My wife who grew up Catholic, married into a family of Evangelicals, and is now Atheist after the last couple years has never had an abortion, or considered one. We have one 5-year old daughter. She is basically an independent who leans left on a few things, and leans right on a few things. She is pro-choice now, though once pro-life. She sits on the fence on the issue for the most part, but is terrified about this decision because she sees it as a loss of rights for women, even though it should never affect her personally. This has motivated her to vote blue no matter who for the rest of her life (real blue, not atlas blue). Just some anecdotal experience from me. She sees this as going backwards in time and the start of rewinding women's equality and is terrified about a sort-of handmaids tale reality coming. She wants to move to Canada because of this issue and school shootings. Two years ago she hated how the cops were all getting bad names, was mostly pro-life besides rape/life of mother, and hated the welfare system in America because of those who take advantage of it.
