    Risky abortions have been around since time immemorial. The coathanger arose during the 20th century as an alternative to poisoning one’s self with pennyroyal or ascorbic acid to induce a miscarriage.

    The point of modern abortions is they are safe, and in fact considerably safer than pregnancy. Our anti-abortion community wants to punish women for participating in sex, even when they do not consent, either by suffering through pregnancy or through a risky miscarriage.

    And their other policy positions reveal they have no actual interest in the welfare of the child.
