will harm themselves to do it. If abortion is killing another human, the fact that some will risk their own death to do it should have no bearing on its legality. If it is to be legal, it should not be because some will risk harming themselves to kill an unborn child. It should be because there is nothing wrong with it. Only there is something wrong with it, it is killing another human. And just because some will kill themselves to do it does not mean we should permit it.
Abortion bans do not save fetal lives; they only impose severe injury/crippling/death as the penalty for taking fetal lives no law can save. Assuming they ARE lives, which is a big assumption; if they are not abortion bans impose the death penalty for something that should not be criminal.
