I get what you’re saying.

To my mind, life saving is an emergancy situation which implies immediate action to keep someone alive.

This is definitely a surgery that impacts peoples lives, and one that has a time frame, but If can’t get an abortion at one clinic it’s unlikely you will just… die… before you organise an appointment somewhere else.

You can’t compare an abortion to.. say a premature birth. They are opposite ends of the spectrum. Both are important things that people need access to, but both aren’t life saving.

It sucks, it’s backward saying you won’t do it, but it’s quite literally the opposite of life saving.
