Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.

It's probably true and definitely irrelevant.

If legal abortion affects crime, then that shows that legal abortion increases the rate of abortion.

Uh... yeah.

Celticempire is bringing this up because a common pro-choice talking point (in some circles) is that abortion bans are so commonly flouted that whether it's legal or not doesn't make any difference to how often it happens. Obviously this is untrue.

Lol, who the hell says that? That's absurd.

Evidence says it's true:

Wow, I guess we shouldn't bother restricting access to firearms then. After all, this proves that banning something doesn't make it more difficult to obtain!
To be fair, an abortion is something almost anyone can do on their own. You'd need a 3d printer or something to make your own gun.

Not if you have an AK-47 blueprint and something to melt scrap metal in.
