That's like chopping off your arm because you got a small cut. The solution to the black population is forced deportation, not keeping them here but perpetually murdering their babies as population control.
I would prefer that, but we have to work inside reality and with the tools we have. Deportation is not an option at this moment, though I'd take that over abortions any day.
I'm right forever. Prohibition worked:
View attachment 1665335The thing is, if people were consuming alcohol under guise of medication then you would expect the consumption to be virtually unchanged between the time it started and ended. But what you see is a very sharp increase in consumption after it ended proving it worked. The same thing with abortion. Back alley abortions weren't a major problems
Prohibition was also a legal nightmare to enforce, lol especially with so many cops and such on the take with regards to hiding it. Due to the incentives to lie to the people who recorded this information I'd also caution you against believing this chart uncritically.
The Kennedys made their fortune off bootlegging, and it only took a few years for the ban to be reversed. I bet that if we banned abortion then there would be similar robber barons who made buku bucks off providing illegal abortions. Same thing as weed, there are people who have made ridiculous amounts of money off weed despite it still being illegal in many places. In fact the problems with controlling weed usage drove it being legalized in many places.
I don't think there would be thousands of back alley abortions or thousands of unwanted children if we banned abortion but I do think that black market forces would fill the gap, as they did with Prohibition and weed and other drugs. That's important to keep in mind even if the threat is overblown.
I can see it now, headlines 50 years in the future: FAMOUS POLITICIAN'S FAMILY MADE FORTUNE OFF PROVIDING ILLEGAL ABORTIONS.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to be all "HURR DURR JOGGERS BAD!", but getting rid of legal abortion will not get rid of the demand for legal abortion. If the ban goes through you'll see hundreds if not thousands of back alley abortion clinics popping up, and people doing crazy home "remedies" to try and skirt the ban.
Bad for everybody.
To some extent, yeah. If nothing else you'd have a lot of pregnant women "accidentally falling" down the stairs. And there will be unscrupulous people who will provide these procedures unregulated. The upside of having legal abortion is that you can tax it out the ass and you can send regulators to crawl up the asshole of every abortion clinic in the country to give them a hard time and make sure they're up to code. (To a certain extent anyway, government being what it is.)
