Now Appearing In Non-Sequitur Theater

Shorter K-Lo: If feminists were serious about women’s rights, they would obviously want women to be subject to a bewildering, irrational, and inequitable obstacle course studded with scientifically inaccurate nanny-state propaganda before they choose to obtain an abortion.

Obviously, to people who support women’s rights, or (to bring up a concept wholly alien to most American pro-lifers) actually believe that women are capable of being responsible moral agents, the news that chemical abortions performed at home are safe is obviously terrific news. It would wonderful if women had broader access to abortion, and could choose medical care based on their own needs rather than based on state coercion that was intended to obstruct their rights rather than to protect their health and liberty, and geographic inequities in abortion access will be greatly reduced. Should these technologies continue to develop (and approved by a Democratic administration) this will be also crucial means for women to retain their rights in light of a Throw-Roe-From-The-Caboose strategy: illogical regulations will mean less if women don’t have to obtain abortions from clinics. (This also explains the war against the perfectly safe RU-486: maintaining the state’s dominion over the uterus makes it crucial to prevent the option from becoming available.)
