"Jeez, man, haven't you been paying attention in the last 50 years or so as to what happens when government decides to legislate away vice?"

To be fair, abortion should not be considered only "vice." Unlike abortion, drugs, smoking, drinking, prostitution, only harms the person seeking it; abortion is the taking of another human life, period. It can be reasonably argued that a person has the right to destroy their own life, but that right is not extended to destroying the life of another.

A fair point. I have no problems banning abortion since nobody has the right to harm another, even if that other person happens to be inside of you.
