The pure glee on these women’s faces over the prospect of aborting on the precipice of birth seems sadistic.

What’s next, adult children ecstatic to be able to end the burdens associated with caring about aged parents?

There is a Right Way and a Wrong Way to reduce the number of abortions...without involving government coercion against women...a) make contraception widely and easily available...b) fund sex/sexuality education for all ages...c) fund programs that make it palpable for women to carry unwanted pregnancies to term...but make abortion legal for the ~6 million U.S. women, who at any point in their reproductive lives have experienced a forced or coerced pregnancy that they never wanted...or a medical emergency during pregnancy, like the Dentist in Ireland faced.

It bares repeating...prior to Roe v Wade, hundreds of thousands of Back-Alley, or Self-Induced abortions took place in the U.S., causing great harm...and far too many maternal deaths...especially to low income women who couldn't afford to travel. So, it's clear that making abortion illegal is Unenforceable and Unfair...and, never gets to dealing with the Root Cause...i.e. Unwanted Pregnancies.

This is what the women are cheering about...lifting the burden that the Dobbs decision placed on them.

This is about women being resentful of the responsibilities of motherhood.

government restrictions. That event shocked the nation into facing REALITY. Just to drive it home to you and any others...here's the excerpt from the linked article dealing with the tragedy...

-------------------
In 2012, Savita Halappanavar, age 31 and 17 weeks pregnant, went to a hospital in Galway, Ireland. Doctors there determined that she was having a miscarriage. However, because the fetus still had a detectable heartbeat, it was protected by the Eighth Amendment. Doctors could not intervene – in legal terms, ending its life – even to save the mother. So she was admitted to the hospital for pain management while awaiting the miscarriage to progress naturally.

Over the course of three days, as her pain increased and signs of infection grew, she and her husband pleaded with hospital officials to terminate the pregnancy because of the health risk. The request was denied because the fetus still had a heartbeat.

By the time the fetal heartbeat could no longer be detected, Halappanavar had developed a massive infection in her uterus, which spread to her blood. After suffering organ failure and four days in intensive care, she died.

This was likely not the only time someone had suffered, or even died, as a result of being denied abortion in Ireland. But the publicity surrounding the case prompted a new wave of activism aimed at repealing the Eighth Amendment. In 2013, the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Act was signed into law, which did not fully repeal the Eighth Amendment but legalized abortions that would protect the mother's life.

It is estimated that about 170,000 people traveled from Ireland to seek a legal abortion between 1980 and 2018.

In 2018, a referendum repealing the Eighth Amendment passed overwhelmingly by a margin of 66% to 34%. As a result of the repeal, legal abortions are now allowed during the first trimester, with costs covered by the public health service.
