Reply to comment by Open_Veins_8 in Pennsylvania Abortion Clinics Are Seeing an Influx of Out-of-State Patients Seeking Abortion Care by Open_Veins_8
But those are projections and not actual numbers. The only actual number quoted was 195

195 is the number of abortions performed for people traveling from out of state since July. 8,500 is the projection of abortion related visits in 2023 based on them having 4,300 actual abortion related visits since July. Abortion related visits counts things like virtual health visits where a patient receives abortion counseling from a Pennsylvania doctor because the doctors in their states legally are not allowed to give them any counseling/recommendations whatsoever.
Of course the number of abortion procedures performed on out of state patients is much lower, which is also compounded by the fact that even though Pennsylvania has better abortion access than a lot of its neighboring states to the west and south, PA still has draconian abortion laws like the doctor being required to read you some long winded bullshit from the state that discourages you having an abortion, and a required 24 hour waiting period between the visit and the procedure (a lot of people can’t afford to take the time off). States to the east of us don’t have these restrictions so a lot of people who have the means to travel are able to go the extra mile to avoid all that.

Maybe they should go the extra mile to be a responsible human being by choosing life?

Your fucking people actively degrade the quality of life in any society you infect, but nag to bring more people into it. Less and less are buying your bad faith tactics.

Fewer and fewer. People are countable.

As enticing as it sounds to argue back and forth regarding the sanctity of life with you, I believe you will only bring forth vitriolic emotion as already stated by your choice of language. Please, start your day off right by thanking your mother for her choice in you.

If your people also supported sex education, wasn't attacking ALL birth control, on top of attacking school lunches, making up crt bullshit to ban all manner of books, and siding with theocratic fascist, then people might even believe you're pro life and not just pro fetus. You gqp voters unasked yourselves years ago and deserve to be powerless at minimum.

It's only an extra millimeter to advocate respect and dignity for all humans and their choices.
