I don't think many anti-abortion people realize that there is absolutely nothing they or the state can do to make women give birth to unwanted children. Even if they propose to tie the pregnant woman up and force feed her until birth, there is no way they will know about the pregnancy before the woman herself. (And mandatory pee tests on the whole female population on a daily basis somehow sounds just as unlikely as being physically tied down for the entire duration of the pregnancy) So the whole debate is actually quite inconsequential. At the end of the day, women will not carry babies to term and give birth to them unless they want to. Restrictive laws, if they should somehow be adopted, will not change this fact. The only affect they will have on the society will be an increase in the number of dead women (along with the fetuses) who will have attempted the abortion in back alleys or in their own homes.
