That's a bit hard when the state makes it illegal to assist anyone seeking an abortion. But yes planned parenthood will help and other organizations will do what they can as well as states that have created a safe harbor to protect the woman from prosecution or arrest. These efforts will help only a bit. It will be up to the woman to get hold of abortion pills in time or get to another state that will help her.
I'm not an abortion enthusiast. I hate abortions and the reasons why women seek them. However, like the majority of people in the US, I hate even more having the government force women to bear unwanted children.
The research is clear: Restricting access to abortion doesn’t just harm women — it harms their children as well. It has a negative impact on her life and the lives of her children. Among women who are forced to bear unwanted children,
more than 90 percent choose to keep and raise the child rather than place it up for adoption. Although some say that's great, the evidence suggest that it may not be what is best for child.
Aside from the problem of having an unwanted mouth to feed, the mother is likely to have problems bonding with her child which occurs during the first 12 months after birth. It can be overcome by mothers who really love their child but that is not typically the case with the unwanted child. When there is no bonding between mother and child, typically an attachment disorder occurs and the child will have problems forming permanent relationships which leads to all kinds development problems.
Given a choice between savings a fetus and saving a mother and child I will chose the latter every time.
Women who are denied abortions face diminished opportunities to achieve other life goals, gain secure financial footing, and have a child or children she can support and cherish.
