JoeyArnold replied 1 month, 2 weeks ago Law regulation may not be the most effective path towards ending abortion. Abortion starts out as an idea inside people's heads. Ideas are tough to kill.

I'm not asking about what strategies exist to combat abortion, I'm asking specifically about this one type of strategy: laws that regulate abortion.
