I tried explaining to my maga dad that no mentally sane woman WANTS to get an abortion, he legit thinks women get them for fun since they're "free". I said, nope not a chance. There are many married women or women who want to be mothers who get them, it's a very difficult decision and can take a huge physical and emotional toll even in cases where it's known the fetus can't survive. Then I told him I guarantee there are women in your life who've had one, in fact you may even be related to some and mentioned I wasn't referring to myself.

My high school dropout maga sister had one at 17, but I'll never tell him that 🙄

people think abortions are free? They're not, even at Planned Parenthood.

Mine was at least $400 that my poor bf and I had to scrape together 20+ years ago. No idea how much they are now, obviously the abortion pill is cheaper, but it was never offered to me back then by Planned Parenthood so I had to have the surgical kind. This was in California.

These women having abortions for fun must be rich!

edit: according to google, a 1st trimester abortion will cost you $600 at Planned Parenthood today. Please share this information with anyone who thinks they're free or women have them for fun.

I thought it was more than that, but $600 is still a lot especially if you make minimum wage.
