Consider the plight of an unwed pregnant teenage girl who is denied the right to an abortion. She will be stigmatized for the rest of her life; the father suffers no such indignity. She may well be rejected by her family, abandoned, or even subjected to physical abuse. She has no guarantee of receiving the necessary medical care during her pregnancy. Giving birth comes with considerable medical risk. When the process is over, she will either have to deal with the pain of surrendering the child or accept severe constraints on her ability to develop her talents and make a living. It is a grim picture.
To which American reactionaries say . . . GOOD! Their ultimate objective is to eliminate, to the maximum extent possible, the freedom of women to engage in sex outside of marriage. To them, the struggles associated with pregnancy are the penalty for sin. Eliminating them would be a serious mistake.
While genuinely pro-life people actually do exist, they represent a small minority of the Republican Party. Barrett is clearly one of them, but once on the Supreme Court, she will effectively be a tool of the reactionaries, because they are the ones with the power in her party.
