And so there are lives that are being saved because of pro-life laws and people who choose not to abort.

I mean, there was a feature piece on a young woman who was in Texas right after Dobbs v. Jackson and couldn't get the abortion because it was illegal now, so she had twins and

they painted the picture as a very dire one.

And it was like, wait, she had these beautiful twins, you know, and they have their whole life in front of them.

So that we could celebrate that.

But the point is pro-life laws absolutely do prevent abortions.

And I think, you know, if there is abortion provided as effectively backup contraception, that's how it's used today.

And I think we should be very realistic about that.

50% of women who have abortions are using contraception

when they get pregnant, the month that they get pregnant.

And the idea that contraception is going to save lives ultimately somehow because it's going to prevent abortions.

No, it's created this mindset that, again, sex is not for marriage and ultimately to be open to life.

It can be for pleasure and you can just use abortion as a backup contraception.

You can change the mindset, and we've seen this after Dobbs,

We saw huge social media campaigns for people saying, you know, now we're going to be abstinent because we can't basically use abortion as backup contraception.

I mean, that's what it was.

They didn't say that, you know, the quiet part out loud, but that's what it was.

So when we're talking about direct and intentional taking of an innocent life, there's no exception.

That can be just.

And this is highly controversial for some because we've been trained to think that abortion is somehow medically necessary.
