    it’s actually saying that power to the states isn’t as bad as people thought it would be.

    Is that because you didn’t read the article or are you having difficulty interpreting the data?

    The women in the states that banned abortions are getting them by travel to states where abortion isn’t banned. How would that work against Democrats that champion the idea of a woman’s ability to chose what to do with their own bodies? Do you think that the women that traveled to another state preferred the travel to getting treatment in their own state?

    Other articles point out other massive detriments to abortion restrictions, like mothers dying from childbirth 62% higher in states with abortion bans. source.

    “To compare maternal death rates (deaths during pregnancy, at birth, or within 42 days of birth) in states with abortion bans or restrictions to those without, we examined the most recent three years of data.7 We found that maternal death rates were 62 percent higher in 2020 in abortion-restriction states than in abortion-access states (28.8 vs. 17.8 per 100,000 births). Notably, across the three years presented in Exhibit 4, the maternal mortality rate was increasing nearly twice as fast in states with abortion restrictions.”

    So pro-force-birth folks are successful in killing more mothers. Great success?

    How does any of this play worse for Democrats wanting the right for a woman to choose?
