    “The answer is not more abortion, but more compassion, responsibility, and real support for women and families.”

    …which is why we’re going to throw her in prison for the rest of her life! We’re just that compassionate

    outside of Lexington

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abortion_law_in_the_United_States_by_state

    You could have crossed state lines into Virginia, 120 miles away, and been outside of Kentucky jurisdiction, and abortions inclusive of second-trimester would be legal.

    170 miles would reach Michigan, where abortions at any stage are legal.

    “The answer is not more abortion, but more compassion, responsibility, and real support for women and families.”

    The answer is to just exit Kentucky’s jurisdiction and do whatever you want, because Kentucky doesn’t have any say as to what residents of Kentucky do outside Kentucky’s borders. You promptly go from “facing life sentence or execution” to “peachy keen, knock yourself out”.

            Women get unwanted pregnancies by not being educated or misinformed about how sex works, so sure, educate everyone in Sex Ed . But women get unwanted pregnancies in lots of ways that Sex Ed won’t stop, including failed contraception and rape. And there are a large number of reasons to have medical abortions available including ectopic or other high risk pregnancies. Hence the poster relying to you saying both is fine, but “just” Sex Ed is a terrible idea.
