Is a reversal of Roe v Wade decision next?

Setting emotional arguments such as "killing babies" aside, the states most likeley to ban abortion, some of whom discuss banning a pregnant woman from taking her uterus across state borders, are apparently oblivious to the death and misery spiral of their policies.

States With Abortion Bans Are Among Least Supportive for Mothers and Children (Published 2022)

They tend to have the weakest social services and the worst results in several categories of health and well-being.

How Women and Children Fare
States hostile to abortion fare worse on a variety of health and well-being outcomes, while states supportive of abortion rights tend to have a more generous social safety net.

Infant mortality
Deaths per 1,000 live births		6.34.7
Maternal mortality
Deaths per 100,000 live births		25.215.0
look at that last one. 10% higher rates of mothers dying during delivery. Compared to pro choice states, a woman giving birth in an anti abortion state is 67% more likely to die during delivery.


Then note the 2% higher rate of infant mortality. Again, compared to pro-choice states, infant mortality is 34% more likely in an anti abortion state.

My guess is a big driver of this carnage is found in the much higher teen births that occur in anti abortion states.

@TankHankerous, in this thread, talked about the sanctity of life. I mention that poster as an example, not to call them out. Theirs is a subjective, neo-Christian, morality-laden argument but I'll leave the imposition of their belief on others alone for the moment. I'll just point out that banning abortion is going to cause death and misery to spiral upward and these sanctimonious Christians aren't prepared for it. So I call BS on their concern for human life.

For the record I think women should have the right to vote, but it's not something we should encourage

He sounds a lot like Bugeye did before he was banned. Especially the sanctimonious reference to "friend" when there is no hope of ever being a friend to somebody who says what he does.

I used sanctity, a similar word to sanctimonious in earlier in this very thread. Shame on you for your lack of self awareness at being subliminally influenced by me and your current use of the word. The irony is rich!
