CMV: Abortion bans will never work and it's a flawed approach to the problem

# Disclaimer

# I  don't know if there is something of a similar essence that has already  been said on this sub / anywhere else. I'm not trying to sell this as  I'm about to solve the abortion question on my own. I'm not claiming to  have thought of it first.

Abortion   is clearly wrong, and world without it would be better, but  outlawing   it would just make things worse and won't work. It's the same   situation  as with narcotics.

In  places  where abortion is banned people will go to another   state/country where  they can do the procedure, and if, hypothetically, it's banned  everywhere or the person can't afford the trip illegal   underground  abortion "clinics" will spring up offering to provoke a   stillborn.

Fighting  abortion with  bans is like fighting drug use by outlawing the  users.  It doesn't  work and it makes the practice even more dangerous  for those  involved.

The  argument revolves  around the same things that, unfortunately, make it  unsolvable. Pro-life  says that since we can't decide when the fetus is  human or whatever we  should ban to be sure.

Pro-choice   doesn't want to be seen as "muh let's kill babies who cares" side of  the  argument so they say fetus is not a baby, and then emphasize on the freedom of choice aspect because the whole is-human-yet thing is a dead  end and both sides know it.

The   thing is that pro-life are right ethically, but it doesn't make their   solution valid. Their solution is fucking garbage. Ban all you want,   abortion in some form has been around forever and, just as with drugs,   banning it is a bad decision. There have to be multiple educational   programs to avoid unwanted pregnancy at all costs by spreading safe sex   techniques, but not allowing abortion to be made in safe clinical environment is hurtful and not going to work as intended at all.

EDIT: My view changed. Thanks for helping me to refine my views. In summary:

1. Abortion is not "clearly wrong". A woman has to have the right to terminate her pregnancy at any time, since there's a lot of different factors involved and very definitive answers can not be effectively provided by the law; the government has to do their best to educate the people on abortion risks and costs and provide free safe sex information and contraceptives, but the choice has to lay in the hands of the woman in question.
2. Perhaps an abortion ban will decrease the number of abortions, but it's not worth increasing the number of deaths and injuries caused by illegal abortions and an increase in numbers of neglected children.

Thanks to everybody who participated. I would answer new replies if there will be some but bear this edit in mind when replying.

Assuming Pro-Lifers are correct (which is not as you frame a clear cut issue) abortion bans are certainly the way to go. If Abortion = Murder is true then banning abortion is akin to banning murder. 


Will there still be murders? Of course. There is also underground business involving murder. That does not mean we should legalize murder. 


Banning abortion does not mean that we can't do the other things you mention. In fact they are completely  unrelated (even if they get thrown into the same pile).
