Actually the point i was making was that no matter what the law was, abortions would still happen, but the difference is that in one case the abortion would be performed in a sterile room by a doctor with proper tools, while in the other case, the abortion would be performed by some guy in an unsterile room with who the hell knows what tools.

Yes murder will still happen too, but I'd still like to do my best to keep the death rates as low as possible, making abortion illegal will cause more death and misery than keeping it legal.

Actually you can choose to keep both alive in poverty, but it's still not a good 3rd choice.

I agree with your analogy to weed and alcohol. To a certain extent, I believe this kind of idea should be extended to prostitution too. Not that I support it or anything, but think about it... if prostitution were to be legalized, then the government could regulate it. Pimps and escort agencies would all have to own a prostitution license, or they would be thrown in jail. Using underage girls would be outright illegal, any acts of violence or abuse would revoke the pimp's license and/or get them put into jail... You could even have a hooker's union, that would find it's members good, reputable agencies to work for.

When you really look at it, the government has a lot more control over legalized, regulated substances than ones it outright deems illegal.

This, I think, is another aspect of the desirability of free choice on the abortion issue...
