Murder is illegal and you can make money from it. Maybe we should legalize it so we can tax it and regulate it.
Oh wait, we already did.
That’s a good argument against legal abortion. But remember that the major reason why the murder rate is as low as it is in America is because the vast majority of people believe murder is wrong. The secondary reason is because it is illegal. Murder is also illegal in places like Columbia and Russia and yet the murder rate in those countries is much higher than in America. Look at illegal drug use, for example. That is illegal also, and yet there is still massive, widespread drug use in America because so many people do not think illegal drugs are wrong. To really eliminate any kind of activity in society, we have to change the belief system of society so that the vast majority of people believe that activity is wrong. That’s the big problem with abortion—so many people do not believe it is wrong. Those are the people who would be the clients of illegal abortionists. It seems like the place to start is by telling the truth about abortion and that a life really does begin at conception. Then hopefully we can gradually change the mistaken belief that abortion is not wrong.
