How to shut up people who are against abortion

[Tiberius]

Should there be a law that prohibits abortion? If there is such a law, then there must be a punishment for disobeying it. What would that be?

Like I said before, I'm not interested in the logistics of punishments.

Before that, the statistics pointed to some 10 thousand illegal abortion per year. Now, we have some 8 thousand legal ones per year... and the illegals became negligible.
Which world do you prefer?

Obviously I'd prefer neither. The fact remains that the abortions were illegal. Just because many people do illegal things doesn't make it right.

I would also call into question any statistic which hopes to accurately count illegal abortions, which are by their nature kept off the books. I would very much like to see how the counting (or more likely, the estimation) was done.
