Posted the study I found in the Op relating to abortion bans not leading to less abortions, globally

For him, the doctor should be treating the situation like there are 2 patients on board… From conception. I think that’s ridiculous myself, but even with that in mind, women are going to find ways to not have kids they don’t want. Hammering home with the data and statistics, that you’re just killing and causing pain, and you aren’t actually going to have less fetuses being aborted with total bans/more restrictive bans anyways, is I think how I will get to him.

If he can’t disprove the data and statistics I’m showing him that it leads to worse outcomes without accomplishing it’s actual goal, I think that is where I will be able to get him to see why the brains behind the pro life movement are so insidious. Ie, the Venn diagram of Christian nationalists and the pro life movement… Is pretty close to a circle.

I did not, thanks!!

Edit: ok, yeah this is exactly the kind of thing I was looking for. I KNEW the info was out there -.- have never bothered trying to go this far.

Yaaa I’ve done a good bit of googling and article reading, which confirmed my initial beliefs. Trying to focus on academic content at this point, will still give this a read however!

Same. 12 year mostly reddit lurker. I have x10 the posts and comments hear using Lemmy for a year :| once I’m working again I really need to set up a monthly donation for my server admin

Lemmy is def substantially higher quality content, commentary, and community as a whole compared to all the other popular social media I use. You made the right choice!!
