    As someone who is trying to have their first child through IVF, this stuff scares the shit out of me.

    Anti-abortion prevents births! Women aren’t going to want to risk getting pregnant if they don’t have that safety net if things go wrong.

    EDIT: I meant to say anti-abortion prevents births

        I know, but I have no choice. If we wait anymore we will be too old. Also testicular cancer gave me a low sperm count. Hence the IVF. And in 4 years I’m probably going to be shooting blanks.

          Oh absolutely, I’m not sure it’s possible for us to wait four years. The question will be are kids worth the risks when you have a country making proper healthcare illegal.

        I got my fallopian tubes removed the last time he got elected. Really really grateful to my past self, because I do not have health insurance this time around.

            I don’t have the energy to cite my sources right now, but I remember hearing that IUD procedures went up something wild like 900% right after the 2016 election. The stats are definitely out there somewhere.

            Be well, stay safe xx

      My wife and I are in the same boat. This will definitely lower the birth rate, which seems to be something these freaks care about a lot.
