You are incredibly ignorant and incredibly wrong. Care to share where your knowledge of pregnancy and abortion comes from? I’m going to take a wild guess you don’t work in maternity - handily enough I do.

Abortion absolutely is healthcare. Do you know even remotely what you’re talking about it? Do you know abortifacients are used when a miscarriage does not happen fully, when there’s an ectopic or extra uterine pregnancy, when a pregnancy cannot be continued for maternal or foetal medical reasons?

Do you understand the risks to a woman’s life and long term health where pregnancy is concerned, especially a complex or high risk pregnancy?

Do you know that abortion laws in some states are preventing doctors from treating women with intrauterine death, risk of sepsis, women who need chemotherapy or urgent abdominal surgery or other conditions not compatible with continuing pregnancy, or extremely early labour well before the point of viability even though those babies cannot survive?

Are you saying that 98% of pregnancies are consensual and planned? If so, there wouldn’t be much call for abortion would there, aside from termination for medical reasons, so why restrict it? Obviously you’re absolutely incorrect on that point, of course - but we can get into a discussion on how pregnancy occurs and therefore who is in control of that if you like.

It’s entirely disingenuous to say that the reasons are not religious, as you well know.

>95% of the time women do not get pregnant without having already exercised their bodily autonomy. The choice already happened.

Abortion is not healthcare. It can't be, by definition, because it literally destroys life. This is a known fact of science, so please don't try and argue with it.

These limitations are not coming from religious reasons though. The Supreme Court explained why Roe v Wade was wrong in the first place and why they overturned it and none of this is necessarily about religious reasons. The limitations came from Constitutional reasons, which is what the Court is supposed to do.

That's why I'm arguing that nobody is restricting rights for religious reasons, because they're not.

Duke University is considered an elite university. Stanford is also considered a very elite university: perhaps top-3 and one of the very best. They are also both private, expensive universities. It would make sense that they are trying to out-do each other with expensive research leading to esoteric scientific findings.

University of Wisconsin is a public institution and is considered less elite. It is also often considered more of a "party school." So the joke is that they spent hardly any money at all on their study and that their research findings were more crude.

It's a basically a joke about elite vs. "common man" with the implied point being being that the common man approach is often more practical and correct (to humorous effect).
