I've been chewing on a thing and I want to write about it a bit but I need to, sadly, expose my object level beliefs in advance so that I am really clearly understood at the meta. I do not have strong feelings about abortion policy, apart from a very hard preference . . .
Even in a dramatic case of abortion being outlawed nationally, most bad outcomes (vs status quo ante) could and probably would be averted by behavioral adaptation. Contrast w other policies that definitely kill lots of people that are not similarly opposed by hard prochoice folx

An examination of the historical record does not bear out the idea that behavioral adaptation significantly reduced abortions sought/performed, only increased the number of deaths as a sequelae to same.
