Roe v. Wade
Then, the other 3 don't even matter, because 57 million lives have been saved!
Because there would clearly be no abortion at all if it were illegal? And even California and New York would ban it if it were still left to the states, as was the default before Roe v. Wade? I'm sorry, but this is the right wing version of assuming that just passing a law automatically solves the problem for good.
Indeed, but I'd wager the total abortion figure would be lower, and it would get harder to legalize abortion with modern ultrasound images now, so while it's an oversimplification to say 57 million lives would be saved, some would have been saved for sure.
How illegal would you make it? There's a big difference between premeditated murder charges vs. a $500 fine and mandatory sex ed classes. Personally, I would be pretty okay with the latter but couldn't stand for the former. Also, it's always been interesting to me that the penalty for inducing miscarriage under the Mosaic law was only a fine vs. the death penalty for murder.
I believe abortion should be first-degree murder
