I don't understand making abortion illegal or trying to prevent it, because people will always get abortions, whether it's illegal or not, and if it's illegal then only criminals and people who don't know what they're doing will do it, pushing particularly young women and teens into the sphere of criminal organisations as well as the risk of causing all kinds of additional health related problems. Or women and girls with unwanted pregnancies will have the one legal option of having a baby that they either give up for adoption or can't support properly/neglect, and those kids will then be prime prey for these pedophile rings and cults, who go after unwanted kids, kids with overworked, poor, neglectful parents, and as we've seen they operate and work through a number of adoption agencies. It's the same with drugs, with anything really - if you push something underground it'll only get darker and dirtier.
Trump is not making anything illegal or pushing anything underground, he is simply stopping the government from spending our tax dollars on it in other countries. He has also made it quite clear that he wants to keep the Federal Gov from regulating abortion laws, and to follow the constitution which says the states can decide what to do about it. This lets you vote on it locally, and keeps the feds from making laws you don't even get to vote on. This way if your state is controlled by religious idiots that outlaw it, you can still go to a different state where it is still legal.
I know, I think you misunderstood me, or rather, I wasn't very clear at all. I was just musing on the whole abortion/pizzagate/trafficking thing and thinking about how these sick creeps could take advantage of young pregnant teens if abortion was made illegal, the OP made me think about it, that's all. I wasn't suggesting I thought Trump was going to make it illegal, I just got on a thought train and then a typing ramble and forgot to clarify or add anything that was about the actual post!
