    Rape is still illegal tho. This isnt an argument against abortion bro. When you ban abortion rapes dont go up. What does happen is that more women die making “at home” abortions, and thus more children remain orphans. A good example of this is socialist Romania under Nicolae Ceausescu. Abortion was initially legalized when the communists took power after WW2. However, then natality rates plummeted, due to the postWW2 poverty. The Communist Party of Romania attributed this to the abortion legalization, so they banned it again along with contraceptives (including condoms). While this did bring the natality rate back up again, it also resulted in thousands of young women dying during “homemade” abortions. Many children were also abandoned by their parents upon birth, especially during the austerity regime in the 1980s, resulting in orphanages being full of children. Banning abortion isnt a good idea.

      There is definitely not any direct correlation, but I know of the kinds of mindsets that lurk in society, that dwell on the possibility of no abortions. Once a female has conceived such a child, she will feel attached no matter if it was a rape, because of animal instinct. Keep in mind that I am talking from an idea perspective, not necessarily a statistical one.

      Abortion should always be legal, so that the female, in such a case, always has a choice. Law standing against possible victims wanting to abort makes the victim helpless, and the aggressor(s) in society stronger.

      I mean, look at your example. Natality rates falling down and then parents abandoning children to orphanages… it creates a very vicious cycle in society. Children become criminals out of desperation. Maybe I am thinking too far, maybe I am wrong, not sure. That is what I feel.
