Wow, I jumped here from a fic and I'm so glad I did. This is exactly what everyone on both sides should be hearing. Everything is just so spot on. Abortions have always happened. Criminalizing it does not decrease the rate. And above all the issue is 'how can we help?' not 'should they be punished?'

Thank you for writing this, and thank you for having the courage to publish it. The world is the better for it.
