You mean passing laws is a waste of time? Who knew! Have you told Congress yet?
By the way, I'd encourage you to tell us which Federal laws you've broken recently. Since you're claiming that people in general don't bother conform their behavior to the law, it should be a long list. Include your name, address, and other contact information to make it easy for the appropriate law enforcement agencies.
Another case where you're misusing data. Pre-Roe, single mothers were not subsidized by the American tax-payers. Those subsidies started just a few years before.
If you want to claim that abortion had more to do with the lack of babies for adoption than subsidies for single mothers, you have to have a study to back it up.
I am open to being convinced, if you can point me to the data.
Many abortions were self-induced. (No, I don't know how many those were, because as I've said before, we don't have statistics).
And your silliness about laws is proof that you're not a deep thinker. Let me give you some help - laws that we're not willing to spend as much as it takes to enforce are not worth it. Congress knows that, even if you don't.
They sometimes do pass laws that are popular so they can get re-elected, but they don't fund enforcement measures. I've mentioned local laws before, but immigration and drug laws are 2 examples of laws that Congress has passed that don't mean much to the people who would prefer to ignore them.
And they won't be punished.
Wallis does have a blurb about this on his online travel journal. People might find it an interesting read to see who he's been out trying to win over, and who has been buying his load of manure:

The Evangelical Covenant church practically fell all over themselves in adoration.
