[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thing is, and I say this over and over, no one can end abortion. No one. Whether they like it or not, it is a fact of life. When legal abortion disappears, or is regulated to the point that it functionally disappears, women are killed or permanently scarred in the process of getting one. Or infanticide increases. I remember reading one book, and I apologize that it's been fifteen years and I can no longer remember the title or author, that suggested that some historic "accidental" infant deaths were suffocation.

There is no reducing abortion by legislation, there is making it more dangerous for the woman. Frankly, I wonder if anti-choice people understand and acknowledge that or if they [b]kind of like that idea as a punishment[/b].[/quote]

This. Most of them don't care. They see it as "she chose to have the abortion, so she deserved that X, Y and Z happened!" even if x, y and z means the death of the woman, infections, etc.

I came from a country where abortion is illegal - only permitted in cases of rape, risk of death to the mother and, most recently the Supreme Court decided that it can also be done when the fetus has no chance of surviving (like anencephaly gor instance) because of the emotional distress to the mother.

It is illegal but still happens all the time. The poor go to "butchers" and the middle class and rich go to clandestine clinics paying through the tubs.
