Regarding your comment, "But don't pretend that it's in any way 'progressive' to be calling for the restriction of women's right to health care (which is what abortion is)."
I've never had an abortion myself, but I know many women who have. Their stories are all different, but they all have one thing in common: they hated the experience, and they wish they hadn't done it.
Should we just tell them to shut up and warn them not to rock the boat of Progress?
They were told they wouldn't experience any long-term consequences, but how does that explain their emotional distress? What about their need for "health care" now?
I don't see how the health interests of women are served by refusing to even discuss the possibility that abortion may not be good for them.
