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.

Actually, that is a myth. There is not one confirmed case of this ever happening.

Murdering an adult is illegal but people still do it anyway. According to this logic we should legalize "choice" for murdering adults as well.

Since you seem to be pro choice, do you also believe that a woman should have the legal right to murder her child in the 9th month? Are you also in favor of "choice" for partial birth abortion? Do you believe a woman should have the choice kill her unborn baby by sucking its brains out and crushing its skull?
