>Serious question- my understanding is that when Americans say "reproductive rights" that's a euphemism for easy access to elective abortions for unwanted pregnancies. Banning abortion in practice leads to banning miscarriages that might have been abortions. It leads to doctors being afraid to ask if you're pregnant and afraid to do any procedures for fear of accidentally inducing a miscarriage and thus running afoul of the anti-abortion laws. Also, abortion laws are set to cause problems for in-vitro fertilization, too (which tends to produce excess viable fertilized eggs, and disposing of said excess eggs could legally be considered an abortion). In other words, it is legally dangerous for a woman to get pregnant in an anti-abortion state.
