Preventing abortion is more tractable than malaria prevention(which I would guess is likely true)
Huh, my guess would have been the opposite. To prevent an abortion, you have to actually convince someone to do something they didn’t want to do (or advocate for political change to force them to do it), whereas people already don’t want to die from malaria, they just need resources to help them do that. That said I really have no idea, you may be right.
I was thinking more in terms of political difficulty. Since Roe v. Wade was overturned and several states have instituted abortion, it seems like there could be a lot more momentum and support for further abortion bans.
Comparatively, it seems politically hard to coordinate on ending the suffering of those in different countries in a way that as many people as support abortion bans would get behind.
That’s why my hunch would be that abortion is more tractable in terms of pure legal bans, but you might be right that going beyond that into actually stopping people from getting abortions might be far less tractable than malaria.
