Well, here are a few more cliches (but just remember, one of the troublesome things about cliches is that they generally become cliches because they're true).

Those for whom aborting an unwanted child is a matter of "maintaining a lifestyle" generally have the bucks necessary to travel to another state or another country to get the job done. Or to find a doctor who is willing to do a little backroom procedure without putting it on the books if he's paid enough. For the rape victim or the pregnant teen-ager, the only recourse they will have is the sleazy back-street butcher or the time-honored rusty coat hanger.

Making abortion illegal won't stop it. It'll just wind up killing and maiming a lot of women and girls. But then, the whole point, as far as the far right or the fundies is concerned is that if someone "commits a sin" (has sex out of wedlock), they must suffer for it. Suffer:   be forced into having a child that they don't want or are simply unable to raise in a decent environment.

Great for the child. Not to mention eventual crime statistics.

But as long as the sinner suffers for her sin, fundies and right-wingers don't much care about "collateral damage."
