> Abortion isn’t 0 or 1, legal or not legal.
As others have already pointed out below, and I already mentioned, over half of states are ready to enact total bans. The repeal of Roe doesn't make abortion illegal, but it does make a _ban_ on abortion legal, which is exactly what is happening.

This isn't an issue where you can sit back and contemplate it as some abstract exercise of democracy. So many women will die, or be persecuted during that 10-20 year span you mention and it is completely needless. No one should be adopting a "it'll all work out in the end" mindset.
Yeah, except you are taking a political or moral stance right there, so it’s not fair to the rest of the population. Many people believe you are saving many lives in those 10-20 years.
