You also leave out the argument about government’s role in regulation. In many countries that have outlawed abortion, it still goes on in incredibly high numbers. There are many scholars who have argued that making abortions illegal wouldn’t lower the number, but simply change the circumstances under which they were done. The real question is whether abortions will go down in number with someone like a Barack Obama who seeks to promote alternatives and to use government funds for that purpose or someone like John McCain who wants to outlaw abortion and encourage private entities (like church’s) to promote alternatives. Neither view should stop someone from receiving a vote for religious reasons.
