their own demographic.) Just sayin'.

Let's look at some facts.

Fact 1: The unspoken target is black and brown people on welfare.

Fact 2: My NaziRepublican Party worshipper relatives think ALL people on welfare are black and brown

Fact 3: The majority of welfare goes to corporations, not people.

Fact 4: Most of the welfare that does go to people, goes to people who are NOT poor

Fact 5: Most poor people on welfare are white and rural

Fact 6: Most abortions are gotten by white women

Fact 7: Most abortions are performed to save the life of the woman, not the mother, there is no mother involved, just a woman and a non viable lump of cells.

Fact 8: Eliminating Planned Parenthood INCREASES the number of abortions because teen girls with cultist parents can't sneak and get birth control, pregnancy advice, health care, pregnancy advice, help with adoptions, pregnancy advice, and pregnancy advice.

Fact 9: White non-poor women can easily get abortions.

Fact 10: Although the vast majority of children born because of the tragedy of abortion restrictions are rural whites, brown and black urban babies get all the headlines.

Fact 11: Although it's never mentioned, restricting women's rights is a self-reinforcing problem. Women love babies, they are all fascinated by babies, they all WANT babies. Women who are certain they cannot successfully raise children ARE ALMOST CERTAINLY CORRECT. That means 15 years later the unsuccessfully raised children will be making more children they cannot successfully raise, expanding the problem.

Fact 12: History shows us that before safe, affordable, legal abortion was available, there were 50% more abortions. Eliminating abortions increases the number of abortions. It's exactly the same as telling your teenager that drinking will suppress their inhibitions and cause them to do stupid stuff. Right, that's exactly why I drank back then, to suppress my inhibitions - and guess what, plenty of girls did the same thing. It's 100% natural, stupid, but 100% natural.
