I am actually in favor of minimizing the number of abortions, though there are two caveats:

1) Blanket outlawing abortion doesn't make the problem go away, it just makes women who feel they need one (And, frankly, there are justifiable reasons to have one) turn to dangerous, unregulated/uncontrolled methods

2) The usual vocal "pro-life" crowd is also against other things that reduce the number of abortions, such as better/more modern birth control, reasonable (not abstinence-only) sex education, etc etc. They also view it as trying to force the woman to 'take responsibility' for having sex, which is fucking asinine.

I also have zero respect for "Life begins at coneption" argument because it shows the person making the argument has literally zero grasp of science.

Life does begin at conception. What's anti-science is precisely drawing the line at any further arbitrary point. (There are even people advocating for murdering newborns lately.) Murder being legal does not make it not murder.

I agree that outlawing abortion will not make it go away entirely, but it will certainly decrease the number of killed babies, which is a good thing. I am not against "birth control," I am not against actual sex education (i.e. how babies are actually brought about, sexually-transmitted diseases, etc.) once they're teenagers, but I am of course against explicit sexual "education" and brainwashing children with gender nonsense - especially young children. We will eliminate that cancer to society.
