Tactics to prevent women from obtaining abortions, including refusing to fund reproductive health programs which so much as mention abortion, and frightening women away from reproductive health clinics which do provide abortion, result in dead babies. Dead mothers, too. You and I would both like to see as few abortions as possible; banning abortion has little or no effect on the number that take place and harms wanted children as well. The most effective tactic is to prevent unwanted pregnancies in the first place, through education and health care.
