States should not automatically outlaw abortions

Mississippi today decided that in the event that Roe v. Wade became overturned, the state would not allow abortions for any reason other than rape or when it endangers the health of the mother. It does not have a provision for rape or incest.
This is so disgusting to see, that states are now writing laws in case the Supreme Court overturns that law. I find it sickening to think that the majority of people in politics who make this decision are men, people who will never have to worry about getting pregnant.
But no matter what the law saws, women are always going to get abortions, legal or not. It was seen in the days before the court decision with women getting abortions with hangers. The dangers of hanging abortions were one reason why the court thought it was safer to have doctors providing abortions.
Well, they are right. If abortions are going to take place, then medical professionals should be overseeing them and not some person on the street who has done one or two of them before.
If women start having backdoor abortions again, then more women are going to start to get infections, get really sick and possibly die from them. States that are outlawing abortions should maybe think about this instead of what they think their “good Christian values,” say to them.
