Well, for the sake of what you were just saying about safety… think about the risks associated with induced miscarriage or the extraction, and then the risks associated with if that woman chooses to procreate down the line. I’d hate to sound crass, but people can’t just keep a vacuum handy because they don’t wanna use another form of contraception. It creates personal risks for the patient
This is not unethical. Subjecting somebody else to risks against their will can be unethical (such as forcing someone to be pregnant), but subjecting yourself to risk is fine (ethically, but may still be inadvisable).
, risks for the patient’s offspring if they choose to reproduce later in life,
Women do not owe future offspring a perfect uterus.
risks for the doctors and facilities in the form of liability… thus driving the healthcare industry further into a for-profit model.
This is such a stretch! You could say that about any somewhat risky activity, like skiing. Or intentionally having kids.
Obviously people should use protection (and it's probably not the woman objecting to the condom). I'm not advocating for anybody to use abortion as a primary means of birth control. It is riskier (even if it's pretty safe and hormonal birth control also has health risks), less effective (what if you don't realize in time or can't get treatment), more expensive, etc. But that's true of lots and lots of things that nobody would consider morally wrong, just silly.
You probably would if you were somewhere where it was prevalent. You don’t seem like someone that would generally be in the orbit of the kind of people referred to when speaking about abortions as contraception, because those kinds of people would wear on a level-headed person like you fairly quick.
That's a sweet sentiment and I'm sure they would wear on me, but not for the reasons you think. I had a couple friends who ended up with a kid because they had sex a few times, didn't get knocked up, so figured it was fine to keep doing it. Yes, it's frustrating! But the alternative to people like that having abortions is them having kids they don't want and probably won't properly care for, and that's much worse.
I have a very strong opinion supporting women’s rights, but I also have an equally strong disdain for those rights being, for lack of a better word, exploited. Look at that poor girl in Ohio or whatever Midwest state it was that had to go through all that shit to get an abortion after being raped… meanwhile, Becky from the club can just waltz right on in and get one because of the city/state she lives in… while Jennifer can’t even get pregnant and has been trying for years.
Becky having easy access to abortion isn't the problem there, and it has no effect on Jennifer's ability to get pregnant. The raped girl should have easy access to a safe abortion, but so should Becky who got knocked up being dumb at the club, and so should Jennifer in case she does get pregnant and it goes wrong.
I’ve unfortunately known quite a few women, who all had procedures done at the same facility, who all faced similar reproductive complications at different stages later in life, so I guess that can vary depending on accessibility and quality of treatment no different than dental work or anything else.
Are you sure the two things are related? Reproductive complications are common in general. Being poor (I'm guessing this is the case based on context, correct me if I'm wrong) will raise the odds of it due to environmental factors which negatively affect health in general. Most people don't talk about it, but I'm guessing women willing to share they've had an abortion are more likely to share that too, so it might just seem like it happens more to them.
