It is a fact that, however unplesent, aboriton is not a difficult or extereamly dangerious medical procedure. The equipment and the expertise (in the large majority of cases) to "do it right" just is not that hard to come by. Given the situation Drew describes, it would not be difficult for a young woman to take the chance and chose to terminate the pregancy, law or no law. The amature and black-market abortion is not unthinkable and is, in fact, a common reality in those parts of the world where abortion is illegal. In fact, the rate of abortion in a population GOES UP as the law becomes more restrictive. The reason is simple: Those societies that allow abortion also tend to take Drew's approach, and the result is a win-win for both sides of the issue.
