Recently I’ve read that Congress is planning on criminalizing having an abortion. If lawmakers have their way, anyone who has an abortion will be sent to jail. I’ve thought about this and have come to an interesting conclusion.
First, women who don’t want to get pregnant these days have many options to prevent it. I presume most women use at least one of these preventive means. Thus, if the woman does get pregnant, it means the contraception did not work. Contraceptives have a disclaimer — 95 percent effective, 99 percent effective, etc., so the companies that make contraceptives are off the hook.
