"I believe that abortion is wrong. It shouldn't be done. However, I recognize that laws banning abortion will harm more than help. I choose to implement other methods of reducing abortions that solve the problem without risking the lives or health of the mother."

I can't grasp that argument. How does a law banning the killing of thousands of people a year cause more problems? Because it causes the killer to pursue unsafe killing practices? I don't get it.

Its kind of like the war on some drugs, people will still do it, whether in a back room with a coathanger like the old days or if rich, overseas, or if legal in a sanitary hospital, rich or poor. People have a difference of opinion on most laws and what part the government should play in them, abortion is another one of them.

I can grasp it but I don't like it. The people who make that argument are the ones who say that hookers should be legal because then they will be tested for VD and won't spread AIDS.

Personally, I have no sympathy for "Johns" with AIDS or for women who want to kill their child so badly they risk their own health.
