Paul, I think you are the one who is oversimplying things. The other countries that have 15 week limits have very expansive exceptions, and no doctor fears going to prison for the rest of their lives if they treat someone with an abortion. I don't have a problem AT ALL with the people who support the policies that would make abortion less likely, or offer REAL support to expectant women in need (not the coercive, dishonest kind that comes from many "crisis pregnancy centers"). But the kinds of bans Republicans are passing are unbelievably cruel; just listen to the horror stories of women like Kate Cox, Brittany Watts, and literally thousands of others. The state forcing a woman to remain pregnant against her will, to risk permanent damage to her body and possibly her life, is a grave infringement of her bodily autonomy and a human rights violation.
