The left keeps promoting the idea that the only abortions that happen are 100% driven by pregnant women themselves who make that decision for themselves and have no pressure from anyone outside of themselves.

That is not at all accurate.

Significant others, former sexual partners, parents, doctors/healthcare providers, even insurance companies… immense pressure, more often than not, comes from outside of these women who are bullied into believing that bearing a child in less than optimal circumstances is a deal breaker in their ability to be mothers.

Remove these influences from being able to apply the pressure of an abortion when it’s easily accessible, and more children will be born.

It’s not so much that the women themselves are making the loudest noises o n this isssue, it’s the ones who want to be able to say who should and who should not have babies.

Women have always had the power to decide for themselves and will continue to. The ones who are losing are those who would seek to influence her for their own agendas and pretend to support abortion rights for her benefit.

It’s not for her benefit… it’s for theirs.

more children will be born

And that’s ALL that the MTKintsugis of the world care about.

It’s not so much that the women themselves are making the loudest noises on this issue, it’s the ones who want to be able to say that it’s a baby in the womb from right after fertilization and that every sperm is sacred.

They are the ones who would seek to influence her for their own agendas and pretend to oppose abortion rights for her benefit.

It’s not for her benefit…it’s for theirs.

Sure, some people might be pressured into it. That doesn't mean we should remove everyone's right to make that choice. And why do you want more children born into less than optimal circumstances when it would be better for everyone to just wait until the circumstances are better?

Also, if your doctor recommends an abortion, there's probably a damn good reason for that.

While peer pressure exists, the way you are describing it is a kind of conspiracy theory. It's also irrelevant in relation to human rights and pro-choice. Precisely because choice is allowing the woman to make the choice, no matter if peer pressure is to keep or not. Moreover, there are more important issues, including medical, if a law gets in the way of common sense and criminalizes it. Especially when the reason is religious, something that should not be imposed on a state and is unconstitutional.

".. abortions that happen are 100% driven by pregnant women themselves who make that decision for themselves and have no pressure from anyone outside of themselves.”

I’ve never seen anyone drive this narrative. This is more of a GOAL. That women make the decision for themselves.
And i would not say the left wants them totally isolated in this decision. Certainly the doc should be involved. MAYBE the father. Maybe her family. Her confessor. Her rabbi.

Not congress.
Not a church she doesn’t belong to.
Not terribly judgmental assholes who only want to be able to tell God they put a million notches in the baby-stick (but really hope He doesn’t ask, “And what happened to them?”).

The liberals keeps promoting the idea that the only drinking that happens are 100% driven by drinkers themselves who make that decision for themselves and have no pressure from anyone outside of themselves.
That is not at all accurate.
Social pressure is a major cause in the consumption of alcohol. Religious rituals, friends and romantic partners, and psychological dependency all lead people to drink who otherwise would not. Bullying with accusations of cowardice is a common sight in fraternities and bars.
Remove these influences from being able to apply the pressure to drink when it’s easily accessible, and there will be far fewer alcoholics in the world.
It’s not so much that the people themselves are making the loudest noises on this issue, it’s the entrenched business interests who sell the poison who are pushing it.
People have always had the ability to acquire alcohol if they really want it. All you need is bread yeast, sugar, and water. The ability to buy alcohol off the shelf is not for our benefit. It’s for Anheuser-Busch.

You don’t get to pretend that you aren’t taking away personal liberty just because peer pressure and business interests exist. People almost always consider the opinions of others when they make their choices, because that’s what being a social animals means. And businesses will find a way to make money on almost anything that people are willing to buy, or if they can’t, they’ll find a way to make money off it indirectly.
