Blue states now murder babies up until birth, yet lefties STILL CRY.
The abortion issue is fake. It is just pushing communism.
Because the only abortions Dobbs is stopping are the ones that are medically necessary.
Abortion bans are failing.

Though overall rates have increased, there is one type of abortion that has become more difficult to access than ever before: abortions for medical reasons. Since
Dobbs,
horror stories of women dying, nearly dying, or birthing dying children have been reported on a regular basis in states with abortion bans. We know that these bans are increasing maternal mortality and morbidity, and
at least six women have already died because of them.

Last month, Guttmacher—one of the organizations tracking abortion numbers in the United States—released its
complete 2025 report. The paper was consistent with previous findings: Abortion rates have
increased nationwide since the Supreme Court overturned
Roe v. Wade in
Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
This finding is consistent with the #WeCount data from the Society for Family Planning, the other organization tracking U.S. abortions. In fact, the SFP numbers get even more granular, showing that when one accounts for abortion travel and mailed medication abortion,
abortion rates have increased in all but two states that have banned abortion.

In short, the only abortions that bans seem to be stopping are those that are medically indicated.
Though people predicted a massive reduction in the rate of abortion after
Roe, the abortion rights movement responded with
resilience and innovation. Abortion funds and logistics coordinators
helped people travel for care. And blue-state legislators
passed shield laws to assist those who couldn’t travel. Under these laws, providers are using telehealth and mailed medication abortion to ensure that those living in ban states can still get the health care they need. As a result, most people who need abortion in red states can access it through travel or mailed pills.
This doesn’t make abortion bans harmless. It is unjust and cruel to force people to flee their homes, hide their abortions, or endure legal risks to access
health care recognized as a human right. But this result does strongly suggest that bans are failing at their most basic aim: saving fetal life.
