- Roe can easily be interpreted as abortion on demand,
- since continuing a pregnancy against one's will appears
- to (via a recently referenced JAMA study) increase the
- risk of adverse psychological sequelae. It's really
- very easy: if abortion services are denied, there are
- implicit mental health risks for the respective woman,
- hence abortion services cannot be denied. Abortion
- on demand.
