The net result will be the same--those who want an abortion, regardless of any legal ban, will find a way to get one.

Which is why I think it's a damned shame our tax dollars can support upwards of $5K to have a kid plus 3 cartons of milk a week (along with other AFDC benefits) but our tax dollars have been dictated by repug assholes to NOT fund abortions. Personally, I'd rather pay to kill the kid as pay to raise it -- as raising it is more costly.
