North Dakota Senate passes bill banning most abortions as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy

13. Welcome to DU and glad you found our pro-choice forum. It is infuriating to hear young women and men

say "oh, it's not so bad, just go to another state" and the like. I was a teen when CA and NY were the only places to get legal abortions, unwed mothers homes were common, people ended up marrying the wrong sort (yes, it is easy to have hormonal driven sex with someone you think you love and find later that it is a very bad situation and not a good recipe for a long term relationship).

Women and girls had bad infections and died. "just say no to sex" is crap. Yes, take responsibility for your actions but having worked for a long time in women's/reproductive health, there are so many reasons people get abortions. It isn't that simple. And placing restriction after restriction to block them, excuse me, to "make sure they've thought it through" is bullshit. Total bullshit.

Welcome to DU, glad to have you here.
