What good does banning abortion do? People will still go out and get one either in a backalley or with a clothes hanger, should we ban back alleys and clothes hangers while were at it?

It's like banning condoms in an effort to promote abstinence, people are still going to have sex. Which is even funnier because most of the over-zealous religious people who are against abortion are also against contraceptives maybe not openly but you might hear them say things like "They don't always work, and you can AIDs through them!"

Because to some of these people condoms and birth-control pills are considered abortions, apparently life begins the moment you think about sex.

Also Nyck, you need to keep in mind that it's easy for you to say "Be responsible!" but some people get caught up in a bad situation not rape but just make a stupid mistake. They shouldn't have to be penalized for making a mistake, especially when it comes to their future, and their right to choose whether or not they wish to be parents.

Edit: I'm not exactly sure on the facts or figures but I'd be willing to assume that the large number of abortions are from teenage girls, don't you remember being a stupid kid?
