It's totally fine if you believe that life starts at conception.
The thing that actually baffles me are the states that passed anti-abortion laws, but struggle to provide adequate health care, especially for those who are not financially stable.

I found this article, "States with more abortion restrictions have higher maternal and infant mortality", but feel free to correct or educate me on the topic.

Two reasons this falls apart:

  1. Abortion is healthcare. There are conditions that can’t be helped by anything else.
  2. They don’t give a shit about mortality rates because it’s someone else doing all the dying (until it’s not).
