Anyway, my point is that making abortion illegal has shown to put more lives at risk by creating a black market system that is unregulated. If we want to focus on reducing the number of abortions, and all of us should, instead of favoring legislation like this we should be pushing our lawmakers to improve sex education, to make reproductive health more accessible and affordable, to make contraceptives more easily accessed, and to help provide better services to new and expecting mothers/families so that they can support a child without having to decide between feeding themselves or their child.

Abortion is a problem, but it's a laceration that needs stitches. Making it illegal is just putting a dressing on it and hoping it will stop on its own.

If nobody likes the idea of abortion then why are there about 1 million each year in the U.S. Guess what else might increase all those good things you said? Taking away the legal option to abort a child. 

The absolute worst excuse for abortion is: If it is illegal folks are going to do it anyway.
