In the old days you could put a baby you could not afford in an orphanage. Until he or she was old enough to get his working papers and then help support the family. Is that better or worse then an abortion?
Not everyone wants to abort a kid they can't afford. You thing they can just forget about doing it?
A heartless mother fucker can, but not a normal person.
I hate the mere thought of abortion, but I can't think of any way to legislate someone's body without violating their basic civil rights. Say there's some pill out there that kills a fetus, and it's undetectable. What do you do, monitor the pregnant woman every second? Start a federal agency that specializes in shadowing pregnant women everywhere they go? It's impossible to truly enforce an anti-abortion law without relegating a woman to being less than a citizen. Anyone who wants to go back to such a time might as well just go live in the sticks, because each day they wake up is going to be worse than the last.
