What do you think when you see this quote

“All those who can get pregnant, whether or not they think they will ever want or need an abortion will be affected.”

Personally I would never get an abortion unless I medically need to do so. But, I do believe that every woman has a right in what to do with their body and it’s not my job to dictate on if it’s right or if it’s wrong. It’s really not anybody’s job to decide but woman. I think all woman are affected by this because it’s the government telling woman what they can and can’t do with their own bodies. The government shouldn’t be able to tell us what is wrong and what is right. Especially based on the “bible”. We need to separate church and state. Not everyone is religious, not everyone follows the same religion.

Answer:

It is probable that the statement was alluding to the fact that prohibitions on procuring abortions can have an effect on everyone who has the potential to conceive, irrespective of their personal opinions or plans regarding the procedure. Those who do not consider having the operation may still be affected if the practice is banned in their society or nation. This can involve hindrances to obtaining contraception, limited choices for medical care during pregnancy, and potential adverse effects on reproductive autonomy and health.
