    Yup. We already know what America will look like with these bans. But these idiot Republicans think it’ll be swept under the rug like before. Abortion was banned in the 1920s and the number of women who’s obituaries that say shit like, “Jane Doe died suddenly due to unknown causes” is staggering. They would never mention the woman died was pregnant. Or they would say, “Jane Doe died due to undiagnosed blood loss.”

    Only difference now is that we free in the information age. There is no sweeping this under the rug and the main outcome is going to be the bottoming out of what remains of our birth rates. Pregnancy is literally to dangerous of a proposition for women in red states. Keep an eye on the yearly numbers of births per state. Women who do get pregnant and can afford to move will because very few pregnancies go 100% perfect. Poor woman will resort to back alleyway abortions more often than they would have when abortion was legal.

    What these pro rapist people don’t understand is, if cave women could figure out ways to end their pregnancy so can modern women. (Please for the love of God don’t take this as an enforcement of unsafe abortions but I know what path I’d take if the shoe was on the other foot.)

    There’s always a short term bump in teen and poor births when bans go into place. But you’ll see. Red states will quickly become Childless hell scape very soon.

      They can still effectively hide this information from the typical dumbass. The mediascape is so much narrowcasting and so bifurcated that a lot of people that choose to live in willful ignorance (the fauxbrained) will continue to do so. People that are not intentionally locking out any evidence but are basically low-info/passive consumers of things like Youtube, etc…will still probably be influenced by algorithms that are more likely to red-pill them than to actually inform them.
