Pro-life activists around the country — and particularly in the states that have enacted abortion restrictions or outright bans following the disastrous Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade — are running headfirst into the realization that you can’t stop people from getting necessary health care.
This is what pro-choicers had consistently warned about in the run-up to this June’s Dobbs decision, and more generally have flatly stated throughout the history of the national abortion access fight. Fortunately, the grim invocations of clothes hanger abortions have largely not come to pass, with domestic and international operations focused on supplying safe and effective abortion pills to those in need.
Now, the anti-health care crowd, who won’t be satisfied until every pregnancy is carried to term, with the health and free will of the mother be damned, wants to go to extraordinary lengths to block the avenues for these life-saving drugs to reach patients.
