And having to pay for an abortion is a natural consequence of unwanted pregnancy.Being fingered is not a natural consequence of a blowjob. Pregnancy is a natural consequence of sex.
Oh you can see exactly how much of a shitshow it is in countries that heavily restrict or completely ban abortion like most of central and south America, Malta, a good chunk of Africa, Ireland until a few years ago, communist Romania, etc. Of course abortion still happens in those places and charities like Women on the Web do everything they can to get pills to women and girls in those countries so they can have a safe abortion, but you hear about all kinds of horror stories like child rape victims being forced to gestate and birth the spawn of their rapists (and sometimes dying in the process), women dying of sepsis because doctors weren't legally allowed to yeet their dying, rotting fetuses, women being imprisoned for having miscarriages, women dying from dangerous makeshift abortions, poor teen girls commiting suicide because they got pregnant and have no way to safely abort, and tons of other horrific shit.This is pretty much were most pro-life arguements collapse for me, no convinction or willingness to deal with the fallout. Even with abortions orphans have it rough, god only know how much of shit show it'd be if every junkie and rape victim had to bring to term.
Though I highly suspect to lots of prolifers horrible ass shit like women dying is a feature, not a bug because they really just hate women and want to use forced pregnancy to punish them for having sex. A lot will straight up admit they think women who die deserve it, pretty sure I've seen people ITT say that. Which is another thing that shows they really don't mean all life, just embryos and fetuses.
One thing I still don't get about US prolifers though is why they don't just move to one of the many countries that heavily restricts or completely bans abortion. If you want to live somewhere abortion isn't legal, you can just move to a country it isn't. Pretty much all of those countries are Abrahamic theocracies as well, which you'd think would also be appealing to fundies. Why live in the US with it's explicitly secular government and abortion access when you can move to a prolife, Christian nation like El Salvador or Poland?
It's almost like they know those countries are oppressive shitholes that suck to live in
