Serioulsy? Let's kill the knowledge of even how to perform an abortion to save the babies!
:x
So what if the exact same procedure is used to remove a fetus which has died on its own early in the pregnancy? Doctors can not have the knowledge that could save that woman's life, they might use it to remove clumps of cells that might someday be a person!
Why, that would be like... like... issuing GUNS to police offficers or something crazy like that...
You can't fight the so-called logic of the irrational, Luna. These folks don't think of anything but their rhetoric. And the faster, higher, further they can take it, the happier they are. I keep waiting and waiting for this hyperbolic overdrive of the far right to reverse course...and it's not happening.

There's no stopping it. It won't happen.(inside scoop) Many of these folks feel that they have a moral imperative to stop the slaughter or whatever. I've tried to use ethical arguments on some of them and there's no use when they play the G-O-D card. Some few have even argued to me that going back to coat hangers and abusive alcoholic med-school drop-outs is morally preferable because it would "be a deterrent."
The simple truth is that a sense of responsibility and the education that they ALSO fight could prevent many times more unwanted children than abortion.
They don't want a solution folks. They wanna be "right" and do what the man they get their Opium from says.
Yup. Agreed.
