Oh fuck you, stop lying. The vast majority of Americans agree on reasonable abortion restrictions.
"When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters."
These two women would have been able to access abortion services much earlier in the pregnancy, if they were in Europe instead of Oklahoma. This case is the kind of thing that restricting access to legal abortion early in pregnancies causes. This is the fault of the Oklahoma abortion bans

Stop lying. The massive, coordinated effort to outlaw gender affirming medical care is so much more than "a couple people feel squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room."
benefits and protections generally reserved for females
Oh I thought it was just a couple random people getting squicky about trans ladies using the ladies room? So you admit that it's an organized effort. I don't think I've ever seen someone move their goalposts in the wrong direction before lmao
Outlawing gender affirming medical care has zero impact on sports, you willful liar. No, the truth is that the people behind this movement are targeting trans people because they're the most convenient vulnerable group to rally hateful bigots around right now. Gay people are acceptable, the dog caught the car on the abortion "debate," and they need a new boogeyman to leverage to whip votes
