Abortion question for the religious
Do you think it is possible to believe abortion is morally wrong, yet still see that criminalizing it is bad public policy?
I ask becasue the unstated assumption behind the anti-choice (aka "pro-life) position seems to be that if legal access to abortion can be curtailed, the practice will end. This is nonsense. Women had abortions in the US before Row v. Wade. Millions of women have illegal abortions all over the world every day.
Since ending abortion is an impossibility, what is to be gained by criminalizing it?
