You're talking about abortion then? My friend is a Catholic, so I'm not sure he approves abortions anyway. Also, are you sure your statement is not exaggerated? IANAL, but superficial googling shows that preserving life, and bodily functions impairment is under exemptions.

But in any case, this looks like a very activist thing. In general economy always beats this kind of argument. Objectively, there are no cases where workforce migration happened to an abortion-approving areas with less opportunities.

Imagine being someone going through that, and then having to deal with this nonsense.

There it is, the conservative game, recast everything as their hot-button issue and claim you're their enemy and all wrong.

The country under discussion has always had a large population opposed to abortion. Gradual changes to the Supreme Court have given that population more influence.

Redefined 'abortion' to mean something particular to a dogma. To score their imaginary points with their imaginary being. And to control women.
