The one good thing about it being legal is that women know they have a choice and, thus, are possibly less likely to be desperately wanting the pregnancy to end.
Bingo. Abortion WOULD happen, legal or not. Best to keep it legal so that it can be done in safe, sanitary conditions instead of in back alleys with coat hangers.

Should we make murder legal, that way it can be done sanitary instad of back alleys. making murder illegal has not stopped murder .

now you are assuming no one enters foster care. First you assume all 800,000 will now you assume all 800,000 will not. You also assume that not one of these mothers will decide to keep the baby.
The one thing remains clear. Killing is wrong. You can say its justified but it is still denying life.

Blah, Blah Blah there are alot of wrongs in this world. That's life. And murder and abortion have nothing to do with one another. You say killing is wrong but do you believe it? Do you think that killing during war is wrong? So you think our soldiers are murders? Just checking....all killing is not wrong...some is necessary!

First of all. You are defining abortion as murder. That is not an official, or even universally agreed upon premise. Secondly, making murder illegal has likely drastically reduced murders. Lastly, if I state that an apple is not an orange, what have I really stated?

So perhaps Jesus would have abstained. Still, in his wisdom, he might be able to weigh in with something different from the positions I've read in this thread. So I ask again, wwjd?

1)we have the wide gap between the two sides. One side defines denyong someone the right to live as murder. One side does not
2) Murder has drasticaly reduced murders that making abortion illegal woudl dratically reduce abortion.
3) You are either looking at an apple or are confused
