do you want a hollistic approach? when we resolve ALL issues at once? or, maybe, we deal with one thing at a time? Lets worry about the kids, that already alive... then, move our worry to unborn kids...

the institution of marriage was established due to the fact that the human offspring takes a lot of resources and time to raise into an independent adulthood - unlike cats, or dogs, or whatever, the humans usually do not litter and dump them in a 6 months... to raise a kid, you need two, that is why a man was "forced" by society to take care of the woman that he inpregnated. it was called marriage... that is why it was considered to be a "bad" woman to have a baby outside of wedlock... many cultures were like (not counting a small tribe in Nepal, where there is matriarchy) that, the birth of male-centric society... it was necessety...

that marriage institution is broken now - people live as BF/GF and have no "need" to get married... as a matter of fact, in VA, it is illegal to have sex unless you are doing it with your spouse... so, 50-80% of adult population in Va lives in violation of the law... lol...

we can't afford having babies that are abandoned, we can't have underground abortion clinics - the ban on abortion will bring us to that... a lot of abandoned orphans, and a lot of girls that die due to unqualified "medical" help... look at latin america - a lot of countries banned abortions... did people stop having sex? no... do they get pregnant? yes... do they have babies? yes... do they raise their own babies? not all of them - i do not have statistics, i can only go by what i saw on the streets - did not look too good... do they have abortions? yes, they do... it is more expensive, much riskier but it is still done... like the ban on pot stopped people from smoking... yeah, right... or, the prohibition... or the gun owners' argument, people will still have guns...

and besides, you keep talking about murdering... when a man spills his seed in vain, is it a murder? fishing using a worm, is it a murder? a worm has a beating heart... is a 3-day fetus a human being?... there is point, where that entity becomes oficially a human, the birth... prior to that, that entity can survive outside of womb, around 7th month of pregnancy, on its own... around 5th or 6th month, the entity can survive with medical help... before the 3rd month - it is not survivable, unless we are willing to make babies in glass tubes...

the medical society should establish certain guidelines and adhere to them...

not the people like you or me, screaming moral, or immoral...
