    He appointed justices to overturn Roe vs. Wade. You are asking the wrong question, though. Talking about reducing abortion without outlawing abortion is like talking about how to reduce the number of murders without criminalizing murder. Allowing the guilty to go free is evil. They need to be punished. That is the purpose of the state: to punish criminals, but most especially murderers.

    There are ways to discourage abortion, but that is by giving women options and support. It is also by cutting through the lies of the pro-choice movement. Those are not necessarily government programs, though.

    PSST. overturning Roe vs. Wade does not make abortion illegal. &, since the overturning, which you supported, abortions have gone up. Further, have you any evidence that making it illegal will reduce it or increase it? For you, it sounds like the issue is just about being a do nothing, self-righteous blowhard. All hat, no cattle.

    prob lost on you, but:The iron law of prohibition is a term coined by Richard Cowan in 1986 which posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases. Cowan put it this way: "the harder the enforcement, the harder the drugs."
