I want to throw out there that I have never had an abortion and am not likely to get one in the future for non-emergency (nonviable fetus/I could die) reasons, but I am very likely to have a miscarriage and these bans put me at risk of insufficient care and criminalization.
My opinion as someone who has studied the history of abortion and whose first job out of university was at an OB/GYN clinic and as a Christian is that everyone who could potentially be pregnant is put at grave risk by bans on abortion. They are harbingers of death.

Hello, my name is Brooke, I am a historian of the 20th century, my great-great grandfather served in WWI, and I am enraged by WWI and you should be, too.
Now to be perfectly clear, I am a pacifist. I don't like war or using violence to resolve problems of any kind, but I will allow for there being causes in which military action is not a wholly bad idea (see: Nazis invading everywhere trying to kill/enslave everyone)
