There's no telling where bans on abortion will lead, how far new laws will extend

First abortion bans, then birth control. Then employment discrimination based on pregnancy and later, having "small children at home".

And/Or first abortion bans, then forced conception and birth. State steps in and determines whether you can KEEP the child you were forced to carry and to give birth to. Maybe no single mothers. Maybe denial of welfare support, making you too poor to care for that unplanned child and child protection deems you "neglecting" that child.

Or you are forced to carry and give birth to an unplanned child. You want your gay brother and his partner to adopt that child, but your state has outlawed gay adoption.
