"Apples and oranges---abortions are much harder to conceal (and take much more skill to provide) than drugs."

Thank you for your patience, MLR.

My response to this is....

Doesn't matter.

There, now you have it, my good man. By your logic, since we now have abortion drugs, that fact means they should be legal and the drugs openly provided on the "free" market.

It clearly does matter to your argument that we can expect legalization to increase drug use as much as Roe v Wade increased abortions. The points I cited show why legal restrictions are much more effective against abortion than against drugs.

False; abortion drugs are used on an unwilling person, whereas recreational drugs are used on the willing self.
