This will be a blow to the anti-abortion side of the Supreme Court hearing March 26...
...(if SCOTUS members understand what a scholarly retraction means).
Tone police here:
Everyone is anti-abortion. These people are anti-choice.

@TruthSandwich Oh no, the thing is, not everyone is anti-abortion.
I know plenty who are proudly pro-abortion.
@TruthSandwich again, it sounds like you just haven't come across such people, and so you assume they don't exist.
But they do and I know a fair number of them personally.
Not only are they self-identified as pro-abortion, not only do they flat out say they want more abortions, but as a related matter, they actively push back against the folks saying they don't exist.
They wish it was normalized for people to be able to feel pro-abortion and also to normalize admitting it.
No, it's not my cup of tea, but it's definitely a thing.
I actually don't enjoy talking with them all that much because so often discussions invariably end up talking abortion, so I don't know if I'd say you're missing out from not coming across them, but yeah.
That's fine.
I'd just suggest keeping keeping this in mind in case you ever do come across such folks.
You might immediately think that must be hearing them wrong, but no, there's a good chance they're being honest.

As I explained in that essay, people who say they're pro-abortion are mistaken.
Mostly, it's hyperbole for rhetorical reasons, and it's cringey.
