I've noticed many people on CD stating that they would like to see Row v. Wade overturned and abortion made illegal or at least strictly controlled. My question is, what do you think would happen in America if abortion was indeed made illegal? Wouldn't there be a great deal of fallout from such a decision? People always discuss how they feel abortion should be made illegal but nobody discusses what would ultimately result from it becoming illegal. What do you envision happening?
It will never happen so this is a moot point. If Roe versus Wade was overturned the states would take over...
Lets see...suicides are up, child abuse is high, babies are left on doorsteps now or placed alive in dumpters.
Maybe people might take more responsibility.
But, even if the few people who do drive-thru abortions were finally stopped, the demand for abortion will never end. It has always existed and making it illegal is simply irresponsible to both women and society.
I truly understand the ethical dilemma of this issue, but using government to control our lives is simply not the answer. It would only create more problems.

Well lets see, first and foremost Millions of Babies will live instead of dying!!! Anything beyond that is really inconsequential don't you think?
Increase suicide.
Increase infection and death from botched abortion.
More enslavement of women.
More poverty.
More single parents.
More difficulty for women attaining college education.
Increase population growth rate.
Increase crime rate 18 years down the road.
As despicable abortion is, it's a vital service, most developed countries with universal health care covers it, because it's good policy to have.
all of the reasons stated by the pro choice posters in this thread is exactly what would happen. women would use coat hangers, back alley abortionists would be profit at the expense of women. suicide, neglected children, abandoned children, more welfare, more crime, more messed up lives. making abortion illegal would not stop people from having sex nor would it make them more responsible. abortion must remain legal, safe and the choice up to a women and her doctor
Ah, the old the-living-woman-doesn't-matter argument.
