What is the point? Even if abortion is illegal it will be still carried out, only in back alleys with coathangers. Procedures that might kill not only the life inside the woman but the woman herself.
In a perfect world there would be no abortions or at least very few on special conditions such on medical grounds. But we are imperfect as a species, so we live in an imperfect world. Wiping out abortion may be impossible, but we can lessen the number of abortions.
1. Adoption reforms to make the adoption process more efficient. There are alot of childless couples waiting to adopt. (I include homosexuals in this as well). Run a campaign persuading women to give birth and consider adoption.
2. More sexual awareness. Treating sex like a taboo is gonna result in the teenager rebelling - just like smoking. Studies report that more sexual aware a country is, the smaller the teenage pregnency rate. The Netherlands has one of the smallest abortion rate and teenage pregnency rate in Europe and it is legal to have sex at 14 there. I know some of you want to keep your teenagers innocent and in denial. But this is the real world.
