And what of the women who will die from lack of care, while states settle on this "compromise"? Or the women who will be denied care, even if there are so-called exemptions for rape, incest, or health of the woman in such a settled compromise? NYT compiled a nice article about how this is routinely happening now. Abortion is a part of women's reproductive healthcare, and Dobbs is the most awful decision to come down from the court since Korematsu.

The anti-abortion crowd will state some version of "...these deaths and adverse outcomes are a cost of doing business and returning our country to system of laws and morality in agreement with traditional patriarchal Christian values".

And even if they don't include the "patriarchal", that's what they mean, because their actions and positions are totally at variance with genuine Christian values.

Those are certainly arguments to try to make at your state capitol. That's where the decisions will be made.
