Sorry, but you're wrong on that score too. When you were alive in the womb (pre-Roe v Wade) the law prevented your mom from terminating you.

You are certainly the one who is sorry.

Abortion might have been illegal, but it was still available on the black market. The government did not "prevent" her from having an abortion, it discouraged her with threats of criminal punishment (which probably weren't enforced all that often anyways).

By your logic, the government "prevents" teenagers from getting drunk--but at least tens of thousands of teenagers are probably drunk in America at any given time.

I don't believe I've ever had to resort to a personal attack when I disagreed with someone's opinion.
