This is not good logic.

If the government announced tomorrow they will pick 5 people a year at random to be executed for no reason, it would also be at the top of all the news, despite being many fewer deaths than vehicle related injuries.

It’s at the top of the news because it is easily preventable, yet some choose to let people die anyway.

This is basically the police execution - sorry, "officer involved shooting" policy.

With the abortion thing, it’s not pick people completely at random - It’s arbitrarily pick x number of women, of child bearing age, at random and make them die or suffer grievously.

I don’t think the predominantly male lawmakers in those states would have made the same choices had it been men not women who would be affected.
