I think many of the staunch "fight abortion at all costs" people here don't realize the facts that
1) Abortion is less common today than it was when it was banned and
2) that abortifacient drugs are available privately (secretly) through the US mail.
Your first point is misleading at best, the baby killer crowd wants you to think that.
This article refutes the engineered myth that abortions are less common. We still do not have accurate numbers today because several states do not collect numbers and the ones that do depend on institutions that sell baby-parts to accurately report. In fact, your second point refutes the first, I would say we need to criminalize abortifacients to the same degree as any schedule 1 drug.
Much of the false data peddled today was created by the Guttmacher Institute, the propaganda arm of Planned Parenthood. It was named after Alan Guttmacher, who succeeded Sanger as president of Planned Parenthood. You could not come up with a more ridiculous or absurd caricature if you tried. Guttmacher was a German-Jewish doctor that believed in forced sterilization, forced euthanasia, radical humanism, eugenics, unrestricted divorce/abortion/suicide, and explicitly rejected the existence of God and dualism.
That's without even addressing the question of how much child abuse, drug abuse, cruelty, rape, incest, and other evils that will be inflicted on these unwanted children by their mother's boyfriends, thugs in the community, foster homes, etc. and the lack of quality schools and communities we will have for an influx of poor wards of the state, many of whom are minorities, when you don't first address the root cause.
This argument follows the same lazy rhetoric that many libertarians and Bolsheviks depend on. It reminds me of the common retorts that you cannot "legislate morality" or that crime is the result of "oppressed (insert victim race/class) responding to (insert twitter strife of the week)." We should not have to put up with mentally ill crack addicts roaming our cities because drug laws are some oppressive exercise of morality. People should not be able to smash and grab a Walgreens in California because "muh reparations." I do not care about root causes, society does not lose standing to condemn wrong behavior just because risk factors exist. Under this logic we should not prosecute murders in Chicago because fatherless "youths" are going to shoot each other at high rates.
Society can still prosecute murders without having to worry about mitigating circumstances. That is what sentencing hearings are for.
