Don't you think that anti choice voters assume that they will get around

the law?

We have posts on telling anti choice voters things like, what if it's your kid, and it'll cost so much in child support, but I'm of the opinion that most anti choice voters have, at one time, considered that "in an emergency" their kid or their girlfriend or their wife or themselves would be able to obtain a safe, LEGAL abortion.

After all, where do most people in South Dakota live? A stone's throw away from Minnesota. Even Canada isn't that far. And there's no penalty for anyone if the woman just heads off east for a day or two and gets an abortion in a legal state.

Worse comes to worst, London is a six hundred dollar round trip.

That's why I think arguing about how much it's going to cost isn't going to change minds. I'm not sure the anti choice voters agree that there's really going to be a huge difference in live births, except among those too poor and isolated to get out of SD for an abortion, and it might be by design. As for the poor and isolated, the anti choice voter is perfectly happy for them to die right out there, out of sight, out of mind poor people and their kids.

1. No, they're just in a haze of self righteousness and deny

that their perfect lives will ever be disturbed by a need for an abortion, early or late term.
