Since abortion is the deliberate taking of an innocent human life, I've never bothered to consider any other arguments against it (nor would I ever offer any such other arguments in public, for fear of diluting that prime objection).

I’m not looking for arguments against abortion. As you say, life needs no additional argument.

I’m looking for how culture A without abortion would be different from culture A with abortion.

It’s similar to arguing for zoning in and around an elementary school. How would a strip club or an adult bookstore in the same block be potentially problematic. What arguments would be raised in objection to those stores?

So with abortion, how would the addition of abortion change that culture?

By the way, CF, these are not trick questions. They’re truly things I’m reflecting on. It’s like ‘how does adding this ingredient change the recipe?”
