A properly educated, free thinking population would evolve past the need for abortion legislation before any legal enforcement could eliminate the practice.
(Remember, legal abortions are, at the very least, conducted in a medically controlled environment. Criminalization merely pushes them back into the dark, dangerous underground, where no good is served.)
I am pro-life, but I demand that I be given the choice.

YES. Just because I would not choose that route, does not mean no one else can. Thank you, this is the best description of my feelings on the topic I have read yet.
