And now, we’re going to force a lot of women who agree that they have no business having kids, to have kids.

Would it be nice if they’d had the forethought, budget and/or power in their relationships to reliably use birth control? Yes, and not just because of unwanted kids, but because their lives would be all around better. When I say “budget,” I don’t just mean the direct cost of birth control, but all the stuff around it, like doctor’s appointments to get and maintain the prescription.

But those things don’t line up for a lot of women in America, and now we’ve taken away the main safety valve. Few of them can afford to fly to friendlier states on short notice - they’re often in the kind of jobs where you can’t just call in sick for a few days and expect to have a job to go back to.

Gonna be a fun next 20+ years.
