Closing Planned Parenthood clinics will cause abortion rates to soar, but now they’ll be illegal and unsafe. It’s not like we don’t know what will happen — just like in the 1950s, the rich will be able to get their abortions in blue states, from private specialists, or Switzerland; while the poor will die in back alleys. It’s already happening in Texas — though abortion can be perfectly safe, they’re forced to cross the border and pick up risky medicines at Mexican pharmacies. All because one party has decided that the health of women is irrelevant, only political power matters.
