Retired ObGyn here. My residency at a public hospital in a large city overlapped pre- and post-Roe. We saw a couple of women each week with horrible complications from back-alley abortions - infection, perforated uterus, bowel injuries, etc. They disappeared almost overnight post-Roe. We can expect them to reappear and proliferate in Mississippi.
Abortion may be emotionally and ethically complicated, but we live in a complicated, real world, where many choices are not black and white. Not that logic has an impact on fanatics, but the best way of preventing abortions is readily available contraception.
Thanks for the AMA and for the work you do. Be strong.
