Speaking as a woman who can't legally obtain an abortion without travelling abroad unless having a baby will kill her, or unless there is a high chance she'll commit suicide if forced to continue with the pregnancy, it's all very well for you to sit and pontificate about the dangers of assuming bad faith on behalf of your idealogical opponents. You will not have your right to bodily autonomy effectively terminated, reduced to the status of an incubator, should you find yourself expecting a child. It's difficult to go "oh well I don't agree but they probably think they're doing good" when the other side's belief system is a) so toxic and harmful to your gender, b) shaping legislation to further erode not only the right to an abortion, but the right to contraception too. Specifically those forms of contraception available exclusively to women.
