Just because you can find some providers in your area of Florida, does not by a long shot mean the same is true across the country and globe. That assumption that you insist is true is, in fact, false. It sounds like you're just trying to rationalize your minimization of the impact on women, sal.
Also, any public health providers or clinics that would get funding for women's health and family planning if PP is forced out of business would be prohibited by executive order from even bringing up abortion as an option for consideration, much less offering referrals to reputable abortion doctors. Those providers are now only allowed to advise women/couples on adoption or finding a way to keep/raise the baby in cases of unwanted pregnancies.
And, some women (like you, in fact) have every reason to believe that they can no longer have children or their partners consistently use protection, but they still get pregnant unexpectedly and don't know until it's too late for a next-day over-the-counter abortion pill.
Later abortion pills require medical intervention. So women who still had the option to use one of them could be restricted from that option if their health provider is a non-profit or a county/government health provider receiving federal funding (just because you're not in that category, doesn't mean that millions of other women and families are not dependent on such providers).
It's a significant, far-reaching, deal and a big victory for the people who want to control women's/couple's reproductive choices in accordance with their own moral and religious beliefs, and a big step back for women's right. I'm a woman who cares a lot about that and don't care if you're not.
But, to act like you know the impacts to women across the country than people with personal experience, that you know more than the policy makers who readily admit that their goal is to make it difficult/impossible for women to access legal abortion services, and that you know more than the experts in the field in order to rationalize your statements........makes no sense to me.
