[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe it's because I spent many years in a progressive EU country where abortion is restricted to the first trimester without much ado or angst, I really can't bring myself to care too much. Most of you live in states where abortion will continue to be legal. It does seem to be the compromise way forward. Red states restrict abortion, making them happy. Blue states keep abortion legal to the last day, making them happy. [/quote]

It's convenient how you're ignoring the fact that in progressive EU countries, abortions are covered as healthcare, abortion providers are far more accessible than they are in most of the U.S., and there are far fewer legal hurdles to obtaining first-trimester abortions in the U.S.  And after the first trimester, the requirements for getting a medically necessary abortion are much lower than in the U.S.  If healthcare in the U.S. looked anything like it does in progressive EU countries, this would largely be a non-issue here too.

Also, even though I live in a state where abortion will continue to be legal, I actually give a damn about people other than myself and therefore actually give a damn about all of the women in red states who didn't vote for this but will suffer the consequences.

You should try giving a damn about people other than yourself sometime.  It's not as easy as caring only about yourself, but you'll be a much better person for it.[/quote]
