9. I'm not the person to ask, since I am not a writer altho I wish I were!
But I have worked for Planned Parenthood, raising money. So I know the face of activism in this area.

What you have described is an interesting scenario where prochoice activists are driven to do something that in normal times theywould never do, out of desperation. That is a great theme, but it would be hard to believe this particular scenario since prochoice advocates would, at some point, see that the real victims would be these young women. Either they would have a difficult situation where they might not be able to find a safe means of ending the pregnancy or they would face an unwanted pregnancy. Either way, it takes agency away from the young women.

I always love "ends justify means" plots, tho, and it would be great if you could come up with another twist on the story. I particularly like the idea of developing the realization dawning on the antichoice justices. I'll bet, though, that there have been antichoice justices with exactly that dilemma!

You've given me something to think about...
