To you, this horrible cost is the emotional turmoil these woman have to go through to reach the birth stage. Yeah, that can be sad.
To the other side, the laws were written because others insist that the right to this "reproductive freedom" (great term) allows them to butcher little kids as they come out.
I think they allege a greater harm than you do.

Uh, you've lost sight of which Minnesota law we're talking about here. A ban on D/E or D/X or whatever had nothing to do with the wait-and-consent law that wronged this woman. It has to do with lecturing women on the evils of abortion when the fetus inside them is not viable, and they're already heartbroken about that. She merely observed that if her sonogram had happened two weeks later, she'd have to go to Kansas. She'd have gotten the legislature's lecture in either case, even if she was one month pregnant.
So spare me the talk about butchering little kids as they come out. Unless
you're willing to sit in a white room and tell the mother of an anencephalic fetus that she's butchering her little kid.
