I'd argue the pandemic is what fixed the dmv, not running it like a business.
It's often lost that in the pro-choice conversation, chosing to keep the pregnancy is also a valid choice.
The improvements preceded COVID by a decade, COVID actually fucked it up for awhile because it relies on in person visits. It was definitely the "run your government like a business" Republican guys that fixed it.
And yes on #2. Pro choice implies, well, choice. But being personally uncomfortable with abortion seems to annoy people even though I'm not telling them what to do. Like I have to have the right feelings about it.
