I’d like to band somebody else’s head against the wall.

Nah. The bruise that’s there now would only get bigger.

Personally, I thought the ban was useless both times. It would have cost us a ton, but prevented approximately ZERO abortions.
The money spent pushing/fighting the bans, plus any potential legal fees from a court battle could be used to fund things that actually prevent unplanned pegnancies and abortions – like good sex-ed, cheap contraception, and fighting to change adoption laws.
The backers of the ban were willing to spend millions of tax dollars fighting the supreme court just to potentially save one baby from being aborted, but I doubt they’d be so generous about funding the things I mentioned -even though it’s proven that they actually reduce the need for abortion.

I think you are right – You either on one side of the fence or the other.

I was a little surprised at the numbers this time too. Talking with people this time around, I think several were worried about the troubles the mother would have to go through to prove that she was indeed raped or molested. Many don’t think it would be fair to the mother to put her through the court system and possibly subject her to a long-drawn out deal for something that should be her right medically and was completely against her will. At least if it was completely illegal, women would have their answer, raped or not. Truth be told, I don’t think many cared for the exceptions. It was either all or none.
