Pretty much exactly this.
Smilodon:
Doesn't he realize that people might do out of clinic abortions instead? Or is he too fundie to admit that?
shykid:
It absolutely boggles my mind how the massive irony is lost on some people when the GOP claims to hate "big government" while wanting the government to ban birth control, outlaw abortion, obstruct LGBT equality, make Christianity as the state religion, execute people, etc.
Oriet:
Oh, another way he's showing that his worth is far below his namesake's.
sandman:
Sometimes it seems that politicians have never even cracked a history book. Prohibition proved definitively that making something illegal does not make go away. Alcohol consumption in the USA did not decrease one iota under Prohibition. In some areas consumption went up. Not to mention the criminalization of alcohol directly leading to the establishment of organized crime. If making something illegal made it go away, we wouldn't be wasting billions of dollars a year fighting an essentially useless "war on drugs," would we?
