Stock talking point - demand numbers that aren't available. The ban is recent enough that we don't have numbers for post ban PBAs.
The key point is that a barbaric and horrific practice has been halted.
In which case, one would think that humility and intellectual honesty would prevent you from making sweeping claims regarding the effect a President has on the # of abortions taking place, and concede the point of people who say this effect is marginal, at best, as I did earlier in this thread.
The key point is that a barbaric and horrific practice has been halted.
To what extent was it even actually occurring? And/or to what extent are the people who might have gotten PBAs (if there are any) simply having "regular" abortions now, making the actual effect nil (at least if it's the act of abortion, and not the type, that you care about)? Since you have no data, as you've admitted, the answer is "you don't know". So what's your point?
Suppose I enact a ban on killing people by putting them in a spaceship and ramming it into an approaching comet. A barbaric practice, to be sure. Do I get to boast that I saved lives, and that I "halted" a barbaric practice?
