Poll of the Day

For those that suck at nuance, abortion bans and the like don't literally force women to be pregnant against their will, no (though if there aren't appropriate provisions for emergency contraception or abortions in the case of rape, that's functionally the same thing), but they do force women to endure a higher risk of pregnancy than they would otherwise need to face for a given level of sexual activity. Essentially, they amount to the government threatening women with pregnancy/childbirth they can't escape if they don't change their lifestyles, which is quite unambiguously authoritarian.

Is that literally "the government forcing women to become pregnant"? No. Is there any reason to make the distinction outside of masturbatory pedantry and/or pro-life/misogynist trolling? Also no.
