Maybe I should clarify that a bit:
Before Roe v. Wade, abortions were illegal...and far more risky than they are now.
If Roe v. Wade is overturned, quite a few may turn back to those back-alley solutions and avoid professional medical consultations that may convince them that abortion may not necessarily be the answer.
It is better, to my thinking at least, to ask "Have you thought of this instead?" than to say "You can't do that. I forbid it." I don't know about anyone else for certain, but that second line would tend to push me in the general direction of the proscribed activity out of sheer reflexive spite.
Now with the wisdom of years I try to reason things out And the only people I fear are those who never have doubts Save us all from arrogant men, and all the causes they're for I won't be righteous again I'm not that sure anymore Billy Joel - Shades of Grey
