Should abortion be banned?

I think that you should be able to buy over the counter medication, by reference of a nurse or doctor, which terminates the pregnancy before a certain period. Sort of like RU486, but easier to get.

Furthermore, I do not think it is inherently bad, and the silly argument that you can just give the baby up for adoption means that the woman, who you are dictating this to, needs to;

Go through the pain of a childbirth they didnt want to do,
Pay all of the medical bills,
Take time of work when they became incapacitated,
possibly have lasting medical effects due to childbirth.. or die.

AND that is only IF they are planning to give it up for adoption! It is juvenile to beleive that peoples first prefernce when they do not abort is to sell the baby off. The reason why there is no babies to adopt is because the people who were silly enough to not get an abortion when they didnt want the baby, try to raise it themselves regardless of whether they can afford it, or whether it is a healthy environment for a child to be raised in (and if it is an unhealthy environment, more often than not the parents can not recognise this).

Child abuse case numbers are HUGE. They should be 0, but they are in the hundreds of thousands. If those women could have easily aborted, and did not feel the stigma from society, or the perceived guilt from the jesus crusaders camped out front of abortion clinics, maybe there would be less children suffering this emotional anguish.
