Americans have experience of states making their own laws. States used to decide whether the state was a free state or a slave state. And they all lived happily ever after. Here the Americans are setting up an experiment, and we will be able to measure how many women die through obtaining an unsafe illegal abortion v how many women die after obtaining a legal abortion. Also, we may see an increase in child marriage. A lot of the states that will go anti-abortion are states where the legal age of marriage is as low as 12. Now that the 12-year-old has no access to abortion, her options may include marriage.
