Yeah, sure, like that's worked really well in practice. It's already legal (since you apparently haven't noticed), and the effect of legalizing was to increase the number of abortions from a few hundred per year to about 600,000 the first year it was legalized, with the numbers standing at over 1 million per year. Furthermore, abortion pushers like Planned Parenthood, upon legalization, IMMEDIATELY went into full action, not only trying to convince--almost coerce--pregnant women to snuff their babies, but also doing everything they could to convince non-pregnant girls to get pregnant and have abortions. They went into high schools (and probably still do) to sell abortion, going so far as to tell young girls outright lies. (For instance, one lie my class was told: that if you suffer menstrual cramps, having a late-term abortion will cure them forever.) PP's actions are hardly those of an organization trying to teach women that there are better alternatives. There's too much money in pushing abortion, for those who don't have a conscience.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is probably too young to remember when abortions were illegal, common, and too often resulted in the death of the mother as well as her baby
You do know that that's mostly hype put out by PP and other abortion pushers, don't you? Maybe 2 or 3 hundred women per year died from "back-alley" abortions before it was legalized; the number of women dying from legal and "safe" abortions is far higher. Maternal death rate is somewhere between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000--on the low side, that's over 1,000 maternal deaths from abortion per year. The child death toll, of course, is far higher.
You don't know how many abortions occurred before they were legal. None of us do. And you don't know how many deaths occurred - that's the problem with underground activity - no statistics are available.
But if you think making abortion illegal will stop it, you are very mistaken. Marijuana and crack are illegal - do you think no one uses that? Auto theft is illegal - do you think no one ever steals cars?
You have to decide whether you want to end abortion, or whether you just want to punish the women who have them. I'm in the former class, and you seem to be firmly in the latter.
