I mean, obviously birth control is cheaper and easier for everyone, but that aside there should be as many as there needs to be. No one should have to carry a pregnancy to term against their will, and that shouldn't be anyone else's business or a political bargaining chip.

Don't get me wrong, I definitely think the stronger argument to sway those on the fence is to emphasize that better access to birth control decreases abortions and banning abortion doesn't actually reduce the abortion rate, it just makes it more dangerous. But like, that's not why I take that position. Personal bodily autonomy is plenty of reason in my book, and I don't feel a particular need to try to bring the number of abortions down.

But yeah, I'm sure it's not a particularly fun medical procedure either.
