No, just that I'm tired of religious views being used as justification to enforce harmful policies on other people. My experience with abortion is irrelevant but even so you are incorrect. People I know have been involved in the abortions of people they know, but I myself have not been.
Making abortion illegal factually does more harm than good. Forcing children to be born to parents who don't want them greatly increases their likelihood of abuse and neglect by said parents. It increases the burden on the foster care system, it increases homeless children and parents due to a lack of sufficient resources, it increases child sex trafficking, it increases death among women who die in childbirth that would've survived an abortion of high risk pregnancies, it increases the risk that victims of natural miscarriages, or victims of miscarriages caused by domestic abuse (like my own mother who suffered many miscarriages as a result of said abuse from my father), will be prosecuted by the legal system. It just makes society worse.
If pro-life people would align with pro-choice people in their efforts to expand safe sex education and access to contraceptives, than unwanted pregnancies and abortions would plummet. Instead many anti-abortion people also advocate for abstinence only education and against contraceptives which is completely ineffective at preventing teen sex and pregnancies and causes them to increase not decrease.
