It makes access more unequal and makes abortions less safe. This decision will not impact all equally – it will impact low income and marginalised communities more. Regardless of what is being said, this is not about pro-life, it is about removing autonomy. Those who are now forced to carry to term will receive no more support, and judgement will still be passed on the new parents. Being pro-abortion is not a dirty word and having an abortion should carry no stigma |
