If gun laws won't stop gun violence why would abortion laws stop abortion?

They won't re: abortion, because abortion is a medical procedure.

For one, there would be no where to go to get an abortion.

let me break it down for you smarty pants.


Ban guns = criminals still have guns to say... rob me at gunpoint with.


Banning abortions may result in ppl breaking that law, but they can’t hold the abortion to my head and threaten me with it. Im not up a fricking creek without a paddle because i dont have my own abortion to defend myself with.



Food for thought? Not even a crumb here, im starving.

Murder and robbery are illegal, but folks still get murdered and robbed. What is the point of your silly post.

Abortions would still happen, but they would be illegal

Just like murdering people is illegal

Should we make murder legal because making it illegal hasn't stopped everyone from murdering? I lean no

Studies comparing rates of abortion before and after changes to abortion laws within a particular region/country support the claim that abortion restrictions lower abortion rates:

Well, the UK doesn't have many guns now. So, seems like those laws worked to reduce the amount of guns, didn't it Hog.

OP can't understand the difference between laws which PROHIBIT killing and laws which LEGALIZE killing.

Sorry, I can't help someone like that

A few reasons.

1) the barriers to execute an abortion are much higher than to use or simply acquire a gun. You have to have some sort of medical skills to do so. Usually people who have those skills have options and would not be willingly to break the law.

2) regardless of whether or not the murder of a child is prevented, i would prefer a world where justice could be served.

If NY bans guns people will drive to Jersey to buy guns.
If Alabama bans abortion people will drive to Georgia to get abortions.
What's the problem?

Banning tools will not stop psychos from harming people. They'll just find a different tool or get one illegally. And you take self defense tools out of the hands of law abiding citizens.

People who don’t break the law use guns for ethical reasons, target shooting, hunting, protection. People who break the law use guns for murder, those people will still have guns if guns were banned, just like drugs. Abortion is murder.

Sorry, I misread question. I’d assumed most abortion doctors would stop. Self induced abortions would still happen I’m sure.

There were fewer abortions performed before they were legalized.

Make it a class A felony for any person or employee of any organization to manufacture a gun and it would likely Change the number of guns available. Or you could buy a gun in another country while you are there to get an abortion.

Because medical practitioners generally have more to lose than a street thug.

Illegal abortions will still happen, and the people who get them will be seen as the criminals as they should be.

There is an ethical and safe way you can own a gun.

There is no ethical way you can murder a baby.

If people want to do it, they should have to do so under the threat of prosecution for their heinous act.
