The cruelty is the point. They don’t care if the law creates hardship and misery for not only the mother but the child as well. That’s the goal. The resulting negative affects on society as a whole don’t have to be accounted for either – some of the negative effects can be squeezed directly into their propaganda, while others just benefit them directly, such as more cheap labor.
American society is practically built around externalizing as much societal needs as possible so that the system falling apart doesn’t compromise the wallets of the elite. You’d be surprised how profitable throwing millions of people outside the walls of affordable health care, housing, and education is for a certain few.
The fact that well-to-do people can just take a vacation and -their- fetus magically disappears and no one asks questions is a selling point, reassuring those already financially well off that the cudgel isn’t meant for them. It’s no more different than the IRS running on skeleton crews and being directed to target only the poor.

Not buying it. Creating life comes with responsibility (just as living it does)… and why there are consequences to ending it (murder).
Legitimately curious: “Countries with the most restrictive abortion laws have higher abortion rates.” Are you saying, Dr., that if there were less restrictive abortion laws, abortion rates would be lower, i.e. more babies would be born?
Actually no. And great question. The abortion rate dropped (in 2019) as low as it had been since since 1973, and yet birth rates were down also. That would mean that the drop in the numbers of abortions is in fact, not due to restrictive laws, but because of availability of effective contraception.
I apologize- the drop in the birth rate also likely relates to millennials and Gen Z astutely deciding that they may not want to bring large families into the modern world. I should not take credit for all of it.
You said it. Modern society has no concept of personal responsibility or accountability. Abortion is an “easy out” for that mindset. People without a moral compass will justify anything, this Dr is no different. What kind of society have we become that the most vunerable are the most unprotected.

Murder is murder no matter what your wallet holds!

Not sure if you’re trying to preserve a revenue stream for your practice or if you really think it’s all about the women.
Once you’re pregnant, it’s NOT all about you anymore. It’s about the child inside you and what’s best for them. Death is NOT best for them.
What a sick and perverse reality where an OB/GYN supports the murder of a child for any reason or no reason at all.
