A point the more public-facing anti-abortion groups never seem to get 
round to talking about is that banning abortion won't stop abortions 
from happening; it'll just make them unsafe criminal affairs, carried 
out furtively, with an attached significant death toll.

(The more extreme anti-abortion groups, notably the Christian 
reconstructionists, want to bring in the death penalty for abortionists 
*and* the women who use their services *and* for adulterers *and* for 
homosexuals ... but they don't make a big point of bringing this up in 
front of the general public. Can't imagine why.)
