No law will stop one single abortion. Anyone who wants one will always go where it is available.

"No law will stop one single abortion. Anyone who wants one will always go where it is available." So immature of you ... sounds so very like the 'I want the right to any drugs and any behavior that pleases me' crowd. That which is deemed 'legal', as opposed to illegal, gains acceptance, even if it is deadly wrong as is the serial killing of alive unborn children. Congrats, you've extracted your metal from the rational discussion.

You might as well say that "No law will stop one single murder (enslavement, kidnapping, rape, theft, etc)...."

Think about the consequences of slavery being outlawed. That worked, didn't it?

Of course, laws against abortion will decrease abortions and in fact, decrease pregnancies. The history of Poland in the last 20 years has proven a sample, a "lab," for just this scenario. It turns out that men and women change their behavior as far as risk of pregnancy according to abortion regulations.

There are about 4,000 abortions per day in America. Do you really believe there were 4,000 illegal abortions a day in 1972, the year before it was decriminalized?

Oh, and also...

Ban all religious head garb.

Are you serious? And if so, have you read something called The Fuirst Amendment?
